What is Chatbox AI?
Chatbox AI is a multi-model chat client. Instead of keeping four tabs open for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and a local model, you run them all from one app and keep every conversation on your machine.
It is a good fit for marketers and writers who already pay for API access and want a faster, more private front end than the official web apps.
