How AI is used
Boxy is an AI coding companion built for the CodeSandbox cloud development environment. It is designed to assist developers by providing contextual understanding of their codebase to suggest changes and explain logic based on the project's state.
The tool is intended for developers and software companies using cloud-based IDEs. It provides a chat interface and supports interaction with the app preview to help with common coding tasks.
Buyers should note that Boxy was deprecated in July 2024, and AI capabilities on the platform are now provided through Codeium. To enable AI features, users must manually opt-in.
As part of the CodeSandbox ecosystem, business buyers should confirm if the cloud development environment and usage-based pricing model align with their infrastructure requirements.
