In-browser AI-powered development agent to prompt, run, edit, and deploy full‑stack websites, apps and prototypes without local setup.

Key features

  • Prompt-Driven Development: Use natural-language prompts to generate, modify, and extend full‑stack application code, accelerating iteration from idea to running prototype.
  • In-Browser Runtime (WebContainers): Run backend and frontend code directly in the browser via StackBlitz WebContainers, eliminating local setup and ensuring generated projects execute immediately.
  • Edit and Live-Preview: Interactive editing of generated code with immediate live previews so developers can refine UI, logic, and configuration in real time.
  • One-Click Deployments: Deploy projects created in Bolt to run on StackBlitz infrastructure (or compatible StackBlitz runtimes) with minimal configuration.
  • Token & Project Management: Built-in usage controls for AI tokens and project visibility, including paid subscription options to increase token allowances and enable private projects.
  • Open-Source DIY Variant: bolt.diy lets users self-host or run an open-source version that permits selecting the LLM for each prompt for customization and privacy.
  • Seamless StackBlitz Compatibility: Any project that runs on StackBlitz will run on Bolt.new, enabling reuse of StackBlitz templates, examples, and ecosystems.
  • Prompt-driven generation of full-stack applications and prototypes
  • In-browser runtime and editing powered by StackBlitz WebContainers (no local setup)
  • Run, test, and iterate on generated code immediately in the browser
  • Deploy full-stack applications from the browser
  • Paid subscription option for additional AI tokens and private projects
  • Open-source variant (bolt.diy) enabling selection of custom LLMs per prompt
  • Seamless compatibility with projects that run on StackBlitz

Best for

  • Rapid Prototyping: Quickly generate and iterate on web app prototypes by prompting Bolt to scaffold frontend and backend code and preview instant results in the browser.
  • Full-Stack Development Without Setup: Build, test, and run full‑stack applications in environments where installing local toolchains is impractical (e.g., workshops, classrooms, demos).
  • Demo and Portfolio Deployments: Create and deploy interactive demos or portfolio projects quickly for stakeholder reviews or user testing without managing servers.
  • Custom LLM Workflows (bolt.diy): Teams that require specific LLMs or on‑premise models can use the open-source bolt.diy to route prompts to chosen models and preserve data control.
  • Learning and Teaching: Instructors and learners can use Bolt to demonstrate full‑stack concepts, generate example code, and explore modifications live during lessons.
  • Accelerating Feature Development: Developers can use Bolt to scaffold features, generate boilerplate, and then refine the generated code manually to speed up development cycles.
  • Rapid prototyping of web apps and front-to-back demos directly in the browser
  • Learning and teaching web development with immediate runnable examples
  • Building and iterating on UI/UX prototypes without local environment setup
  • Generating starting codebases or feature scaffolds using natural language prompts
  • Creating private projects and increasing AI usage via paid subscription

Page Agent

Alibaba

Free

Page Agent is an open-source in-page GUI agent — a single JavaScript library gives any web page its own AI agent, no extension or backend needed.

Key features

  • In-Page GUI Agent: A single JavaScript include gives any web page its own AI agent that lives inside the page, with no extension or backend required.
  • Text-Based DOM Manipulation: Operates on the DOM through text — no screenshots or multi-modal LLMs, so it's lightweight and privacy-friendlier.
  • Bring Your Own LLM: Works with most mainstream models and locally-deployed LLMs so teams stay in control of prompts and data.
  • Optional Chrome Extension: A companion Chrome extension lifts the agent out of a single page so it can drive multi-page tasks and cross-tab workflows.
  • MCP Server (Beta): An included Model Context Protocol server lets external agents connect and control Page Agent from outside the browser tab.
  • Ships as an npm Package: Distributed as `page-agent` under an MIT license with TypeScript typings and a small bundle size.

Best for

  • SaaS AI Copilot: Ship an in-product AI copilot in an existing SaaS web app without building a browser extension or backend agent.
  • Onboarding & Guided Tours: Have the agent walk new users through the UI step-by-step, interacting with the real DOM.
  • Web Automation: Automate repetitive DOM tasks (form fill, data extraction, batch updates) driven by natural-language instructions.
  • Multi-Page Workflows: Combine with the Chrome extension to drive workflows that span multiple tabs and origins.
  • Agent Orchestration via MCP: Let external agent frameworks control a live web page through the MCP server for testing or automation.
