Bolt: Interactive AI Presentations with Bolt Slides
BoltBolt introduced Bolt Slides, a new way to build presentations where each deck is a real, interactive web app instead of a static file. Users can prompt Bolt to generate decks with live data, 3D visualizations, embedded prototypes, and interactive charts, then share them as a link rather than a PDF. Bolt Slides ships with presenter mode, content-anchored annotations, and deep-linkable slides, and Bolt also open-sourced the underlying codebase so it can be run with other coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.

A New Take on Presentations
Bolt introduced Bolt Slides, a presentation tool that breaks from the PowerPoint/Google Slides model of static files. Each slide renders as a standalone React component, Slidev-style, making the deck behave like a living web app. Users draft a full deck from a single prompt, then iterate with follow-ups to add slides, adjust layout, or bring in new content.
Interactive, Data-Connected Slides
Because each slide is a real component, decks can embed live charts backed by real data, walkable 3D scenes, working prototypes an audience can test live, and interactive calculators — e.g. a walkable 3D property tour next to a live mortgage calculator, or a working product prototype mounted directly into a pitch deck.
Presenter Mode and Annotations
A presenter mode opens in a second tab with a timer, next-slide preview, and editable speaker notes, synced via BroadcastChannel so notes stay private while the audience sees only the polished slide. Annotations are content-anchored rather than pixel-anchored, so a circle drawn around a statistic follows that statistic across screen sizes.
Sharing and Distribution
Decks are shared as public links openable without an account, stay current since they can reference live data, and support deep links to specific slides. Presenters can lock editing or open interactive elements up to the audience.
Open Source Release
The underlying codebase was open-sourced at github.com/stackblitz/bolt-slides, letting developers use other coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to build and theme decks outside Bolt.new, with a bundled skill teaching the agent how to compose and style a deck. Available on all Bolt plans.
