Blackbox AI
Multi-model AI coding assistant for 35+ IDEs with voice and vision.
About
Blackbox AI is an AI coding assistant that provides real-time code completion, chat, and debugging across more than 35 IDEs plus web and terminal. Its differentiator is multi-model access — Claude, GPT, and Gemini variants through one subscription — along with unusual extras like extracting code from screenshots and videos, a voice agent for hands-free coding, and a screen-share agent for collaborative debugging. Pricing runs from a limited free tier to Pro at $10/month, Pro Plus at $20/month, and Pro Max at $40/month, with credits consumed by model usage.
The honest caveat: multiple users report inconsistent code quality that demands careful review, billing complaints including charges after cancellation, and monthly-expiring credits that punish light users. It is cloud-dependent with limited on-premise options, so privacy-sensitive teams should evaluate carefully.
