Building with bolt.new: An AI tool for faster development

The world of web development is constantly evolving. bolt.new is an AI tool that empowers developers to create functional web applications faster.

1. Generating the Code

By understanding our prompts, it generates code that forms the foundation of the web application.
Bolt UI

Also we can incorporate images to further guide the AI in understanding the desired application layout and user interface.

For Instance:-

(Getting the best results often requires careful crafting of prompts)

2. Deploying

This tool integrates seamlessly with Netlify, enabling one-click deployment directly from the platform.

3. Accessing the code

We can view and understand the AI-generated code, making it easier to learn and modify. The complete project files can be downloaded for further customization or self-hosting.

Conclusion

bolt.new is a powerful tool that can significantly accelerate web development. However, it's essential to be aware of its limitations. We may still need to debug and maintain the application. Understanding the generated code and identifying potential issues require coding knowledge.

While Bolt.new and other AI tools out there help you to progress faster but knowing what its generating and making the necessary changes yourself or with the right prompt is VERY essential for progression, otherwise you'd end up spending hours or burning tokens until you reach finished product
