What is Bolt.new?
Bolt.new, now branded as Bolt, is an AI app builder from StackBlitz. You describe what you want and it builds a working web app or website, with the code running live in your browser so you can see and test changes instantly.
Hosting, databases and authentication are built in, so you can go from an idea to a deployed app without setting up servers, and still open and edit the full code.
