Overview
Bolt.new is an in-browser AI development environment built on StackBlitz’s WebContainer technology. It enables full Node.js execution client-side, allowing AI models to install npm packages, run servers, and execute code in a single browser tab without local setup.
How It Works
1. User prompts the agent or uploads Figma/GitHub assets. 2. WebContainers boot an isolated Node.js environment in browser memory. 3. AI agent installs npm dependencies and writes code. 4. Application executes live in preview with one-click deployment.
