Replit is powering SMFL’s core software products and has massively accelerated their development process: For example they recently in just one week, with one person, completed a project that previously required six people working for six months.

Next we’re partnering to bring AI-powered software creation to Japanese enterprises, helping them overcome labor shortages, accelerate innovation, and unlock entirely new business opportunities.
