What is Bolt.new?

Bolt.new generates web apps from text prompts and lets you keep refining them in the browser. It includes website hosting and databases, and usage is measured in AI tokens. Paid plans remove branding and add custom domains and larger limits.

Building and hosting a full-stack prototype usually needs many tools. Bolt combines generation, editing and hosting.
