What is Replit Ghostwriter?

Replit Ghostwriter is an AI coding assistant integrated directly into the Replit cloud IDE. It helps developers write, understand, and modify code through real-time suggestions and conversational assistance. The tool works across over 50 programming languages and requires no setup beyond your browser, making it useful for both beginners learning to code and experienced developers looking to work faster.
