Bolt
StackBlitz platform that generates apps via conversational prompts with React + Tailwind stack, in a browser VM. Competes with Lovable and V0.
Strengths
- Instant in-browser generation, no local install, no setup
- Import from Figma and GitHub possible
- Bolt Cloud to add backend, auth, hosting without leaving the environment
Limitations
- Code runs in a browser VM, not directly portable, requires GitHub export then manual Vercel/Netlify wiring
- Vendor lock-in on Bolt Cloud if you take the full stack
- No local code control during generation, prompt-only piloting
Best for
- Meeting prototypes with short lifespan (< 2 weeks)
- PMs/designers wanting to show a functional idea without dev
