Become a self-driving company + workshop

What if your company kept moving even when your team was offline? Not because there’s a giant engineering team behind it, but because agents handle the busywork and come to you when it’s time to decide.

Replit calls this the self-driving company: people choose the destination (what matters, the tradeoffs, the taste), and agents do more and more of the steps in between, within limits you control.

Join Dev Korea and Minsang Daniel Kim (Replit Ambassador) for an evening on what that means for builders in Seoul. We’ll introduce Replit and its latest updates and talk honestly about why it matters whether you’re an engineer, a founder, a freelancer, or the person on your team who always ends up building the internal tools.

Then we’ll hand out Replit subscriptions and open our laptops for a short, guided build. You’ll leave with a small working tool, published at a live link, that does one real “company job.”

No hackathon pressure and no judging. Just a good talk, a focused build, food, and good company.

Who it’s for

• Developers curious about building and running real apps with AI agents
• Founders, indie hackers, and small teams who want to move like a bigger company
• PMs, designers, marketers, and ops people who are tired of waiting on engineering for small tools
• Anyone in Seoul’s tech community who wants to try Replit hands-on

No prior Replit experience needed.

Highlights

• The self-driving company: what it is, what Replit has shipped recently, and why it matters for you
• A short live demo of the tool we’ll build together
• Replit subscriptions handed out on the night
• A short guided build session: build and publish a small team tool in under an hour, with help in the room
• Food, drinks, and networking with Seoul’s English-speaking (and Korean-speaking!) tech community

What to bring

• A laptop (required for the build session; a phone won’t be enough)
• A Replit account: sign up for free at replit.com before you arrive
• Your charger
• One small, annoying task from your work or side project you’d love an agent to handle

Hosts

• Minsang Daniel Kim, Replit Ambassador
• Dev Korea, the community connecting English-speaking developers, entrepreneurs, and tech professionals in Korea
