I've hired over 100 people in my career and nobody has ever quit my team. I don't know if that's luck or not. But when I'm interviewing, I've always looked for low ego, high credibility. I think people stay when they see you actually care about where they're going, not just what they can do for you right now. If this resonates with you, I'm hiring nine roles right now at bolt.new. If you know someone who would be a fit, tag them below!

Introducing Design System Agents. Turn your repos, npm packages and docs into an agent that builds prototypes engineering can actually ship. The Prototype is t̶h̶r̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶a̶w̶a̶y̶ the Product.

A customer of ours just changed the title of all PMs on their team Everyone now is a “Product Maker” Because w/ Bolt they’re not managing products anymore, they’re building them directly The prototype is the product

"You need to talk with more users" - heard it before? Connecting @meetgranola to @boltdotnew is hands-down THE FASTEST WAY I have ever implemented user feedback into a product 🏎️ Here's how 👇

#PIDay is coming up this Saturday. Together with @AnthropicAI, we’re giving all @boltdotnew Pro and Teams users free credits for the entire day, starting at 3:14 am PT on 3/14. It’s an infinity of tokens (for 24 hours). Build something new on #PIDay and submit your project to win $1000 in credits or some Bolt swag. Ready? Set? Bolt.

With Bolt, there's no throwaway prototype. You go from idea to production in one continuous workflow. Join Sales Engineer, Joe Keyes, as he walks through how smoothly you can go from prompt to production. No more stumbling blocks, only logical next steps. Live walkthrough + Q&A Wednesday, March 11 · 12pm PT Reserve your spot now.

Your company's context, now in Bolt. Introducing Connectors (MCP). Get started with Notion, Linear, GitHub, Miro, Sentry, and Jira. Connect once. Bolt reads, writes, and builds with your actual data. 🧵

Your images should move as fast as your code. Bolt can generate images now. Describe it → you're done. Transparent background built in. Optimized format out of the box. One less tab. One less export.

It might be time to clean up that AGENTS.md! I wrote a bit of a meta analysis which includes peer-reviewed research to explain some of the problems with AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md files.

We're teaming up with @Supabase to show how enterprise innovation teams are building real production software with AI. Join CEO @ericsimons to learn how we help non-technical teams prototype internal tools fast, work within existing design systems, and ship safely. Feb 25 | 7AM PST 👇

Bolt for Teams just leveled up. → Team templates → Security scans → External database support → Admin deploy controls → Model Persistence All live now 🧵

Claude Sonnet 4.6 just landed in Bolt. The most agentic Sonnet yet: plans multi-step features, parallelizes work, executes without hand-holding. Opus-class skill at a fraction of the cost. 48h promo: With Sonnet 4.6 only, Pro users get their monthly limit as a bonus. Free users get 2x limits.

You've built something great in Bolt. Next project, you duplicate it. Then the duplicate drifts. Two weeks later: five versions, zero consistency. We just fixed this.

Not gonna lie but Opus 4.6 Max is an absolute beast. No model could one shot a neutral net playground like this before 🤯 Impressive. 🔗 visual-backprop-play-4snm.bolt.host

Opus 4.6 is live in Bolt and it’s freaking amazing

The color of her bow tie tho… 🤔

Meet Indigo, our beloved Chief Barketing Officer Our employee of the day Thank you for your attention to this matter

Starting soon! Come hang out!

My current workflow for websites/landing pages and prototype apps is Claude Code -> Github -> Bolt. This is excellent for newbies to vibe coding. Throw a screenshot or image with a design language you like into a Claude project folder along with any other context, Have Claude Code build the app/site. Push the code to Github. Then open the project in @boltdotnew. I like Bolt over Lovable here because Bolt loads the code exactly as you built in Claude. Lovable, for some reason, doesn't maintain the design properly. You can also use Opus 4.5 in Bolt, and Bolt has a plan mode that is great for finding/suggesting anything you might have forgotten while working in Claude Code. Bolt also has a complete backend built in that makes testing apps easy at very low cost. Bolt also pushes updates back to Github automatically, and does a security screen to be sure the app/site is secure. You can then publish live to the web either with a bolt URL or your own domain very easily. Curious about @AlexFinn opinion on this.
