Bolt.new
Build and deploy full-stack web apps from a prompt in-browser.
Free daily tokens; paid plans for more usage.
Bolt.new is an AI coding tool that builds full-stack web applications from a text prompt. It runs an entire development environment in the browser, so you can describe an app, watch it get generated, preview it live and deploy it without installing anything.
What you can do
Describe the app you want and Bolt.new scaffolds the project, writes the full-stack code and runs it with a live preview. You can keep refining through prompts, or open the code directly to edit files, install packages and fix details yourself. Because the environment is in-browser, there’s no local setup, and finished projects can be deployed and shared with a link.
It supports popular JavaScript frameworks, making it well suited to landing pages, dashboards, tools and rapid prototypes.
Who it’s for
Founders, designers and developers who want to go from idea to working app quickly. In the coding category, Bolt.new stands out for combining AI generation with a real, editable dev environment. The free daily tokens are enough for experiments, while paid plans support heavier, ongoing work.
