Bolt.new Tutorial for Beginners (the Cursor AI and V0 Killer)

[@GregIsenberg]

RAS MIC IS BACK , NOT A NEW CHARACTER BUT A WONDERFUL CHARACTER - YOU ASKED FOR A BOLT TUTORIAL SO WE DID IT. I GUESS COMMENT/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN TO BUILD YOUR IDEAS / SPREAD THE LOVE

[@AnthonyCandaele]

I use Bolt.new in conjunction with Cursor AI. I asked Bolt.new to implement my Figma files, and once it is implemented I copy paste it to my Cursor AI editor and keep refining it. I have the impressing that Bolt.new has a better overview on the whole project than Cursor AI.

[@NDIZITV]

I am 125% non technical and my MVP is almost ready. Done with UI/UX design with the help of bolt.new on the recommendation of Micky. Now learning basics of database set up and integration. Once I get that done right, we on the road baby. Cant wait. 🎉🎉. Thanks Greg for spreading the knowledge.

[@sandogammy766]

How did you use bolt.new for UI/UX?

[@stanford19]

In the same boat my friend. I am using Supabase for my database and backend needs and there is a bit to learn, my goodness

[@AmanFangeria]

If you want any help with the db. I can happily do it. I struggle with ui/ux but I am wonderful with logic. I figure out almost everything

[@mastermedicalterms]

Can bolt create its own databases?

[@louisscott4376]

​@mastermedicalterms it does for testing purpose . Last time i did was cloned gmail and it worked fine.

[@relaxingsoothingsleepzone]

This really is the future, i have managed to build my easy to follow regiment and it is avaibale in different laungues. I wish bolt was here 5 years ago lol

[@Ed-xv4sy]

I love that Greg brought on Ras! I'm building an app as we speak for free. For starters, I have ZERO coding experience, ZERO tech experience and if I didn't run out of my 'free tokens' I would've had the app built last night.

[@Utoko]

I think the only adv is that it runs online for people not wanting to install stuff. This doesn't seem like a killer product at all. tbh. It is more limiting not able to use on your local projects. Each hype cycle the hype words are getting worse. You want to stay up to date but you waste so much time on bad headline and bad intros.

[@PokeFangOfficial]

The biggest issue I've been struggling with since getting into no code development, has been the backend side of things. My app called for user data storage, web hooks, and APIs. I know how get keys etc... but when building using these tools like Claude or v0, What I end up with is a feedback loop where the Ai doesn't;t understand how to build the app without the data or content to build it for. I've yet to find a good beginner video on how to set up backends for these apps, recommendations welcome. 🙏

[@1voice4all]

The advantage of Bolt over cursor is that it provides infra as well. You just need to have internet connection and a device, you can use your phone as well.

[@udaankhatola88]

I am non tech guy Greg & Ryan and thanks for making this Pod. I have been fiddling with Cursor and V0. From the last 2 days have been playing with Bolt. This thing is mind blowing

[@etiennejulius1179]

Thanks for the raw, unedited honesty. 🙏🍻🍻

[@aikonmishima7945]

There’s only a few people in the world I would trust to build something with passion. One of em is Ras. Good job buddy.

[@wtcbd01]

Really like that you show the families and how to keep trying to get it to work. Thanks

[@LisaColeCMO]

I loved this video so much I finally decided to build an idea I’ve had. Unfortunately I just spent 12 hours (and $50) going around in circles with Bolt solving the same two problems in circular motion, even with using Claude to guide my discussions. 😢

[@mrrobot724]

yeah same bolt is garbage

[@randomname9758]

Blows my mind how things are advancing so fast.

[@NeurodivergentTM]

Thank you for a great video. You can actually download the project and run it through an LLM or work on it in Cursor or similar. Perhaps this feature wasn't ready at the time you made the video.

[@GermanRodriguezqndq]

Awesome tutorial! 🎉 Love how you break it down for beginners-makes prototyping feel so achievable! Thanks for sharing, guys!✨

[@AndersNøhrHolmstrøm]

Ras is my favourite guest 🔥

[@ArtKrishnamurti]

I would hope you don’t become like all these 19 year olds chasing hype trains and advertising today’s new “game changer” product. You’ve got so much more value to offer man! I get the click bait works, but only short term. I’d say stay away from cool new tools and products and remain focused on the new paradigm this tech is opening up and how that influences business/product ideation. 🎉

[@GregIsenberg]

this was a highly requested video. Will do more idea/tutorials on ideation. They are coming up!

