Bolt
An AI-powered web app builder that turns text prompts into working websites and apps in minutes, with live preview and instant deployment.
What is Bolt?
Bolt is an AI-powered builder that turns text prompts into working websites, web apps, and mobile apps.
Type your idea, hit send, and watch it generate a live preview with actual code you can edit and deploy. Built by StackBlitz, it runs entirely in your browser using WebContainers.
Most builders use it to prototype landing pages, dashboards, or simple SaaS tools in minutes instead of hours. The code is clean, modern (React, Vue, or vanilla JS), and you can export it or deploy directly from the interface.
Free tier available with usage limits. Pro plans start around $20/month for more builds and better AI models.
