BOLT.NEW — Your AI-Powered Design Co-Founder
Welcome to AI Brews — where we decode the AI tools the internet is buzzing about, one sip at a time. If you’re tired of drowning in Twitter threads and YouTube explainers, this is your no-nonsense cheat sheet.
Today, let’s talk about a tool that makes app design feel more like chatting with a friend than opening Figma.
BOLT is a new AI tool that feels like a creative partner. Instead of obsessing over fonts or trying to align boxes, you just describe what you want — and BOLT builds out product concepts, branding, and full UI flows based on your idea.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between a blank Figma file and a looming deadline, BOLT might be your escape hatch.
The Real Story: From Idea to MVP (Not Just UI)
Let’s say you want to launch a startup around neighborhood carpooling. You want a simple MVP: users log in, create or join carpools, set pickup times, and get notifications.
You open BOLT and type:
“A mobile-first MVP for organizing carpools in urban neighborhoods. Users should be able to sign up, create a carpool group, set routes and timings, and send reminders.”
Within minutes, BOLT provides:
- App name and logo
- A full user flow: login → create/join carpool → set route → reminders
- Suggested backend logic: database structure for carpools, user roles (driver/passenger)
- A clickable prototype with screens and transitions
The result? A fully visual MVP you can test, validate with users, and even hand off to a developer to build further.
What Makes BOLT Different?
- Everything, Everywhere, All at Once – BOLT doesn’t just give you UI; it offers naming, branding, flows, and design reasoning.
- Prompt-to-MVP – Entire user journeys and backend suggestions from a single prompt.
- Share & Collaborate – You can share prototypes or get feedback without downloading anything.
- Built for Early-Stage Founders – Think of it as your MVP buddy — fast, visual, and collaborative.
Does It Cost Anything?
BOLT currently offers a free trial that gives you:
- A limited number of full UI prototypes
- Export to Figma
- Branding assets
After that, it moves to a subscription model. There's no INR-specific pricing announced yet.
Final Thoughts
In an era where ideas are cheap but execution is everything, tools like BOLT help you skip the “blank canvas” anxiety. If you’ve got a napkin sketch or a fleeting idea, BOLT turns it into something visual and shareable — fast.
Because the question is no longer “How do I get started?” It’s “What’s stopping me?” BOLT clears the way.
