What you get

You get writing and coding help without leaving the text you’re working on.

BoltAI lets you turn selected text into a clearer draft, a summary, or a translation from the app you’re already using. You can call up prompts through a keyboard shortcut and context menu, so you spend less time moving text between your work and a separate AI chat.

When you need a starting point, you can brainstorm topics, build outlines, or draft articles and technical content. For coding tasks, you can ask for help with an approach or request code completion from within your IDE. You can also condense reading material into key takeaways.

For recurring work, you can save your own prompts and create task-specific assistants rather than explain the same instructions each time. You can choose between supported AI services and local models, keeping different options in one chat interface.

  • Improve text in place

    You can rewrite, summarize, or translate selected text without moving it into a separate chat first.

  • Get past blank pages

    You can turn an initial idea into topics, outlines, and drafts for articles or technical content.

  • Get help while coding

    You can request code completion or discuss possible solutions from within your IDE.

  • Reuse your instructions

    You can save prompts and tailor assistants to recurring tasks instead of starting each request from scratch.

  • Condense your reading

    You can extract key takeaways and simplify dense text into something easier to review.

Best for

  • You write articles or technical content regularly
  • You want AI help while working in an IDE
  • You repeat similar AI writing or summarizing tasks

Skip it if

You probably don’t need it if occasional chats in your existing AI service already cover your needs.
