Who is Bolt for?
Bolt is for everyone. Whether you’ve never written a line of code or you’re a full-stack developer, Bolt helps you build more and build faster. New to coding? Bolt removes the technical roadblocks. Describe what you want, and Bolt creates it for you. Then, make changes by chatting with Bolt. No coding knowledge required: bring your ideas and feedback, and Bolt does the rest. Experienced developer? Bolt gives you speed, flexibility, and full control. Choose your languages and frameworks, connect to source control, and edit your code directly in code view. Or don’t. If you have a technical background, that’s the beauty of Bolt: code when you want, prompt when you want. Bolt solves a different problem for each kind of builder:- Product managers: Go from insight to working prototype and test ideas with your team.
- Entrepreneurs: Build a full business, from your company website to a complete product.
- Marketers: Build high-performing campaign pages, with SEO and hosting included.
- Agencies: Work faster and deliver more client projects without growing your team.
- Students and builders: Turn class work or side projects into fully working apps.
What makes Bolt different
Here’s what makes Bolt a unique solution:- Everything in one place: Bolt Cloud gives you databases, hosting, and domains in one project, with no separate services or external accounts to set up.
- Your choice of AI agent: Pick the agent that powers your builds, based on the type of work you’re doing.
- You own your code. The code you create is yours to use for any legal purpose, including commercial projects.
- Nothing to install: Bolt runs in your browser and sets up your development environment for you, so there’s no local setup to manage.
Ways to start a project
You can start a new project from scratch or bring in work you already have:- Describe your idea. Type what you want to build into the chat, then click Build now. Bolt turns your prompt into a working project.

Build with your preferred agent
Bolt is powered by large language models (LLMs), which are advanced generative AI systems that turn your natural language prompts into working code. Bolt gives you the choice of which AI agent powers your builds, so you can work in the way that suits you best.If you’re new to the concept of large language models, learn more about how they work in Introduction to LLMs.
Connect other tools
Bolt works with external tools to extend what your app can do:- Expo to build and ship mobile apps
- Stripe to handle payments
- GitHub for version control, backups, and collaboration
- Google SSO for user authentication
- MCP servers to connect other tools and data you need
Collaborate with others
You can build on your own or share your project and work with others. On every project, you can:- Invite collaborators and manage their access
- Find and access shared projects from the projects dashboard
- Work together in real time using multiplayer mode
- Share integrations like databases and GitHub
Bolt Cloud
Bolt Cloud provides a complete solution for launching and running your app. Instead of managing separate services for databases, hosting, and domains, you can handle everything inside Bolt. This keeps your workflow focused on building your product rather than setting up infrastructure.Databases
When your app needs a database, Bolt automatically creates one for you. You can explore and edit data in a table view, review activity logs, edge functions, and secrets, and manage users and authentication without leaving your project. If you prefer, you can also claim your database and connect it to Supabase. Learn more about databases.Hosting
Publish your project to the web so you can share your work right away. Every project comes with a freebolt.host subdomain. Paid users can connect custom domains and access more publishing options. There’s nothing extra to configure and no external accounts to maintain. Learn more about hosting.
