bolt.new is an AI-driven web development platform from StackBlitz that lets you create, run, and deploy full-stack web applications entirely in your browser—no local setup required.
By combining cutting-edge AI models with an in-browser IDE powered by WebContainers, bolt.new enables users to generate functional apps from simple text prompts, edit code in real-time, and deploy to platforms like Netlify or Cloudflare with ease. Supporting popular frameworks like React, Next.js, and Svelte, it’s perfect for rapid prototyping, learning new tech stacks, or building production-ready projects without the hassle of traditional development environments.
Key Features:
- Prompt-to-App Creation: Describe your app in plain language, and bolt.new’s AI generates a full-stack codebase, complete with front-end and back-end functionality.
- In-Browser Development: Run Node.js servers, install npm packages, and edit code seamlessly within a fully functional browser-based IDE.
- Real-Time Execution: Preview your app instantly as you build, with AI-assisted debugging to fix errors on the fly.
- One-Click Deployment: Deploy your app directly to hosting platforms like Netlify or Cloudflare without leaving the browser.
- Framework Flexibility: Supports a wide range of JavaScript frameworks and libraries, including React, Vue, Next.js, Astro, and more.
- Vision Capabilities: AI can “see” your app’s UI, enabling precise pixel-level edits and reducing token usage for refinements.
- Scalable Usage: Free tier with daily token limits, plus paid plans starting at $20/month for private projects and higher AI usage.
- Open-Source Option: Access the bolt.diy repo to run it locally with your own LLM (e.g., Anthropic’s Claude) for full customization.
