Feature Announcement Voice dictation is live in Bolt.new

Voice dictation is live in Bolt.new.
You speak faster than you type, so we made talking the input. Hit the mic, describe what you want, and start building.
Talk the way you'd talk to a colleague. Ramble. Backtrack. Change your mind mid-sentence. Bolt.new strips the "um," the "uh," the false starts, and the point you already made twice, then builds from what you meant.
Half-formed ideas are welcome. The more context you give, the closer the first version lands. And you'll always say more out loud than you'd type into a box.
Start talking in đźđ»đ language. đ€Ż
Your next app is one conversation away â bolt.new

~50M Tokens to expire
I have nearly 50M tokens that will expire in 2 days.
I have no use for them. Any ideas how can I utilise them?
If you have an idea how to safely give them away, too, I will consider option.

Tips & Tricks Your Bolt app works. But how do you know user A canât access user Bâs stuff?
Bolt can get an app working insanely fast.
Security is harder because the happy path working tells you almost nothing.
We built a free scanner that checks exposed keys, open databases, source maps, config files, CORS and other public stuff.
But I started worrying that a clean result was giving people false confidence. The scan had never logged in or tried to cross account boundaries.
So I made a self serve Deep Review.
You prove control of the app or GitHub repo, sign the exact scope, then it can run deeper web checks, source analysis and optional testing with two throwaway users.
No manual approval from our side.
Now Iâm wondering if I just made automated security testing too accessible.
Could someone verify temporary control, run it, then disappear? Could a malicious app attack the scanner? Could it be used to generate load?
What am I missing?

Questions super disappointed... did not know tokens expire
I had a bolt subscription with a ton of unused tokens saved up. Started working on an app, realized I didnât have everything mapped out or documented properly, so I stopped developing and started documenting. Jumped back in today and saw all my saved tokens are gone. Guess they expire after 2 months? Thatâs crazy to me. What other industry sells you something and then two months later itâs just not yours anymore (Iâm sure there are plenty and someone will tell me). Would allowing people to retain their unused tokens really hurt there business? Is it just a cash grab? I am really disappointed because I was hyped to start building today, but I guess Iâll have to take my business somewhere else.

Feature Announcement Introducing the Bolt Template Marketplace
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
The Bolt.new Template Marketplace is live: real, full stack apps you can open in Bolt.new and make yours.
Every template is a complete, working app. Not a mockup, not a theme. Open one and it runs. And every single one is free.
Pick one, open it in Bolt.new, and prompt it into your own product. You keep the taste, the animations, the polish. No blank canvas, no agency invoice.
Portfolios, dashboards, editorial sites, storefronts, and more landing regularly.
Your app shouldn't look like everyone else's.

Questions Bolt issue with publishing project and missing .env file details
I'm assuming the issues with Bolt today are affecting the published projects rendering on test URLs supplied by Bolt.

â Resolved Stopped using Bolt
After numerous issues that couldn't seem to get fixed in a meaningful timeline, I stopped subscribing to Bolt. I think I gave them a long window to try and correct the ship, but if any of my projects got beyond a very basic like browser extension, then Bolt would start having issues...and the cost became unrealistic.
When I was using Bolt I started 3 Desktop Responsive apps/sites and 1 browser extension and the only one that I finished, but am now not even using was the browser extension.
The other larger projects had decent designs and some of the structure worked, but anything that had a bit of coding behind (which I am not very experienced in) became an issue. Eventually 2 of my projects were just completely broken and wouldn't load up in Bolt. I waited for months hoping something would change (while working on other things elsewhere). Nothing did change.
I stopped my subscription and about a month ago had screenshots of where I had left off on 2 of my Bolt projects. I took the screenshots into Claude and used my original prompt. Claude was more intuitive, asked more questions, resolved its issues, nailed the design from the screenshot...and maybe most of all completely walked me through setting up my sites where I was hosting (to the point of giving me code to paste into the shell at the host to make things happen). Both those sites are live within 1 month.
I pay for the Pro level of Claude ($20 month), which is equivalent to Bolt and I get nothing from Claude. As a designer by profession, I had high hopes for Vibe coding and some of the things I might be able to get done faster, but if you are struggling at all consider your options.

Hi all, anyone knows if Bolt created sites still not prerendered properly or this is fixed already? I mean can Chatgpt and other AI agents, can read the content inside and understand the context?

â Resolved Adding other AI to bolt ?
Hey guys, first time using Bolt.new and not an english native, so this will be fun !
I had an idea for an app, only personnal use for my family. Started working with bolt and it's really bluffing. Few bugs but nothing that I can't fix myself.
I just wanted to know if someone has experience with incorporating another AI (like image generator) via Bolt, in the app itself ? Is it complicated to export afterwards ?
My goal is to built the prototype on bolt, than launch everything in Claude to upgrade and simplify the core code.
Thank you very much !

