Say Goodbye to Cursor AI, ChatGPT, Claude and v0 | Bolt.new Does it All

The video introduces "Bolts," a new AI coding software that integrates various coding tools into a single platform, aiming to revolutionize coding by automating tasks like installing packages, running servers, and deploying projects. The presenter demonstrates Bolts' capabilities by generating a real estate website using Next.js and Tailwind CSS, highlighting its code editor and terminal features that resemble VS Code with AI enhancements. Despite some setup difficulties and minor issues with pagination and image loading, the presenter is impressed by Bolts' potential to streamline coding processes, although concerns about code ownership and deployment remain.

• Bolts is a new AI project designed to replace existing coding software by combining multiple AI coding tools into a single platform.
• The software allows users to install packages, run backend processes, edit code, and interact with third-party APIs.
• Bolts supports running Node.js servers, deploying production code from chats, and sharing work via URL.

"This AI could replace all of the softwares out there when it comes to coding and it's called Bolts. New now this is a relatively new project that I've recently stumbled upon that essentially is a combination of other AI coding softwares out there but is all combined into one."

• Bolts is positioned as a comprehensive tool that integrates various AI coding functionalities into one platform, potentially replacing other individual software tools.

• Bolts showcases a code editor similar to popular AI prompt tools, with an interface akin to VS Code but enhanced with AI capabilities.
• The platform includes a terminal for executing commands necessary for projects, such as running Next.js applications.
• Users can write code using simple prompts to generate applications, like a real estate website using Next.js and Tailwind CSS.

"It showcases that it allows you to install run npm tools Etc run node.js servers interact with third party apis deploy your production from chats and then share your work via URL."

• Bolts offers a comprehensive suite of features for coding, including package management, server operations, API interactions, and deployment capabilities.

• Initial setup and account creation on Bolts can be challenging due to a complicated sign-in process.
• The interface includes a preview feature that allows users to see the output of their code in real-time without needing to manually navigate to a localhost URL.
• The code editor is designed to resemble a familiar coding environment but with added AI-driven enhancements for ease of use.

"The first thing is one it showcases a code editor so comparing this to Chad GPT this is kind of like canvas except it doesn't have the option to Showcase like different uh files and pages in terms of cursor it's clearly obviously cursor is basically like vs code except with AI."
