Bolt and Netlify have officially crossed the one-million mark for AI-generated websites—and they did it in less than half a year. From November 2024 to March 2025, users launched more than one million AI-built sites using Bolt’s code generator and Netlify’s deployment platform. That’s not a beta test. That’s a shift in how websites get made.
The partnership blends Bolt’s AI-driven development with Netlify’s deployment tools. The goal is simple: build apps with AI, ship them instantly. No DevOps. No waiting. No server configs. Just build and go.
Bolt Writes the Code. Netlify Ships It.
Bolt is the AI tool built by Stackblitz. It turns plain-language prompts into production-ready web applications. Users type what they want, and Bolt produces working code. Anyone from hobbyists to full-time developers can use it.
That solves the first part—writing code. The second half is where Netlify comes in. Netlify makes that new code live on the internet in just one click. With over six million developers already using its platform, Netlify automates deployment and scales applications without manual effort.
The integration between Bolt and Netlify removes the usual barriers that block ideas from reaching production. No cloud configuration. No infrastructure headaches. Just a direct line from prompt to live site.
Why It Matters
For years, AI development tools focused on code snippets. Now they’re building entire applications. But without a clear way to publish and scale that code, developers hit a wall. That’s what this partnership changes.
Eric Simons, CEO of Stackblitz, said, “By working with Netlify, we offer easy, one-click deployment for apps built with Bolt.” It’s more than a shortcut. It’s a new standard.
Matt Biilmann, CEO of Netlify, added, “This isn’t just about speed. It’s about removing friction.” In other words, developers can stop worrying about infrastructure and start focusing on ideas.
From Test Projects to Production Apps
People aren’t just using Bolt + Netlify for fun. Businesses are launching lead generation tools. Startups are testing new products. Developers are creating multiple live sites in a single day.
Josh Wymer, founder at Central, built a working lead-gen app in just two days using the two platforms. “It made me rethink what’s possible,” he said.
This speed allows for faster testing, shorter development cycles, and more experimentation. Developers can push updates every hour. Marketers can launch landing pages without asking for help. Small teams can act big.
What Agent Experience (AX) Means Now
The partnership also lays the groundwork for what both companies call the Agent Experience (AX). This concept refers to AI agents that can build, deploy, and refine apps with little or no human input.
It’s a shift away from traditional workflows. Developers feed ideas to AI. AI writes the code. Netlify deploys it. AI refines it again. That loop can continue automatically. For users, it means faster delivery and less technical overhead.
Netlify is building out infrastructure that works for both humans and AI. It’s already supporting tools like Bolt, and more are expected to follow.

Output: Live apps in minutes, not days.
Web development has always involved multiple steps—write, test, deploy, maintain. With Bolt and Netlify, two of those steps are now almost instant. This changes how fast developers and companies can move. It lowers the cost of experimentation. And it gives solo builders the tools once reserved for large teams.
A million sites in five months isn’t just a headline. It’s a sign that AI-assisted development is no longer a side project. It’s here—and it’s scaling fast.
