The missing link between your phone and your automation workflows. ShellX is a thin client that connects your mobile device directly to n8n, Make, Zapier, Home Assistant, or any webhook endpoint. Voice, text, photos, documents, barcodes, GPS โ everything goes straight to YOUR infrastructure. We never see your data. HOW IT WORKS 1. Configure your webhook URL 2. Send input (voice, text, photo, scan) 3. Your automation processes it 4. See the response (text, voice, or image) That's it. ShellX doesn't process anything โ your workflow does. USE CASES - Chat with your AI agent connected to your company data - Field workers submitting reports via voice - Inventory management with barcode scanning - Home automation voice control - Client-facing interface for your automation agency KEY FEATURES - Works with ANY webhook (n8n, Make, Zapier, ESP32, custom APIs) - Voice input transcribed and sent to your workflow - Responses can be text, audio, or images - Labels to switch between multiple workflows instantly - Quick Mode for one-off commands, Chat Mode for conversations - QR and barcode scanner built-in - Photo and document uploads - Push notifications when your workflow responds - GPS location sharing PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your data never touches our servers. ShellX connects directly to your endpoint. Conversation history stays on your device. No accounts required for personal use. All features included. No ads. No data mining.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShellX at none against Chatzoo's 7. ShellX also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.
