Maker

📌

I developed Chatbox initially because I was debugging some prompts and found myself in need of a simple and easy-to-use prompt and API debugging tool. I thought there might be more people who needed such a tool, so I open-sourced it. At first, I didn't know that it would be so popular. I listened to the feedback from the open-source community and continued to develop and improve it. Now, it has become a very useful AI desktop application. Many users love Chatbox, and they not only use it for developing and debugging prompts, but also for daily chatting, and even to do some more interesting things like using well-designed prompts to make AI play various professional roles to assist them in everyday work... If you've been using Chatbox, I'd love to hear more of your thoughts and suggestions. If you're new to it and have been on the lookout for a desktop client, why not give Chatbox a shot? But more importantly, I'd like to hear what you think.

@benn_h 🎉 I absolutely loved the app and its design! It's truly remarkable! 😍 Could you please update the source code as well? It is licensed under GPL. I wanted to experiment with it, but the main source code, apart from some README files, is 3 months old and I am unable to incorporate the new features. I believe many individuals who have forked your repository would also like to access these updates. Thank you in advance. 🙏

@benn_h @kevins_rider I was looking at source code too, to check the Ollama integration, but I can't see it, why? Thanks

I'm a big fan of Chatbox and use it every day! It's a great and affordable way to access ChatGPT and other LLMs. Thank you very much for developing it! 👍 One minor request: Please add a keyboard shortcut to clean all messages in the chat window. 😊

I've been using this tool for quite a while now (since version ~0.4 I believe) and it has become indispensable for me as a productivity multiplier, not just for writing software but for various things in life. Benn has been great at quickly folding in new LLMs and APIs as they become available and improving the performance of Chatbox. I love this tool!

I have greatly enjoyed utilizing the Chatbox, as it has proven to be a valuable time and energy-saving tool in both my personal and professional endeavors. I first became acquainted with Chatbox through the Jike app and have been consistently using it since its initial version. I am tremendously grateful to Benn for developing this remarkable software.

Review Chatbox?

Reviewers see Chatbox as a fast, stable, easy-to-use front end for working with multiple AI models and APIs, with particular praise for quick model switching, prompt and temperature controls, file uploads, local model support, and low resource use. Several say it fits daily work well, from research to simple API access, and they like the clean UI and straightforward setup. The main complaints are narrower: limited web browsing on mobile, incomplete support for some model providers and third-party file uploads, too few UI and configuration options, and some unfinished Chinese localization.
