Who it's for
- Product managers who want to turn an insight into a prototype and test it with their team.
- Entrepreneurs building a business project that includes a landing page and product.
- Marketers or agencies creating campaign pages or client projects with hosting included.
How it fits your workflow
Start with a prompt, a prototype, a template, a Figma project, a GitHub project, or a team template. Describe the app or website you want to create in Bolt's chat.
Bolt's coding agents build and iterate on the project. The page says they automatically test and refactor, and that Bolt routes tasks to a suitable model.
Use Bolt Cloud for the listed hosting, databases, user management and authentication, SEO optimization, analytics, and custom domains.
