We envision a future where anyone, regardless of coding expertise, can bring their ideas to life instantly through natural language-based software creation. At Bolt.new, we are pioneering a transformative approach that democratizes app and website development by fusing cutting-edge AI with revolutionary browser-native technologies.
Our platform harnesses advanced AI models alongside proprietary WebContainers technology to redefine the boundaries of what can be built, how quickly it can be realized, and where it can be deployed—all seamlessly within the browser.
Together, we are building a future where creative potential is unleashed without traditional barriers, empowering entrepreneurs, creators, and developers to focus on their visions and accelerate innovation on a global scale.
Our Review
We've been tracking Bolt.new since its quiet launch in late 2024, and we're genuinely impressed by how it's reshaping the landscape of software development. What started as a simple tweet has exploded into one of tech's most remarkable growth stories - second only to ChatGPT in terms of rapid adoption.
A Game-Changing Approach to Building Software
What sets Bolt apart is its ability to turn plain English descriptions into fully functional applications. We've seen numerous "no-code" tools before, but Bolt's integration of Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.5 with WebContainers technology creates something entirely different. The results are surprisingly sophisticated - from sleek landing pages to complete mobile apps, all generated from natural language prompts.
Speed and Simplicity That Actually Delivers
In our testing, what stood out wasn't just the speed of development (though that's impressive), but the quality of the output. The Vision feature lets you make pixel-perfect adjustments, while Bolt Cloud handles all the technical heavy lifting - hosting, domains, databases - in one seamless package.
Perhaps most telling is how they've managed to scale to a million monthly active users with just three support staff. That's not just efficient - it's nearly unheard of in the tech world.
Who Should Jump On Board?
While developers can certainly benefit from Bolt's capabilities, we're most excited about what this means for entrepreneurs and creators without coding backgrounds. The ability to go from concept to deployed application without writing code isn't just convenient - it's potentially transformative for small businesses and startups.
Having watched the platform grow from $60,000 to $40 million in ARR in just months, we're convinced Bolt.new isn't just another development tool - it's a glimpse into the future of software creation. The recent merger with Expo and the launch of their builders marketplace suggests they're just getting started.
