## What it is
Bolt.new is an open-source AI-powered web development agent that lets users prompt, run, edit, and deploy full-stack web applications directly from the browser using StackBlitz WebContainers. It gives AI models control over the filesystem, Node.js server, package manager, terminal, and browser console to handle the entire app lifecycle from creation to deployment.

## Use cases
- build a full-stack web app by chatting with AI
- prototype a SaaS application without local setup
- generate and deploy a website from a text prompt
- scaffold a Next.js or Astro project via AI prompts
- run npm packages and Node servers in the browser
- self-host my own AI coding agent using the Bolt codebase
- quickly turn a Figma design or idea into a working app

## When to choose
- you want to build or prototype full-stack web apps without installing anything locally
- you need an AI agent that can install packages, run backends, and deploy, not just generate code
- you want to fork an open-source codebase to build your own AI-powered dev tool on WebContainers
- you prefer prompting over hand-coding for scaffolding and iteration

## When to avoid
- you need fine-grained manual control over a large existing codebase rather than AI-driven generation
- you work outside the JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem
- you require offline development or have strict data-privacy constraints on cloud AI models
- you need guaranteed token costs, since heavy usage requires paid plans
