Direct answer
What is Bolt?
Bolt turns prompts into running full-stack apps inside the browser using WebContainers, with integrations for databases, auth, payments, and one-click deployment.
Bolt runs a full Node environment in the browser, so generated apps execute instantly with live previews. It supports frameworks such as Next.js and Expo, integrates with Supabase, Stripe, and hosting providers, and lets users edit code directly or continue with prompts.
Instant in-browser execution with a focus on complete apps and integrations, not just UI snippets.
