Trusted by over 80M users worldwide, ChatBox helps you compare AI answers, research live sources, analyze documents, create text, visuals, and work-ready drafts, use advanced OCR, debug code, and manage prompts in one AI workspace.

Assess outputs, reasoning styles, citations, code quality, and writing tone before choosing the best response. AI WRITING ASSISTANT Draft articles, reports, emails, study guides, and business documents. Save tone, formatting, and structure as reusable prompts across models. WEB RESEARCH WITH CITATIONS ChatBox searches multiple live sources simultaneously, cross-references results, and delivers a structured research report with verifiable citations. Use it for competitive analysis, academic research, market deep-dives, or any topic where a simple answer isn't enough. AI DOCUMENT ANALYZER Upload PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files. Extract key clauses from contracts, summarize research papers, review spreadsheets, or compare two documents — all in one app, across any AI model. AI IMAGE GENERATOR Convert any text prompt into original AI-generated artwork, ready to download or share. IMAGE ANALYSIS & OCR Extract and interpret text from screenshots, scanned documents, receipts, and handwritten notes using OCR combined with AI vision. SPECIALIZED AI ASSISTANTS Switch to a coding assistant for debugging, a writing assistant for editing tone, or a research assistant for structured analysis. FAQ Q: Who is ChatBox for?
