This is the repository for the Chatbox Community Edition, open-sourced under the GPLv3 license. For most users, I recommend using the Chatbox Official Edition (closed-source). It's still completely free, easy to install, and supports more of the latest features. You can get it below:
This version is modified by Jakit for personal usage.
- Disable all the online
Chatboxservice API. - Disable all the
Chatboxcommercial functionalities (UI components). - Optimized for local usage.

✨ Constantly enhancing the experience with new features!
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. There are many users who 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...

gem install bundler -v 1.17.3- Setup local API server
cd server
bundle install
ruby app.rbThen you see server will run on port http://localhost:4567

proxy_pass http://localhost:4567/api/
}
}
