Tool profile
AI app builder for generating, editing, and shipping full-stack web projects in the browser.
Rapid prototyping
Bolt.new is one of the clearest examples of the browser-native AI app builder category. It combines prompt-driven generation with an in-browser development environment so users can scaffold apps, inspect code, iterate on UI, and keep shipping without starting from a blank local setup.
Its value is speed to working software, especially for prototypes, internal tools, demos, and early product experiments. The real test is whether the generated app stays editable and structurally sound once the project moves past the first impressive prompt.
Quick fit
Editorial take
Bolt.new should be judged on how quickly it gets a team to a useful app and how editable that app remains after the initial generation. The key comparison is with Lovable, v0, Replit Agent, and hand-built prototypes, not with traditional IDE copilots.