[@VaibhavShewale]

i have seen some developers who have no coding idea but using cursor and gpt to create the saas project and making money! bolt would help them more faster now

[@AaronBlox-h2t]

COOL...what did they build?

[@canastasio29]

Thx Greg, loved the episode!

[@IntelligentArtAI]

This is the video that will kick off my journey as a non dev founder. I am building an mvp for my app idea

[@georgemontgomery1892]

Same, have fun! The best advice I have is to at least know the basics, just in case the A.I. gets hard stuck. You'll have an idea where to look.

[@AaronBlox-h2t]

Hey... Send me your app info and lets talk. Maybe meet in person down the road in Philippines. And by the way, I'm taller (6 foot 1 inch) than 90% of total American males.

[@jermainepowell298]

Just signed up with Cursor and have been trying to develop a product, good in some sense, main issue it deletes a lot of its own code, you have to constantly tell it to enhance what you have, this mainly happens when using the composer

[@chrisholland6366]

It seems like a lot of these tools are good for building basic frontend prototypes. Getting started and ideas going. But I can't imagine this actually being used for anything more complicated as of now.

[@AmineKonvert]

I built some insane stuff in a couple of minutes with it. You are 100% wrong

[@stephencie]

@@AmineKonvert "insane stuff in a couple of minutes", come on bro what is your definition of insane stuff? Must be a few requirements maximum

Sometimes i'm not sure how Greg has time to put out so many lengthy videos but i'm all here for it. so much great information. Your channel was one of the high quality ones i found. I only start getting into coding/app development/saas a week ago. All your information is helping me bring my idea to reality, so thanks!!

[@daryljones1191]

This is probably for very simple apps. Nothing I have prompted worked. Absolutely nothing. But i do love applications like this. Hopefully it will get better in the future

[@AaronBlox-h2t]

Spend a few months learning to code then BEND IT TO YOUR WILL....

[@morena-jackson]

Great content, love Ras Mic

[@proinsiasmatthews6927]

I think bolt is really going to change how apps are developed. You can take an idea and get a very good mvp created in such a short space of time. The issue I'm finding with bolt though is that when you are working on the app for a few days, you spend more time reminding the tool what the feature should have been in the first place, even when you've spent a long time ensuring you've specified user flows and features in the first place. Is it possible to have a "feature reference" file that the tool can refer to when you ask it to implement a feature that was on the original plan for the app but it couldn't code out because of token limits? Also, DIFF will make this 1000% times better.

[@gigawerx]

This was really good thanks for the walk through !! good stuff!!

[@Jre-nomad]

I found this tool is what I've been searching for. Love it thanks guys. just subscribed to ras mic.

[@mrodrod9553]

Would love to see a follow up video once some of the bugs and workflow complications have been resolved.

As usual great pod. Question for Ras or may be idea for next pod: Teach us on Building auth/login system with AI, and integrating some payment gateway like Paypal/stripe with AI)

The real time joy when he got it to work. That was priceless.😁

[@shencao4678]

I really love this video! Thanks so much! Start to follow both of you since the last video with introduction of Cursor Ai. I have zero knowledge of programming. Finding it hard to use Cursor Ai, do you have any advice for someone like me to start to learn some basic programing skills or knowledges in order to utilize Cursor Ai. Thank so much.

[@Wodawic]

Great stuff as always Greg. +100. And I can't say this for other AI content channels, but your ADS are actually worthy of watching.

[@janhejkal2319]

Great podcast. This tools are awesome. Do you have video how to monetize those MVP made by AI to see if there is an interest?

[@Zafar_Kahn]

Wow. This is history in making

[@mrpocock]

It half worked for me. I was able to sketch an app, but it quickly got to the point where adding a new feature would cause it to forget an existing one.

[@fordgoesfishing]

Hot take - Cursor was probably used in the construction of Bolt. Bolt will probably be used to create the next generation of app dev ai. This for me is the most mind blowing thing.

[@ohdearitsmandy]

Great insights! Learned so much! Plus: nice conversation as well 🙂 I'm a newbie and learning every day! Those tools are so much fun. I've been trying out replit, then cursor and now bolt 🙂 Keep up the good work! Really helpful content!

When you deploy your program, how do you hide the API key to keep other people from using it?

[@vichetkim5533]

I wish these guys mentioned that there was a limited number of tokens pertaining to the number of questions somebody who is trialling the product is allowed. There were too many bugs created by Bolt, including the inability to start the completed code.

