Bolt.new

Bolt.new is an AI app and website builder: you describe what you want in a chat prompt (or dictate it out loud), and a coding agent writes the code, tests and refactors it, then publishes it to Bolt Cloud with hosting, databases, auth, and SEO already in place. It's built for people who care about a live URL rather than a code block — product managers validating an idea with a team, founders shipping a landing page and product in the same flow, marketers standing up campaign pages in an afternoon, agencies stretching output without new hires, and students learning by actually deploying. The plumbing that usually eats a week is bundled. Bolt Cloud handles website hosting with analytics and custom domains, unlimited databases with a choice of provider (expanded capacity on paid plans), user management and authentication, and SEO optimization so projects rank from day one. Start from production-ready Bolt Templates — dashboards, storefronts, portfolios — or fork a Figma file or GitHub repo, and keep output on-brand with an imported design system. The agent work sits on top of that. Bolt Agent routes each task between Standard (all users) and Max (Pro and above) so you're not choosing a model per request, and the platform says automatic testing and refactoring cuts errors by up to 98%. Context management is pitched at projects 1,000 times larger than before, which matters because token burn scales with your file tree. Recent additions move it past plain code generation: Dictation (talk your prompt instead of typing it), Skills (reusable bundles of context, rules, and workflows applied as you build), a one-click security agent that scans and hardens an app before publish, and Bolt Slides for presentations. Where it separates from chat-to-code tools that stop at a snippet, Bolt owns the deploy — but it's a managed stack, so teams needing hand-tuned backends or strict data residency should look at Lovable, Replit, or a conventional repo.
