## Key features

### 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.

### Plan 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: https://support.bolt.new/prompting/plan-mode.md

### Project 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: https://support.bolt.new/prompting/manage-context.md

### Built-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.

### GitHub 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: https://support.bolt.new/integrations/git.md

### Version history

Bolt keeps older versions automatically; you can roll back from the Version history panel and compare against earlier versions in Preview.

Source: https://support.bolt.new/reference/version-history-github.md

### Queued prompts, MCP and Figma

Prompts you send while Bolt is working are queued and processed in order. According to the release notes, MCP connectors and importing Figma frames are also available.

## Example workflows

### 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.

## Requirements and limits

### Account needed

Requirement: You need an account to build; sign-in works with Google, GitHub or email, with no credit card required.

Source: https://support.bolt.new/get-started/quickstart.md

### Free plan restrictions

Limitation: Free has a daily limit of 300K tokens, and unused daily tokens do not carry over. Free plan tokens do not roll over.

Source: https://support.bolt.new/account/tokens.md

### Published site does not update automatically

Limitation: Changes to your project are not applied to the published site automatically; you click Update in the Publish menu. On the Free plan all published sites are public; private sites are available on paid plans only.

Source: https://support.bolt.new/bolt-cloud/hosting/publish.md

### Merging only in GitHub

Limitation: Bolt currently does not support merging branches in the app. Only the project owner can connect and manage the GitHub integration.

Source: https://support.bolt.new/integrations/git.md

### Limited active context

Limitation: Active history covers recent messages only; older ones can drop out. Put key information in project knowledge.

Source: https://support.bolt.new/prompting/manage-context.md

### Training on your content on by default

Limitation: 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.

### Schedules not documented

Not yet confirmed: The release notes mention no scheduled tasks, automations or background agents.

Source: https://support.bolt.new/release-notes

## 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

## 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.

- Model families named: Anthropic (Claude)
- Model choice: The product chooses
- Your own API key: Not stated
- Router or custom endpoint: Not stated
- Local models: Not stated
- Depends on: Plan, Preview or beta

## Europe & regional availability

Privacy policy, account settings and security page reviewed. According to the provider, accounts in the EU, UK and Switzerland have their own training rules; the pages name no country release or data regions.

Reviewed scope: Hosted service; training and data storage treated separately
Reviewed on: 2026-11-05

### Training off for EU, UK and Swiss accounts

With requirements

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 covered: EU/EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Documented reason: This concerns training rules, not a country release of the service.

Official source: https://support.bolt.new/settings/account-settings
Official source: https://stackblitz.com/privacy-policy

### Data storage: no region named

Availability still unclear

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.

Region covered: EU/EEA

Documented reason: The sources name no specific data region.

Official source: https://bolt.new/platform/security
Official source: https://stackblitz.com/privacy-policy

### Attestations and contracts for Teams and Enterprise

With requirements

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 covered: EU/EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Documented reason: The statements are the provider's own and no country release.

### Availability in Europe

Availability still unclear

The reviewed pages contain no explicit statement about availability in individual European countries.

Region covered: EU/EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Documented reason: A missing statement is not availability.

## Operation & oversight

Based on public provider documentation. Assessments are editorial inferences from the stated properties. Actual time requirements and reliability have not been measured.

Deployment covered: Hosted operation in the browser
Sources reviewed: 2026-11-05

### Files and working state

Documented: Bolt keeps older versions in version history. With a connected GitHub repository, Bolt commits every change that does not break the project and pulls in outside changes every 30 seconds.

Evidence: https://support.bolt.new/reference/version-history-github.md
Evidence: https://support.bolt.new/integrations/git.md

### Sign-ins

Documented with conditions: Sign-in with Google, GitHub or email; SSO on Enterprise only. How long sign-ins stay valid was not established in this review.

Evidence: https://support.bolt.new/account/account-management.md

### Starting further runs

Documented: 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.

Evidence: https://support.bolt.new/release-notes

### Human intervention

Documented: Plan Mode changes no code; Implement this plan switches to Build mode. Publishing is an explicit step through Publish or Update. You merge branches in GitHub.

Evidence: https://support.bolt.new/bolt-cloud/hosting/publish.md
Evidence: https://support.bolt.new/integrations/git.md

### Detecting errors

Documented with conditions: 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.

Evidence: https://support.bolt.new/integrations/git.md
Evidence: https://support.bolt.new/account/tokens.md

### Resuming after failures

Documented: You roll back from the Version history panel. /clear resets chat context without losing files. Through GitHub you continue with branches and history.

Evidence: https://support.bolt.new/prompting/manage-context.md
Evidence: https://support.bolt.new/integrations/git.md

### Editorial assessment

Bolt works in the browser under your supervision, with version history and GitHub as a safety net. No schedules are documented; plan tokens, the visibility of the published site and the training opt-out yourself.

## Memory and conversation continuity

Scope: Project knowledge, active chat context and version history
Sources accessed: 2026-11-05

Project knowledge stays available persistently while the active chat context is limited; the reviewed pages describe no automatic memory.

### Storage and scope

Documented: 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.

- [Bolt: Project settings](https://support.bolt.new/settings/project-settings.md)
- [Bolt: Manage context](https://support.bolt.new/prompting/manage-context.md)
- [Bolt: Version history](https://support.bolt.new/reference/version-history-github.md)
- [Bolt: GitHub](https://support.bolt.new/integrations/git.md)

### Selection and timing

Partly documented: 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.

- [Bolt: Project settings](https://support.bolt.new/settings/project-settings.md)
- [Bolt: Manage context](https://support.bolt.new/prompting/manage-context.md)

### Inspect, edit and delete

Partly documented: 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.

- [Bolt: Manage context](https://support.bolt.new/prompting/manage-context.md)
- [Bolt: Project settings](https://support.bolt.new/settings/project-settings.md)
- [Bolt: Account management](https://support.bolt.new/account/account-management.md)

### Agent and channel boundaries

Partly documented: 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.

- [Bolt: Account management](https://support.bolt.new/account/account-management.md)
- [Bolt: Manage context](https://support.bolt.new/prompting/manage-context.md)

### Retrieval

Documented: 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.

- [Bolt: Manage context](https://support.bolt.new/prompting/manage-context.md)
- [Bolt: Plan Mode](https://support.bolt.new/prompting/plan-mode.md)

### Session reset and compaction

Documented: Active history is limited to recent messages and older ones can drop out; /clear resets it. The page describes no summarisation or compaction.

- [Bolt: Manage context](https://support.bolt.new/prompting/manage-context.md)

## Context

An account and tokens. The Free plan has only the Standard agent, a daily limit of 300K tokens and public sites only.

Home page, pricing, help centre, security page and privacy policy reviewed. Example tasks are editorial; hands-on tests are still pending.
