About this listing

Product and access model reviewed from current official sources; workflow and example are editorial suggestions, not a hands-on test.

Official source

Chat with files and models in one app, using a local knowledge base, web search, and optional agent workflows.

Best suited to

Chatbox suits users who want document questions and everyday AI conversations in a shared workspace.

Meet Chatbox

Chatbox suits users who want document questions and everyday AI conversations in a shared workspace. It supports provider connections as well as its own service plans. Local knowledge organization can help keep related files together; storage location should not be confused with where an online model processes a request.

A practical workflow

  1. Choose the hosted service or configure a supported provider connection.
  2. Add a permitted document to a conversation or knowledge collection.
  3. Ask a question scoped to that material.
  4. Inspect the source text and review any tool actions before using the answer.

Illustrative input

This example describes a task, not a tested output. Adjust the source material and settings to your own situation.

From this project PDF, summarize the delivery milestones and identify details that the document leaves unresolved.

Result check: Verify the dates against the file and check whether a requested web result actually supports the answer.

Access and alternatives

The hosted Free plan has a daily resetting compute allowance and restricted advanced tools. Paid plans expand compute and model access. Work Mode can be trial-limited, and bring-your-own-provider usage may carry separate charges.

Choose another workflow when its emphasis fits better: AnythingLLM for a document-focused local workspace; Open WebUI for a self-hosted chat interface.