[@WayneAtkinsonEntrepreneur]

I like bolt, but it’s annoying how much it breaks what was working. It’s 1 step forward 2 steps back. I spent far too long on an easy screen as it kept breaking what was working. Frustrating but exciting too. I’m a long time 38 year developer and I can see the benefits especially for already developers.

[@awakenwithoutcoffee]

have you tried Cursor-AI ? it has been an incredible developer experience so far.

[@bluecaribbeanstore]

Awesomeness ☝🏼❤️🤩😎💯

[@mihir1690]

Greg, how did you first come across Bolt? Where did they initially publish the product to get so many testers, and how did they market it? Also, what does it take to build something like this in terms of cost? How much capital do you need before seeking funding that gets investors excited? Would love to see a step-by-step video on launching a product like this! Thank you 😃 P.S : I'm a non technical guy. I'll Like to understand how would someone implement it from idea to launch.

[@brianWreaves]

🏆 Cheers for sharing!

[@telegrphavenuetv]

It keeps failing to install dependencies on mine and I'm not able to see output. Any suggestions?

[@aiamfree]

I started using my customgpt to interact with github now I just let chatgpt do everything, keeping costs capped at the monthly pro subscription. Thats a W, no?

[@freelancellc]

You guys paired up works great gang. I'm really enjoying bolt and trying to test what it is good at and what it isn't. It has a great future if it keeps going this direction.

Hi @Greg Isenberg, How do we expose it to external ip and also i want to know if you have any idea if the same is available for k8s with Nvidia. Thanks

[@larrylewis6968]

So then @gregisenberg and Ras Mif, once I’m done the prototype on Replit or Bolt, how do I transfer to Cursor to build the actual full app? Also Greg, Devin (AI Engineer), is also mind blowing. I have built a couple of projects. I would love to come on your show and show Devin and why it’s one of the best, if not the best, AI Engineer platforms out there!

[@Jonesrful]

Heck yes. Big sips on this one.

[@IanFernando]

is there a way to automatically load this on your server then work on it via ftp?

[@yuyuthemaker6716]

@gosh2002 once in Stackblitz, go to the menu button on the top left side, open it and click "Collections". You will find your projects from Bolt there. Hope that helps!

[@РаминРодионов]

Thank you very much!

[@jamesrowdy]

i love these episodes, these are birthing the next generation of indie hackers. incredible work boys!

[@nasiffuad292]

It will also make indie hacking dead because if everybody can build solution that you are offering with your AI builded SaaS, then why would people buy from you? People can built your solution with AI and use it for themselves. Simple as that Mediocre SaaS will be gone in few years. People will only buy complex softwares that has good security and architecture like Photoshop, Adobe XD, Figma etc

[@15nate]

I’m getting the same issues trying to deploy. Once you export the code into Cursor, is there an easy way to edit the files and dependencies via prompt engineering while in cursor?

[@Calgary-Real-Estate-Agent]

I’ve tested five sites and spent a few hours on bolt, no coding experience professionally but general understanding and nothing said in this vid didn’t make sense. I have had. Similar experience on bolt, its done a few good iterations and then falls off, riddled with errors, I admittedly have tested more surface level across multiple ideas to see its abilities but this far only one promising outcome.

[@mixedrealitycreators]

I built this idea just with cursor for my own flux implementation using flux’s own API and nextjs.

[@ottokomabonny3624]

Do the apps built remain the property of Bolt?

[@memepapi]

Great episode

[@theaccountantguy]

Hi guys it is an awesome demo. Really appreciate everything that you put up for us. I have one simple question, how do we link a python code from the backend onto a next js react framework onto the front end. Is it possible? I tried to do the same, but the same isn't helping out

[@stevenrivadeneira5691]

Besides cursor is there any other one you recommend for backend code for non web app

[@ramo4uuuu]

Which AI model ist Bolt.new using ? Claude 3.5 ?

[@zacki5663]

unfortunately bolt is not much. its just a single prompt over suannet. it benefits from a very good starting prompt and REPL (stackbkitz)and then you’re getting what you’d normally get from a chat prompt. There is no code graph or understanding of your codebase like cursor. It’s basically a big hack on top of a prompt and no caching. Its one novel approach is using GNU change format like git for its tool calls it makes to update code which keeps the context window small. However that is also its weakness as it will hallucinate hard trying to update multiple areas in the code

[@mindbuildingmusic]

You should link his socials and the tool URL, somewhere in the description I think

Potential deal breakers. No access to versioning, such as Git, and no way to download the generated source code.
