bolt.new

bolt.new is an app creation tool. Bolt is a chat driven builder for websites, apps, prototypes and slides. It runs a self-correcting coding agent in the browser, pulls in Figma and GitHub sources, and ships with Bolt Cloud hosting, databases, auth and SEO, aimed at non-engineers and fast-moving product teams.

Bolt is a browser based AI builder that turns a written prompt into a working website, app, slide deck or prototype. The starting point is a chat box: pick a format (website, slides, app or prototype), describe what you want, and the agent drafts the project in a live preview. From there you select any element on the page and ask for changes in plain language, so the loop stays conversational rather than file based. The underlying engineering is the interesting part. Bolt routes each task to a model tier it judges appropriate (a standard agent for everyone, a Max tier reserved for Pro accounts) to balance output quality against token cost. The agent also tests, refactors and iterates on its own output, which the company claims cuts errors by 98 percent, and the context management has been rebuilt to hold much larger codebases in view. Projects can inherit an existing design system, and new work can be seeded from Figma files, GitHub repositories or team templates instead of a blank prompt. Bolt Cloud bundles the pieces that usually require separate vendors: hosting, custom domains, analytics, databases, user management and authentication, plus SEO handling so pages are indexable from launch. The pitch is that a prototype and its production stack live in the same familiar interface, with no extra accounts. The audience is deliberately broad. Product managers mock up ideas in an afternoon, entrepreneurs ship a landing page and a product in one flow, marketers produce campaign pages, agencies take on more work without hiring, and students learn by building. It competes with chat based builders like Lovable and v0, and its edge is the bundled backend and hosting rather than code generation alone. On pricing, the site advertises a free starting point and a Pro tier that unlocks the Max agent, but no figures are published on the homepage.
