About

Meltbox AI

Read full description

Meltbox is where the agents you already run reach you. You run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI. They do real work, and real work keeps raising questions only you can answer. When your agent reaches one, they send you a brief. A brief is a document built around one decision. The screenshots that changed, the chart behind the numbers, the options laid out as buttons and toggles, the timeline of what happened while you were heads down. You open it, you are back inside the project in seconds, and you answer right there. EVERY AGENT REPORTS TO THE SAME PLACE Briefs from every agent, machine and project arrive in one stream you work top to bottom. No tab per project, no window to hunt through. YOU ANSWER IN THE BRIEF Tap a choice, flip a toggle, leave a note on the exact line you mean. Your agent stays connected and picks the work back up the moment your answer lands. MELTBOX STAYS QUIET UNTIL AN AGENT NEEDS YOU The badge counts the briefs waiting on you, and a notification opens straight into the one that raised the question. THE SAME MELTBOX YOU HAVE AT YOUR DESK Sign in with Google or Apple and your workspaces, briefs and history are already there, exactly as they are at meltbox.ai. Meltbox is built for people who manage agents. The ceiling on how many you can run is how much context you can hold across every terminal, tab and project you left open. That context is what a brief carries.
