Bolt is an in-browser AI web development agent for full stack web application development. It provides a chat-based environment where you prompt an agent to make code changes. These changes are implemented in realtime in the development environment.

​
What you can build

You can build websites and JavaScript-based full stack web applications with Bolt. For inspiration, Bolt’s YouTube channel, features use cases of users that have successfully launched their applications through Bolt. You can use a wide range of JavaScript-based web frameworks and integrations with other tools to build your app. Bolt integrates with:
  • Figma for design.
  • Netlify for deployment and hosting.
  • Supabase for databases, authentication, and file storage.
  • GitHub for version control, backups, and collaboration.
  • Expo for mobile application development.
  • Stripe for payment handling.

For both technical users and learners

Bolt is a tool to help users build anything from a simple content-focused website (such as a blog) to a full stack web application (such as a productivity app). It requires smart prompting by the user and some understanding of web development, either through experience or research. You don’t need to know how to code when you start out: building with Bolt is a great way to learn how to code in a practical, hands-on way, with AI support always available. You do need to be very clear with Bolt about:
  • What you want Bolt to do.
  • How it should feel for a user of your web application.
  • What success looks like.
To help you get started read the guides in Best practices to learn how to Prompt effectively and work with AI in different modes.

Bolt and StackBlitz

StackBlitz is Bolt’s parent company, and the two platforms are interconnected in two key ways:
  • Bolt uses StackBlitz’s WebContainers to provide the development environment.
  • It also links with StackBlitz for account and project management. Refer to Accounts and subscriptions for more information.
Learn more about StackBlitz in the StackBlitz documentation.
