Bolt.new
bolt.new is an AI-powered full-stack web builder and browser-based IDE that generates, edits, and deploys web applications using natural language prompts. It functions as an AI-driven application orchestrator, managing the entire development lifecycle through a chat interface.
The platform distinguishes itself by integrating a WebAssembly-based runtime and virtual terminal emulation directly in the browser. This allows an AI agent to execute tool calls, manage a virtual filesystem, install packages, and run servers without requiring a local development environment.
The system covers a comprehensive development surface including browser-side module bundling for real-time previews and automated environment control. It also provides a mechanism for publishing completed projects to production environments to generate shareable public links.
Features
- Full-Stack Application Builders - Automates the development and deployment of complete full-stack web applications from natural language prompts.
- Agent Tool Execution - Allows the AI agent to interact with the virtual filesystem and terminal through structured tool calls.
- AI Agent Orchestrators - Functions as an agentic system that orchestrates package installation and file modifications via chat.
- AI Coding Assistants - Enables software iteration via a chat interface with an AI agent capable of managing the filesystem and terminal.
- Development Environment Management - Enables automated agents to install packages, execute servers, and manage the terminal environment.
- Browser-Based Development Environments - Provides a full-stack development environment that executes build processes and runtimes directly within the browser.
- Integrated Development Loops - Integrates an editor, terminal, and preview window to enable a real-time code execution loop without external hosting.
- AI-Driven Virtual Filesystems - Translates natural language prompts into specific file operations to generate and modify a virtual directory structure.
- Web-Based IDEs - Provides a full-featured integrated development environment running entirely within a web browser.
- Terminal Emulation - Simulates a command-line interface in the browser to execute shell commands and manage the environment.
- Browser-Based Runtimes - Runs a full Node.js environment directly inside the browser using WebAssembly to execute servers and package managers.
- Prompt Iteration - Provides a mechanism for users to iteratively refine and edit natural language prompts to improve generated code quality.
- Module Bundling Engines - Compiles and serves application assets from a virtual filesystem to a real-time preview window.
- Rapid Prototyping Environments - Rapidly converts ideas into functional web apps by generating and running code immediately in the browser.
- Web Application Deployment - Automates the deployment of generated web applications to live production environments.
- Application Deployment - Publishes web applications to a live production environment and generates shareable public links.
- Full-Stack Development - Facilitates the unified development of frontend and backend components using natural language prompts.
- Web Chat Interfaces - Web-based AI development and chat environment.
- Coding Agents and IDEs - Browser-based agent for building and deploying full-stack apps.
