Today we’re thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with @Microsoft.

For enterprise organizations that run on Microsoft this is a game changer.

Getting access to new AI tools in an enterprise is hard.

Today we partnered with @Microsoft to make it easy.

For Microsoft customers, Bolt is:

• Procurement-ready: buy through your existing Azure agreement
• Where you work: build apps from a Teams conversation in minutes
• Extensible: deploy to your own Azure infrastructure

Everyone builds. Engineering ships.

@alexberger_me I love this guy, just 10x that shit 😂

Incase you missed our release of 'Multiplayer' last week, here's a tutorial guiding you through it.

This release opens up a whole new world for real-time project collaboration.

[bolt.new @boltdotnew]

Stop prompting like its 2025.

In this tutorial, you'll learn 7 (research backed) advanced prompting techniques you can use to get the most out of your prompts.

[Kevin McGivern @KevIsDev]

Worth the watch even for a seasoned bolter 💙

[bolt.new @boltdotnew]

Everything we'd teach a new Bolt user about prompting, in one video:

Enhance prompt, plan mode, model selection, /clear, the select tool, project knowledge, image generation, screenshots as input, version history, and the prompt library.

New tutorial below 👇

[bolt.new @boltdotnew]

Gorgeous moving backgrounds used to mean a week of webgl.

Now it's a single prompt because Shaders are live in Bolt.

Full demo below 👇 learn more about Shaders here 👉 @npm_i_shaders

Ever had trouble finding that project your teammate was working on?

Ohhhh noice 👌

[bolt.new @boltdotnew]

Your Bolt homepage got a refresh.

The new projects dashboard puts your personal and team projects in one place. Thumbnails help you find what you need, star the ones you live in, rename or transfer in one click.

Everything you're building, front and center.

[bolt.new @boltdotnew]

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.

[Kevin McGivern @KevIsDev]

Perfecto 👌

[bolt.new @boltdotnew]

Multiplayer is live in Bolt.

Open any project and you'll see who else is in it, when they're typing, and the full shared chat history. One project, one thread, one source of truth.

[Martin Slaney @martinslaney]

there’s a Japanese concept called shu–ha–ri:

shu: follow the rules
ha: break the rules
ri: transcend them

most teams operate in shu
clear roles, clean handoffs

but as tools get better, you start to see ri:

roles collapse into capability
pm codes, eng designs, everyone ships

the bottleneck stops being “who owns this?���
and becomes “what needs to exist?”

feels like more teams are crossing that line now

[inkko @inkko44]

4.7 is so damn good.

This was one-shotted with the prompt:
"build an agency landing page"

[bolt.new @boltdotnew]

Opus 4.7 is live in bolt.

The best app builder needs the best model underneath it. 4.7 is that model - highest score we've ever clocked on long, complex builds.

Go ship something.

[Eric Simons @EricSimons]

Excellent explanation of why weak competitors are perpetually >= one step behind you

For strong competitors though, view them as “Free R&D”

Bless their experiments you didn’t fund nor run, yet receive the learnings royalty free to savagely innovate & execute from
