What it does
One-click import flows to bring existing projects from other platforms into Replit. Per Replit Docs:
| Source | Docs path | Advertised time |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub | /quickstarts/import-from-github/ |
2 min |
| Figma | /quickstarts/import-from-figma/ |
3 min — "Convert your Figma designs into functional React applications" |
| Bolt | /quickstarts/import-from-bolt/ |
4 min — "Migrate your Bolt projects to Replit with Agent assistance" |
| Lovable | /quickstarts/import-from-lovable/ |
4 min — "Transfer your Lovable projects to Replit and continue building" |
Target ICP
Users of competing tools. This is a capture play, not greenfield acquisition.
Why this matters
Replit is explicitly naming direct competitors (Bolt, Lovable) in its own first-party documentation as migration sources. This is aggressive. Most tools don't do this because it validates the competitor's brand; Replit's bet is that surface-area capture outweighs validation cost. Also signals they're confident users will try the migration and stay.
Figma-to-React-app is a different category of wedge — not competitor-capture but designer-capture: pulling Figma users across the build-vs.-design line.
How it works
Mechanics not captured. For Bolt/Lovable, "Agent assistance" implies a semi-automatic rewrite — likely the agent reads the imported files and adapts them to Replit's runtime/build system.
