Bolt Bolt: AI Visibility Report

bolt.new ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about ai app builders, Bolt ranks #3 of 15, a Visibility Score of 47 in AI App Builders .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees Bolt

Frequent mention, but almost never the first name spoken.

Where it wins. Bolt shows up in 65% of relevant AI recommendations, a strong presence for a 15-brand category, and holds the third rank overall. That mention rate signals real familiarity across all three models.

Where it loses. A 4% first-pick rate means buyers hear the name but rarely hear it first, which is where purchase intent concentrates. The absence from enterprise-themed prompts also cuts Bolt out of higher-value deal conversations entirely.
