Overview
Summary of collected information about Blackbox.ai based on documentation and site exploration: What was collected: - Site purpose/tagline: Blackbox.ai is presented as an AI coding agent / all-in-one AI coding platform aimed at developers and teams, marketed as an end-to-end developer assistant and referenced as trusted by millions and some Fortune 500 customers. - Key product surfaces: Web app (chat, code generation, debugging, project-aware assistance); Desktop app (local agent); Mobile apps; VS Code extension (real-time in-editor assistance, docs reference ~4.2M+ installs); Blackbox IDE and CLI; Builder Platform & API for building/integrating AI workflows and agents. - Multi-model & multi-modal support: Docs claim support for 300+ models and text/image/video/speech capabilities. - Enterprise features: Docs reference end-to-end encryption / hardware attestation (Blackbox Encrypted), SSO/SCIM/audit/logging, dedicated support and deployment options. - Credibility/claims: Docs and homepage present performance claims (faster development metrics like 10x/2x vs competitors in places), project-wide context awareness, and market signals such as millions of users and millions of installs in marketing copy. - Useful pages found: Homepage, Pricing, Docs root, Enterprise docs, VS Code/docs feature page, Login, Manage subscriptions, Encrypted inference docs (links included below). What could not be extracted reliably: - Exact pricing tiers, plan names, monthly/yearly prices and structured plan feature lists could not be validated or parsed. Automated extraction attempts failed validation due to feature lists exceeding the parsing tool limits; third-party sites show starting prices but were not relied upon. Recommended next steps (pick one): 1) Manual scrape of the pricing page (re-fetch and extract visible pricing text manually) to produce a clean table of plan names, monthly & yearly prices, core features, and notes on trials/credits. 2) Screenshot capture of the pricing page for visual verification and text extraction. 3) Focused collection of a specific area (enterprise/security feature list, API docs & limits, mobile/desktop download links, terms/privacy/compliance). 4) Provide a structured export (CSV/JSON) of the pages and key fields already discovered. Note on unknowns and constraints: I did not fabricate pricing or plan details; pricing structure remains unverified. The presence of a free trial or free tier was not confirmed in the collected documentation, so trial/credit status is currently unknown. If you want a re-attempt for pricing, say "Extract pricing" and specify output format (summary, table, JSON, CSV) and the scraper will be re-run using manual parsing to avoid prior validation errors.
