Paying for broken code
Credit-based tools charge you whether the generation works or not. A failed prompt still costs you.
No idea what changed
Most tools apply AI changes silently. You only find out something broke after the fact.
AI forgets your project
Hit the context limit and the AI loses track of everything it built. You start explaining from scratch.
We built this because we felt this too.
Three steps from prompt to working code.
Choose your stack
Pick your AI provider, database, auth, and deployment. Your keys. Your infrastructure.
Describe what you want
Type a prompt. Watch code stream into a real Monaco editor. Review the diff before it applies.
Deploy live
One click to Vercel, Railway, Render, or Netlify. Or share a preview link instantly.
See it in action.
Watch a full app go from prompt to working preview.
Demo video coming soon
We're recording a full walkthrough — prompt to working preview in one take. Join the waitlist and we'll send you the link when it's live.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Bring Your Own API Key
Connect Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, or Mistral. Pay API rates directly — never our markup.
Diff View Before Apply
See exactly what the AI wants to change before it touches your code. Approve or discard.
Full Code Ownership
Export your entire project as a zip anytime. No hostage code. No lock-in. It's yours.
Smart + Flash Models
Routine edits auto-route to fast cheap models. Complex features use the best model available.
Share Preview Links
Get a public URL for your sandbox in one click. Share before you deploy. 2-hour live link.
Your Stack, Your Rules
Choose your own database, auth, and deploy provider. We generate code that fits your exact setup.

AI costs paid directly to your provider. Typical generation: ~$0.001 (Flash) to ~$0.02 (Smart).
Questions we get asked.
You only pay your AI provider's API cost — typically under $0.02. You never pay us for a failed generation. Our platform fee is a flat monthly subscription.
Yes — anytime, for any project. Click Export in the workspace to download a complete zip with all files, package.json, and a .env.example. No lock-in, ever.
Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), xAI (Grok), and Mistral. Each with Smart and Flash tiers.
No. 14-day free trial, no card required. You'll need an API key from your chosen AI provider.
Next.js 14, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. You choose your own database, auth, and deploy provider.
Flash models (Haiku, GPT-4o-mini, Codestral) handle routine edits quickly and cheaply. Smart models handle complex new features. We pick automatically, or you can override per prompt.
Yes on Pro and Teams plans. Connect a custom domain in the deployment settings after deploying.
Fair question — and honestly, if you need something today, use them. They're good tools. We're building for a different priority: you bring your own API key and pay your AI provider directly, so a failed generation costs you fractions of a cent rather than burning credits. You see every file change as a diff before it's applied. And you choose your AI provider — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, or Mistral — rather than being locked to one. If those tradeoffs matter to you, we think the wait is worth it. If they don't, Bolt.new is a solid choice right now.
