About Bolt.new
Bolt.new is StackBlitz's prompt-to-app builder that runs a full Node.js stack inside your browser tab, on WebContainers.
Its trick is running everything in-browser: a full Node.js runtime via WebContainers with no cloud-sandbox latency, support for any npm package and stacks like Next.js, Astro, Remix, and Vite, and one-click deploy to Netlify.
It fits people who want to prompt an app and see it run instantly, without server setup. Two caveats: token-based pricing on paid tiers can burn credits quickly on large projects, and mobile-app generation is supported but less mature than web.
It's the in-browser, any-stack builder next to the opinionated v0 (Next.js) and Lovable (React + Supabase).
