If your CMS keeps getting in your way, it's probably worth building the one you actually want.

Cherry on top: a Grok Bot does a full QA pass on every page and blog post before it goes out. Broken links, layout, copy, all of it. By the time we hit publish, it's already been checked three times.

The agents are the fun part. One helps edit content. Another checks each page against SEO best practices and suggests fixes, then makes the edits for you. Neither one ships anything on its own. We accept or reject every change. Their writing rules live in the CMS too, so I can tweak them anytime without a deploy.

The preview should use the exact same components as your live site. Otherwise you're guessing. I added mobile and dark mode toggles too, which ended up being the thing we use most for previewing.

Nothing goes live without a review. Edits sit as drafts until someone approves them. Sounds slow but it means we can let more people (and the agent) touch the site without worrying.

For the page builder, think in sections. A hero, a grid, a CTA, an FAQ block. Our design team designs each one carefully, then it gets added as a building block in the builder. A page is just a stack of them you can reorder.

No need to pay for an expensive CMS anymore. Every one we tried was either bloated or missing what we needed, so I built our own for @boltdotnew. It has a page builder, live preview, drafts, and an AI agent that helps edit. Here's roughly how you'd build one.

I started by writing down every type of page we publish and what fields each one needs. Blog post, landing page, FAQ, whatever. That list ends up driving the whole editor, so it's worth getting right first.

Most people are sleeping on Grok Bot. I run about 20 of them now. Each one has one job. One debriefs my calls. One keeps Bolt's roadmap current. One flags blockers before they slip. One drafts my weekly update. I just tell them what "done" looks like. It's that easy.

People are complaining Fable won’t be included in the Pro plan, but the real question is, how can you not make your money back with the Max plan??
Beginning July 20, Claude Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans, at 50% of limits. Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit. Demand for Fable has been challenging to predict, which is why we rolled it out to subscription plans in stages, extending access several times as we secured additional capacity.

A few founders have DM'd me (mind blowing!) pitch decks they made with this I've been wanting to do more angel investing, and would love to support founders building w/ Bolt, so: Reply w/ your pitch decks by EOD Monday, I will review and can invest up to $50k in 10 founders 🫡
Today we're open sourcing Bolt Slides. Now any agent (Claude Code, Codex, Bolt) can make slides you couldn't even imagine before. What does that mean? Take a look 👇

Building this feature was not on my bingo card but I’m pretty proud of how it turned out 🙌

Best 𝕏 update I've seen in a whiiiiiile
Ladies and gentlemen, today we're launching one of our biggest changes to 𝕏 Introducing Custom Timelines This feature allows you to pin a specific topic to your home tab. With support for over 75 topics, you can dive deep into your favorite niche on X. It's powered by Grok's understanding of every post with the algorithm's personalization—meaning every timeline is made just for you. And it works even better when it's a topic you already engage with. This was a huge undertaking across many months, so we're excited for you take it for a spin. We're giving early access to Premium subscribers on iOS (and Android coming very soon).

Meet the new Shaders connector Hundreds of animated, WebGPU-powered presets from @npm_i_shaders now one prompt away inside any Bolt project. The easiest way to give your build the kind of visual polish that used to take custom work.
