Bolt.new is an AI-powered agent for building, running, editing, and deploying full-stack web applications entirely within the browser. It targets developers, product managers, and designers, enabling rapid prototyping and full-stack development without local setup.

How It Works

Bolt.new leverages StackBlitz's WebContainers to provide a complete Node.js environment in the browser, allowing installation and execution of npm packages, running backend servers, and interacting with APIs. The AI agent has full control over the development environment, including the filesystem, package manager, and terminal, enabling it to manage the entire application lifecycle from creation to deployment.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Access via the Bolt.new website.
• Requires a modern web browser.
• Free tier available; paid plans for increased token limits and private projects.
