Bolt.new
Build and deploy full-stack apps with AI in the browser
About Bolt.new
Bolt.new is a browser-based AI application builder developed by StackBlitz that enables users to generate, run, edit, and deploy full-stack web applications using conversational AI prompts. It runs a complete Node.js development environment directly in the browser using WebContainers technology, meaning there is no server-side code execution and no local setup required. The AI agent — powered by Anthropic's Claude — can generate complete React, Next.js, Vite, and other framework-based applications from a description, install dependencies, run the app, and iterate on changes in real time. Bolt.new has become extremely popular for rapid prototyping and building functional MVPs without a traditional development setup, and supports one-click deployment to platforms like Netlify and Vercel.

More Code & Developer Tools
Amazon CodeWhisperer
Amazon CodeWhisperer is an AI code generation tool developed by AWS that provides real-time code suggestions, security scanning, and infrastructure-as-code assistance across all major programming languages and IDEs. It is deeply integrated with the AWS ecosystem, making it the natural AI coding companion for developers building cloud-native applications on Amazon Web Services. CodeWhisperer is free for individual developers and includes a built-in security vulnerability scanner that flags issues as you code.
Phind
Phind is an AI-powered search engine designed specifically for developers, combining web search with AI-generated answers that include code examples, explanations, and source citations. It searches technical documentation, Stack Overflow, GitHub, and the broader web to produce precise, actionable answers to programming questions. Phind is used by developers who want faster, more accurate technical answers than traditional search engines can provide.
Cursor
Cursor is an AI-native code editor built on top of VS Code that brings deep AI assistance directly into the development environment. It allows developers to chat with their codebase, generate code from natural language instructions, and apply intelligent multi-file edits with a single prompt. Cursor is designed to keep developers in flow while dramatically accelerating the coding process.
Windsurf
Windsurf is an AI-native code editor developed by Codeium that takes AI coding assistance to the next level with its Cascade agent — an autonomous coding system that can plan, execute, and iterate on multi-step development tasks independently. Unlike traditional AI code assistants that respond to single prompts, Windsurf's agent maintains full awareness of the codebase and can act proactively on behalf of the developer. It is designed for developers who want an AI collaborator, not just an autocomplete tool.
