Bolt launched Forge on 14 September 2026 as a research preview using open-weight models. Its launch announcement advertises up to 50 times more usage for individual Pro plans through 14 October. That is a temporary provider allowance, not a measure of completed apps.

Check access inside your account
The agent documentation says Forge appears alongside Standard and Max for eligible accounts and is locked otherwise. Seeing the announcement does not establish access. Review the picker and allowance before planning a deadline around it.

StackBlitz’s terms, sections 3.5–3.6, describe consent, model development and licensing of de-identified datasets. They also exclude certain managed accounts and specify different treatment for accounts in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Do not assume the promotional summary describes every account identically.
Our suggested first project is a disposable reading-list app using invented books. Write three checks before generating anything: adding an item, marking it finished and keeping the list after reload. Save a copy before changing agents, then compare against those same checks. This is a proposed exercise, not a test we have completed.
Judge the finished result
More attempts are useful only if you can identify what improved. Keep the input, failing check and correction together; a page that loads can still lose data. The AI demo repeatability guide helps define a separate acceptance check. PickByTask has reviewed the cited pages, but has not tested Forge or verified your account’s entitlement.
