# Bolt

> In-browser AI app and website builder with live preview and code execution

Bolt (bolt.new) by StackBlitz is an in-browser development tool that generates full-stack web applications and websites from conversational prompts. It provides a live browser environment where users can inspect elements, test interactive code, and iteratively refine UI sections using visual selectors. It also integrates backend services, databases, and deployment hosting directly within the browser.
