Bolt Cloud hosts the preview; a kit is the repo Cursor keeps editing

UpdatedSeptember 11, 2026

Bolt.new is an AI chat builder that turns prompts into apps, websites, and prototypes — and Bolt Cloud is the part that makes the loop feel complete. Hosting, domains, databases, authentication, file storage, server functions, analytics, and Stripe-paired payments sit inside the same workspace. You can start from a blank chat, Figma, GitHub, or a team template; Bolt Agent routes models for the task; and the product markets automatic test/refactor cycles that cut down on broken generations.

That package is impressive for PMs, entrepreneurs, marketers, agencies, and students who want a live URL without assembling a DevOps stack first. This article is the own-blog decision post for the sandboxed-agent catalog row labeled Bolt — not a UI /compare page.

This is an excerpt. Read the full post at otf-kit.dev/blog/otf-vs-bolt — full-stack kits your AI coding agent can actually ship to production. Browse the kits →
