Build a book-sharing app and demo in one day
During a 24-hour hackathon, they used Replit Agent to create GiveABook and its demo video.
- What they did
- In the Replit 10 buildathon, they asked Replit Agent to create an app called GiveABook. The app let people post books, bring them in, and set up Sunday pickup for readers nearby. The agent also produced the demo video.
- How it went
- The app went live at the provided Replit link, along with the video. Everything was completed within the same 24-hour event window.
- Tips
- Give the agent the main user flow, then ask for a short demo script or video once the app works. Pause before any public launch so you can review the final version first.
