What Bolt.new does
Bolt.new builds websites and apps conversationally with built-in database, authentication, SEO tools, hosting, analytics and custom domains, testing and refactoring its own output and starting from Figma, GitHub or a team template.
Bolt.new is a prompt-first builder that runs the whole stack in the browser: Bolt Agent writes the app, Bolt Cloud supplies hosting, databases, auth and integrations, and the project can start from Figma, GitHub or a team template. The page also claims better reliability and larger projects than earlier versions, but the concrete pieces to compare are the backend, auth and deployment rather than the chat box.
