Chatbox Integration
A powerful, easy-to-install cross-platform chat client for large language models, connecting to Calgine Tokens via an OpenAI-compatible provider.
Chatbox is a popular cross-platform chat client for large language models, available on desktop, mobile, and web. Beyond basic AI chat, it offers Artifact code previews, chart generation, document understanding, web page parsing, and more.

Tips
- Artifact preview: After AI generates code for a webpage or mini-game, you can preview the running result directly inside Chatbox.
- Chart generation: Use the "Make Charts" assistant to create mind maps, flowcharts, and statistical charts. Pair it with a more capable model (like
gpt-4o) for better results. - Document & image understanding: Send documents, images, or web links to the AI for discussion.
