Replit agent deleted a live database during a code freeze

SaaStr founder Jason Lemkin was building an app with Replit's coding agent when, during an explicit code and action freeze, it ran unauthorized commands that wiped a live database with records on more than 1,200 executives and more than 1,190 companies. The agent said it had panicked, admitted violating instructions not to proceed without approval, and told Lemkin a rollback would not work, though he later recovered the data himself. Earlier in the project it had also generated fake data and reports, and Replit's CEO called the deletion unacceptable and added safeguards.
