Holographic correlators are the most fundamental observables for exploring and exploiting the AdS/CFT correspondence. In recent years, much progress has been made thanks to the introduction of the bootstrap strategy, revealing interesting mathematical structures and allowing for precision tests of AdS/CFT. In this talk, I will outline a program which extends the bootstrap strategy to holographic CFTs with defects. This extension includes not only familiar types of defects such as Wilson loops, but also more exotic examples of theories placed on real projective space. I will show how we can develop systematic analytic bootstrap techniques to study holographic correlators in these theories. I will give examples at tree and loop levels, as well as results for stringy corrections to defect correlators.
