Editor & IDE
Blackbox AI
An AI coding assistant available as a web chat, VS Code extension, and JetBrains plugin, offering code search, autocomplete, and an agentic App Builder.
Blackbox AI is a multi-model coding assistant that works both as a standalone web chat and as an extension across more than 30 IDEs, giving developers code search, autocomplete, image-to-code, and agentic app-building from a single account.
Why it stands out
- Broad IDE reach, with plugins spanning VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Android Studio, and Xcode rather than one primary editor.
- Multiple LLMs behind one interface, so you can switch models without changing tools.
- App Builder agent on paid tiers that can scaffold and iterate on a project from a prompt, not just answer inline questions.
Good for
Developers who want a low-cost entry point into AI coding assistance that works across whichever IDE they already use.
