Products & Services
The main multi-model AI client and assistant. It provides Chat Mode and Work Mode, supports Chatbox AI's service or users' own API keys, and is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, web, iOS, and Android.
The open-source desktop client repository, licensed under GPLv3, for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The repository describes it as a desktop client for ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLMs and says code is regularly synchronized with the pro repository.
The optional hosted model service used inside the app; users can use a free daily-quota plan or paid plans, while messages and uploaded context are transmitted to the service to generate responses.
An agentic mode for desktop that can reason through multi-step tasks, execute code, read and write files, call tools, search the web, use MCP, and work with knowledge bases.
Market Position
Chatbox positions itself as a local-first, privacy-focused alternative to single-provider AI chat applications: one client combines multiple hosted models, BYOK connections, local knowledge bases, file/image analysis, web search, and desktop agentic execution. Its relevant competitive set includes multi-model clients and AI workspaces such as Jan, LM Studio, Poe, and TypingMind, while Work Mode also places it against agentic coding and productivity tools.
Founding Story
Public company-history material is limited. The available product and repository history indicates a privacy-first, local-first AI client built to make access to multiple LLM providers convenient across desktop, web, and mobile, while allowing users to bring their own API keys. The terms page dates the service terms to 2023-08-29, and a company-profile search result describes ChatboxAI as founded in 2023.
