Replit announced a partnership with Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing (SMFL), one of Japan's leading leasing companies, combining SMFL's AssetForce asset-management cloud with Replit's AI development platform so business requirements can be turned into working apps via natural language.
SMFL estimates work that previously required six people and roughly six months could now be done by one person in about a week. AssetForce already serves over 200 paying companies, making this a notable enterprise adoption case for AI coding platforms.
