Bolt.new

About

Bolt.new by StackBlitz is an AI-powered full-stack app builder that revolutionizes how web applications are created. Instead of writing code yourself, you describe your application idea in natural language, and Bolt.new generates, runs, and deploys a complete full-stack application — including frontend, backend, database, and authentication — in your browser with zero local setup. Bolt.new runs in a browser-based development environment powered by WebContainers (StackBlitz's proprietary technology that runs Node.js entirely in the browser), so everything happens online without installing anything. As you chat with the AI, you can see the app running live in a preview window, make changes by describing them, inspect the generated code, install packages, and push to production — all from a single browser tab. Bolt.new excels at rapid prototyping, MVP development, and hackathon projects where speed matters more than perfect code quality. It generates modern React or Next.js applications with Tailwind CSS styling, responsive layouts, and common backend patterns. The tool supports deploying directly to Netlify or Vercel with a single click. Pricing includes a free tier with limited prompts, with paid plans starting at USD 20 per month for more AI interactions and private projects. Compared to Lovable (formerly GPT Engineer), Bolt.new offers a more complete browser-based development experience that doesn't require connecting to a cloud IDE or local environment — it's the closest thing to having a developer that you can just talk to and get a working app back.
