Replit has introduced cross-project context to its chat interface. Users can start a new chat and ask Replit to locate existing projects, add features, or reference assets and structure from one project to update another.

Replit can read files across projects and leverage that context to launch code edits as background tasks, providing links to review the changes and continue development.
