# Bolt

Tool · [Standard tools and platforms](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/tools)

Also called: bolt.new, Bolt.new, StackBlitz Bolt

StackBlitz's [AI app builder](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/no-code) at bolt.new. A person describes a [web app](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/web-app-mobile-app), and Bolt writes, runs and edits it in the [browser](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/web-browser), with tools for publishing it. Its official guide says you can ask for [shadcn/ui](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/shadcn-ui) when starting a project so it builds with those components.

**For example:** A [founder](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder) asks Bolt to build a booking [prototype](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/prototype) with [shadcn/ui](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/shadcn-ui) buttons and forms, then [checks](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/automated-check) the working screens before showing them to a customer.
