One privacy-first AI client for GPT, Claude, Gemini and more
Switch between GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek and many other providers in one client by plugging in your own API credentials.
Upload PDFs, Office documents, images and code, then ask the app to summarise, explain or extract what you need.
Store documents locally so Chatbox can recall and answer from your own materials while your data stays on your machine.
Pull current results from the web and display answers with Markdown, Mermaid diagrams, LaTeX formulas and code previews.

The AI coding agent for building ambitious software
An agentic mode that plans changes, edits several files at once, runs tests, and iterates until the task is complete.
Background agents spin up their own environments to build, test, and demo features in parallel, then hand back results for review.
Fast inline suggestions plus codebase-wide semantic search and indexing so answers reflect your actual repository.
Switch between leading frontier models from multiple providers, or let Cursor select a model automatically for each task.
