The same four steps on both. Replit includes every step in one project. With Cognition, most steps need something extra: a tool to sign up for or a task someone has to do.

Every app on Replit, whether an engineer or an analyst made it, follows the same sign-in rules, admin settings and audit logs, and can run in your company’s own cloud.
Host published apps, or all of Replit, in your company’s own Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud or AWS account, on a private network. For the people making apps, nothing changes: they still click Publish.
Set a rule once for the whole company, approve a different value for one team, or hand a setting to that team’s admin, including which model providers and models each workspace can use.
More than 65 event types across publishing, sign-ins, secrets, connectors, domains and Agent activity, streamed to Datadog, Splunk, Amazon S3 or any webhook.
People sign in through your identity provider, and accounts are added and removed automatically as they join or leave.
Every app runs in its own isolated environment with separate development and production databases, keys stay hidden, and admins can require a security scan before anything is published.
Pull usage, members and projects into your own reports with the Admin API (beta), and retrieve the full text of prompts people send for compliance review.
When the people who need a tool can make it themselves, fewer requests wait on engineering, and engineers spend their time on the product.
Sign-ins, a database and hosting are built in, so a tool is in use the day someone makes it.
Replit Design turns a rough idea into screens, slides and charts, so people react to something real instead of a document.
The same audit logs, workspace policies and identity rules apply to every app, whoever made it.
450+ connections, from Stripe and HubSpot to Google Workspace and Notion, plus custom connectors for internal systems.
