## ๐ Summary
- Google Stitch and Bolt.new partnership enables one-click design-to-code workflow
- Stitch creates rapid prototypes with AI, Bolt adds full-stack functionality
- Demonstrates building a recruiting tool with sidebar navigation and component reuse
- Shows workarounds for Stitch's inconsistent component generation
- Covers adding new pages to existing Bolt projects from Stitch exports
## ๐ Main Content
This tutorial demonstrates a new partnership between Google Stitch and Bolt.new that streamlines the design-to-development workflow. Google Stitch serves as a rapid prototyping tool that generates design systems from prompts, while Bolt.new provides full-stack development capabilities including databases, authentication, and server functions.
The workflow begins with creating a prototype in Google Stitch using natural language prompts. The example shows building an internal recruiting tool with three main sections: open positions, candidates, and interviews. Stitch generates multiple screen designs within minutes, though it sometimes creates inconsistent components across pages.
The key innovation is the one-click export feature. Users can select their Stitch designs and export them directly to Bolt with the "Format for Bolt" option. This automatically creates a Bolt project with pre-filled prompts and attached design assets.
Bolt's AI agent then converts the designs into functional React components, addressing Stitch's component consistency issues by creating reusable elements like unified sidebars and top bars across all pages. Additional pages can be added by copying code from new Stitch designs and prompting Bolt to integrate them using existing components.

## ๐ฃ๏ธ Paraphrase
Google Stitch and Bolt.new have partnered to create a seamless design-to-code workflow. Designers can rapidly prototype interfaces in Stitch using AI-powered natural language prompts, then export those designs directly to Bolt with a single click. Bolt's development environment adds full-stack capabilities like databases and authentication while automatically fixing component consistency issues that Stitch sometimes creates. The workflow supports both initial project creation and adding new pages to existing projects through a copy-paste integration method.

## Highlights
- welcome back to another Bolt tutorial. You may have seen our, previous video about Google Stitch and how easy it is to use as a creative design partner to build out your prototype and then hand those designs off to your Bolt project. This gets the best of both worlds using Stitch as your rapid design partner and then you can bring that into Bolt and get the full functionality of Bolt with databases, user authentication, server functions, and a whole bunch more. this new partnership means that you can bring in your designs from Stitch into Bolt with the single ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01ksrp5ec7nmnnqmsjw9gztc3q))
- Note: The Stitch โ Bolt one-click export: Stitch handles rapid design partner work; Bolt provides full functionality (databases, auth, server functions). The pattern of AI tools forming specialized handoff chains rather than monolithic generalist tools.

- of the pages. The bolt agent has determined that this top bar is a reusable component, just like the sidebar, and implemented, it on all of the pages. here's our prompt. Just to tweak a few little things. Let's build. Just like that. We've tweaked each of the pages so now that the top bar looks a little bit more consistent and has some breathing room. now an important caveat to note is that if we do decide to build out more pages here inside of Stytch and then we click export to Bolt, It will create a new Bolt project based on that ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01ksrp5rs00pc2ms4hjk96bv4c))
- Note: The Bolt agent's component-detection capability: identifies that the top bar is a reusable component (like the sidebar) and implements it consistently across pages. Plus the gotcha: re-exporting from Stitch creates a NEW Bolt project, not an update.
