prompt boot
verb
To install software by telling an AI to do it.
Usage
install slack
install https://get.docker.com
install chrome, vs code, slack, docker and 1password
You type it. It works out what the software is, gets it from the right place, installs it, and tells you what it did. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to install first.
What you need
An AI that can use your computer. This is the only thing that stops a first attempt: a chat window on a website can read and write text and nothing else — it cannot see your files or run anything, so it cannot install software however clearly you ask.
Any of these can:
Claude Code
open a terminal and run
claudeGrok Build
open a terminal and run
grokClaude desktop app
Download it, then Code tab → Local → Select folder
ChatGPT desktop app
Download it, then add a local project and attach a folder: the project menu → Edit project → Add folder
Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot
open them the way you normally would
Why this works now
Installing software is mostly knowing where the real download lives, which package manager your machine uses, and what the installer is going to do. That is exactly the kind of thing a current model is good at, and it stopped needing help with it somewhere in the last year.
So there is no tool here, and nothing to add to your machine. The word is just a name for something your AI can already do.
