What it does
7 features
Bolt · AI agent for building websites and apps
Product and access
Bolt is a hosted product from StackBlitz. The reviewed pages name no licence for the hosted product's source code.
Core features
7 features from provider sources · checked on 5 November 2026. Availability and limits are directly below.
Standard and Max agents
Bolt picks the underlying models. Standard is described as fast and token-efficient, Max thinks more about each step and targets large codebases; Max requires a paid plan.
Source 5Plan Mode
In Plan Mode you talk a project through without changing your code. It can search the web and includes your codebase in each message.
Source 9Project knowledge and context
Project knowledge is persistent and available to Bolt even after the context is cleared. Active history is limited and older messages can drop out; /clear resets it.
Source 6Built-in hosting and database
Bolt publishes for free on a bolt.host address; custom domains come with paid plans. Databases are unlimited, per the page, and on Pro and Teams you can choose Supabase.
Source 13GitHub integration
Bolt commits every change that does not break the project and checks GitHub every 30 seconds for outside changes. You create branches in Bolt; merging happens in GitHub.
Source 11Version history
Bolt keeps older versions automatically; you can roll back from the Version history panel and compare against earlier versions in Preview.

Queued prompts, MCP and Figma

Usable AI models
Fixed choice across providers
You choose the Standard or Max agent, and Bolt decides on the model behind it; Max requires a paid plan. The release notes name Claude as the basis, while the current agents page names no models. The Forge preview agent runs on open models such as GLM, Kimi and DeepSeek, applies to Pro and shares your data anonymized for training.

Does it fit my task?
2 practical tasks · 7 requirements and limits
A good fit if …
- you want to build websites and apps by chat with a built-in database and hosting and publish immediately
- you want to talk things through in Plan Mode without code changes before building
- you want to continue your project through the GitHub integration with branches and history
Less suitable if …
- you expect scheduled or recurring agent runs, which the pages do not document
- you want to merge branches directly in the app
- you need private published sites on the free plan

Practical tasks
Editorial examples based on documented features. No product tests performed.
App with sign-up and database
- Your input
- A prompt describing a small app with email sign-up and saved favourites.
- Possible result
- Bolt builds the app and creates the required databases; you test it in the preview and publish it with Publish.
- What to check
- Test the preview, check the database and the site's visibility, and bring the published site up to date with Update after changes.
Plan, build and review through GitHub
- Your input
- A project you talk through in Plan Mode and a connected GitHub repository.
- Possible result
- After Implement this plan, Bolt switches to Build mode and commits changes to the connected repository.
- What to check
- Review the diff in GitHub and merge the branch there.
Build a small app with sign-up and a database by prompt and publish it.
Your possible prompt
Read the project rules. Investigate [error], propose a small change, and run the relevant checks. Show me the diff and any remaining uncertainties.
Adjust the task, data and permissions.
Requirements and limits
Requirement
Account needed
You need an account to build; sign-in works with Google, GitHub or email, with no credit card required.
Source 4Limitation
Free plan restrictions
Free has a daily limit of 300K tokens, and unused daily tokens do not carry over. Free plan tokens do not roll over.
Source 7Limitation

Source 13Limitation
Merging only in GitHub
Bolt currently does not support merging branches in the app. Only the project owner can connect and manage the GitHub integration.
Source 11Limitation
Limited active context
Active history covers recent messages only; older ones can drop out. Put key information in project knowledge.
Source 6Limitation
Training on your content on by default
The Model training setting is on by default, except for accounts based in the EU, UK or Switzerland. It covers content created from 7 October 2026, plus older content submitted to Bolt’s AI features from that date, and can be switched off at any time.

Training off for EU, UK and Swiss accounts
The Model training setting is off by default for accounts based in the EU, UK or Switzerland. The privacy policy does not license datasets derived from content of such accounts; it treats accounts of unknown location like these regions.
Region, reason and source
Region covered: EU/EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland
Documented reason: This concerns training rules, not a country release of the service.

Availability still unclear
Data storage: no region named
The security page names neither storage location nor region options. The privacy policy says personal information may be processed outside your country, including in the United States, and relies on standard contractual clauses where required.

Attestations and contracts for Teams and Enterprise
According to the provider, the security page names SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance. Teams and Enterprise customers under an MSA or DPA are excluded from model training and data sharing. On the pricing page, Teams adds access management and Enterprise adds SSO and audit logs.
Region, reason and source
Region covered: EU/EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland
Documented reason: The statements are the provider's own and no country release.
Availability still unclear
Availability in Europe
The reviewed pages contain no explicit statement about availability in individual European countries.

Account used
Sign-in works with Google, GitHub or email and password; SSO is available only on Enterprise. Each workspace has its own projects, tokens, subscription and settings.
EvidenceDocumented
Data access & team sharing
According to the security page, code runs client-side in an isolated browser environment while you build. Row Level Security is followed as far as the application allows. Private published sites are available on paid plans only, and team members can view them by default.
Evidence · Evidence
Memory and conversation continuity
3 of 6 criteria documented
Project knowledge stays available persistently while the active chat context is limited; the reviewed pages describe no automatic memory.
Project knowledge, active chat context and version history
Sources accessed:
Documentation by criterion
StorageDocumented
Storage and scope
Project knowledge holds background instructions for one project and is persistent. Version history keeps older versions automatically. With the GitHub integration, each branch keeps its own memory.
SelectionPartly documented
Selection and timing
You create project knowledge yourself; the page presents it as background instructions for Bolt to follow. No mechanism that selects memories automatically is described on the reviewed pages.
Edit & deletePartly documented
Inspect, edit and delete
With /clear you reset Bolt's understanding of recent history; the codebase and files remain. Project settings describe Clear context as clearing short-term memory. The account management page describes no steps for deleting a project, and account deletion in the StackBlitz settings cannot be undone.
Access boundariesPartly documented
Agent and channel boundaries
Each workspace has its own projects, tokens, subscription and settings. Switching workspaces does not move projects unless you transfer them. The context page does not describe memory across separate chats.
RetrievalDocumented
Retrieval
According to the page, Bolt can always access project knowledge, even in long conversations or after the context is cleared. Plan Mode includes the codebase in each message.
New conversationsDocumented
Session reset and compaction
Active history is limited to recent messages and older ones can drop out; /clear resets it. The page describes no summarisation or compaction.

Starting further runs
You enter prompts in the chat; prompts sent while Bolt is working are processed in order. The release notes mention no schedules or background agents.

Detecting errors
If Bolt and GitHub collide, a conflict message appears and you resend or discard your last change. When the Free daily limit is reached, you can still make direct edits in Code view or wait for the daily reset. The reviewed pages do not say how Bolt otherwise surfaces errors.
