Replit’s CEO says the future of work is the ‘self-driving company’

At TechCrunch Disrupt, Replit CEO and co-founder Amjad Masad shared his vision of the future of work as a 'self-driving company,' where AI agents take on much of the grunt work while humans focus on judgment and taste. He explained how Replit's own operations have been transformed: support tickets are initially triaged by an agent that gathers information from GitHub, the codebase, and Linear, so by the time a human reviews it, they have full context. When a human decides to apply a fix, another agent deploys it with a click. Masad emphasized that this loop keeps humans crucial for decision-making, and rather than eliminating jobs, it shifts people toward more strategic and creative work, such as architecture and problem-solving. He noted that companies are increasingly interested in how AI can make work more productive and enjoyable, and he hopes to promote a positive vision of AI's impact that Silicon Valley has not fully articulated.
