In-browser app builder
exployt vs Bolt.new
Bolt.new generates and runs full-stack web apps entirely inside your browser, then deploys them to the cloud. It is built for quick prototypes.
Different goals
Let one person build and maintain production-grade software with a team of AI agents, on their own machine.
Get a working web-app prototype running in the browser as fast as possible.
What you can expect with exployt
- Build serious, lasting software on real projects — not a browser prototype.
- Keep your code on your machine instead of a browser sandbox synced to the cloud.
- Use many AI providers and free local models, with a team of agents that manage each other.
- Debug for real (breakpoints and variables) and cut AI costs by up to 70%.
exployt vs Bolt.new — side by side
| What matters | exployt | Bolt.new |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Production-grade software on real projects | Quick browser prototypes |
| Where your code lives | On your machine (local DB; only metadata syncs) | Inside your browser tab (WebContainers), synced to the cloud |
| AI providers | Claude, GPT, Gemini, xAI + hundreds via OpenRouter + free local (Ollama) | Hosted Bolt is Claude only (multi-model only in the separate open-source bolt.diy fork) |
| Free local / offline models | Yes (Ollama) | No (only in the bolt.diy fork) |
| AI agents in parallel | 100+ agents in parallel across your projects | One single agent per project |
| AI managers running the team | Yes — AI managers (CPO/CTO/PM) run the team | No |
| Works on your existing codebase | Yes — improves and debugs your real, existing projects | GitHub import into a browser sandbox |
| Real debugging | Real breakpoints, live variables, call stack, step-through | Browser console; no breakpoints |
| Persistent searchable memory | Persistent, searchable (keyword + meaning) local memory | Per-project context |
| AI cost control | Up to 70% lower AI costs; bring your own keys or run free local models | Token-based usage |
| Zero setup | Installs a desktop app | Nothing to install — runs in the browser |
| Pricing | Free for individuals; affordable plans | Free (1M tokens/mo); Pro $25/mo |
Why exployt wins
- A real, local-first tool for building and maintaining production software — not an in-browser sandbox.
- Many providers side by side including free local models, with a team of agents that manage each other.
- Real breakpoint debugging, persistent memory and full transparency, plus up to 70% lower AI costs.
Where Bolt.new is strong
- Zero setup — a full stack runs in your browser instantly.
- Great for quick prototypes, demos and one-click deploys.
- A smooth path from chat into a real in-browser editor.
The verdict
Bolt is great for a quick in-browser prototype. exployt is built for real, ongoing software on your own machine: many providers, free local models, a self-managing agent team and IDE-level debugging.
Frequently asked questions
Is exployt a good Bolt.new alternative?
For real, ongoing projects, yes. Bolt is ideal for quick in-browser prototypes; exployt runs on your machine with many AI providers, a team of agents and real debugging.
Where does Bolt.new run my code?
Bolt runs your app inside your browser tab and syncs it to the cloud. exployt keeps your code in a local database on your machine.
Can hosted Bolt use models other than Claude?
Hosted Bolt is Claude-based; multiple models and local support exist only in the separate open-source bolt.diy fork. exployt supports many providers plus free local Ollama out of the box.
Ready to lead your AI army?
exployt exists to make one person as powerful as a whole company: run many well-organized AI agents in parallel to build, test and debug production-grade software — all on your own machine, with your choice of AI models.