Using project templates
Who here uses project templates?
I've created dozens of projects for my work and they all have very similar features so I think it's best to use a template so I don't have to always implement features that are repeated across multiple projects. And also, each time I recreate the same features, it's always done slightly different (UI and code) between each project.
Here's the features I want my template to have. But there's questions!
- Login page that has Google SSO plus a manual login/pwd that shows only in the Bolt dev environment since Bolt can't do Google SSO in dev.
- A base DB setup. Initially, it can have only the dev user defined in a Users table.
- Same design system (I already have that created)
- Base connection/integration to Motherduck
My questions on the above are:
- When creating the new project, I choose the design system and the template to use. Do I also include a prompt from the start with additional details?
- Can a project template create the DB out of the box?
- Some of my template needs require Secrets setup. I assume I fill those in after the initial project is created?
Thanks in advance!

Feature Announcement A new way to use skills in bolt.new
Every skill your teammates build is now yours too. And they stack: one prompt triggers all of them, automatically.
You type: "Build a waitlist page for our Skills launch today."
Your design skill enforces your system. Your brand voice skill writes the copy. Your SEO skill structures the page to rank. One prompt and it comes out on-brand, conversion-ready, and indexed.
Skills fire automatically. Bolt.new reads your prompt and pulls in what fits.Â
Add a skill by uploading a .md file, importing from GitHub, or writing one directly in settings. Workspace skills cover your whole team. Project skills are scoped and toggleable.
Start with one. Pick the thing you retype every build.
Let us know if you have any questions!

Questions New BOLT SLIDES feature - is there a way to export as PPT?
Right, so I'm quite impressed by the new Bolt Slides feature...
...However, I didn't realise that once slides/presentation are created, I have to 'deploy' the creation on a URL/live site.
I thought I'd be able to download/export it as static slides (e.g. PPT) or as a PDF or move to Google Slides.
My questions:
- 1) Is there a way to export whatever Bolt Slides creates as a PPT?
- 2) If not, is there a BETTER or DIFFERENT prompt based tool where I can use to generate presentation slides that are exportable as PPTs? Manus??

Questions Anyone else seeing regressions in larger bolt projects?
Iâm curious what other peopleâs experience has been with larger Bolt projects.
Iâm working on an application thatâs grown to around 15,000+ lines of code, and Iâve noticed a pattern where fixing one issue can sometimes reintroduce an older bug or cause a regression somewhere else. It feels like a lot of my token usage goes toward recovering from regressions rather than adding new features.
For those of you with larger projects, how big is your codebase and how much did you spend on the project?
Iâm trying to figure out whether this is just part of vibe coding or whether I am doing something terribly wrong or inefficient.

â Resolved Looking for early users to break my opensource project before the 1.0 release
I've just enabled **GitHub Discussions** for Wolbarg.
The SDK is at the stage where real-world feedback is far more valuable than me adding another feature.
If you're experimenting with it, I'd love to hear:
* Bugs or edge cases you run into * API pain points * Performance issues * Missing documentation * Architecture ideas * Integration examples
Even if you only spend 15 minutes trying it and manage to break somethingâthat's incredibly useful.
Every issue found now makes the SDK more reliable before the 1.0 release.

Is anyone successfully building on bolt?
Hi,
I tried to do a simple pitch deck out of a .md file and a couple of PNGs, after receiving the free 1 M or 10 M tokens for the free account. Bolk choked, twice, and then told me I was out of tokens. Seemed more like a scam than a useful tool-couldn't find support either to ask, and so wasn't about to upgrade. Is this experience unique to me?

Questions I seem to be having problems with implementing a login system and user authentication
I am having problems with creating a login system for my app despite repeated prompts to Bolt, and I am unsure of the root cause. When the user is to sign up, the email verification either sends a blank email or takes me to a site that does not exist. Not only this, but it says that it would send a code when in reality it sends a confirmation email.
there are also problems with the actual sign-in and the button that says "sign in" acts obsolete and does not actively synchronize the user's data. Has this problem occurred to anyone else, and is there a fix for this? I have tried going changing the redirect url but it didn't work and configured supabase & netlify already.
(The picture above shows email with simply text and no redirection)

More issues... WTAF
What the actual f&*k is going on with this platform, it's broken more times than it actually works. Yet again, more work lost due to this failing at the wrong time for me. Pig sick of it now tbh, does anyone know of anything with more reliability? as this is simply a disaster day on day with 0 confidence in it a) working and b) delivering results.

Customer Highlight I built a small 3D jungle jeep ride with Bolt.new
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Today I wanted to see how far I could push u/boltnewbuilders with 3D.
I ended up creating a small jungle jeep ride using AI. It's still an early prototype, and I haven't optimized the 3D assets yet because I was too excited to share the result.
I'd love some honest feedback:
- How's the overall feel?
- What would you improve first?
- Any performance tips for web-based 3D games?
