Leverage the power of Blackbox agents remotely through Blackbox Cloud — enabling simultaneous task execution, monitoring, and pull request management on any codebase. - Launch coding agents from your browser — no local setup, no CLI. Connect a repo, describe the task, and the agent runs in a secure cloud sandbox. - Dispatch the same task to BLACKBOX, Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini simultaneously. A Chairman LLM evaluates each implementation and selects the best result. - Agents create pull requests with clean commits, descriptive titles, and detailed descriptions. Integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. **Features:** - **Browser-based execution**: Launch coding agents directly from your browser. No local setup, no CLI installation. Connect a repo, describe the task, and the agent runs in the cloud. Secure sandboxed environments spin up per task. Full terminal, file system, and Git access within the sandbox. Agents can install dependencies, run tests, and build projects. - **Multi-agent orchestration**: Dispatch the same task to BLACKBOX, Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini simultaneously. A Chairman LLM evaluates each implementation and selects the best result. Monitor all agents in a unified dashboard. Compare implementations side-by-side. Override the Chairman's selection if needed. - **Automatic PR management**: Agents create pull requests with clean commits, descriptive titles, and detailed descriptions. Review diffs, request changes, or merge — all from the dashboard. Integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Branch naming conventions, commit message formats, and review workflows are fully configurable. **FAQ:** - Q: DO I NEED TO INSTALL ANYTHING? A: No. Remote Agent runs entirely in the browser through Blackbox Cloud at `cloud.blackbox.ai`. Just sign in with Google or GitHub, connect a repo, and start dispatching tasks. - Q: WHAT GIT PROVIDERS ARE SUPPORTED? A: GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket are all supported with automatic PR creation and branch management. Self-hosted instances are available on Enterprise plans with `SSO` integration. - Q: CAN I RUN MULTIPLE AGENTS AT ONCE? A: Yes. You can run multiple agents simultaneously on different tasks, or enable Multi-Agent mode to dispatch the same task to Blackbox, Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini in parallel. An AI judge evaluates each implementation and selects the best result. - Q: HOW ARE AGENTS SANDBOXED? A: Each task runs in an isolated cloud sandbox with its own file system, network, and process boundaries. Agents can install dependencies, run tests, and build projects within their sandbox without affecting other tasks. - Q: WHICH AI MODELS CAN I USE? A: Remote Agent supports frontier and open-source models including Claude Opus-4.6, GPT-5.2, Gemini-3, Grok-4, Llama, and Mistral. You select your preferred model and provider before each task, and can use different models for different tasks. - Q: IS THERE A FREE TIER? A: Yes. The free tier includes unlimited requests using the Grok Code Fast Model through the Blackbox provider, including multi-agent mode. Pro ($10/mo), Pro Plus ($20/mo), and Pro Max ($40/mo) unlock additional frontier and open-source models plus higher concurrency limits. - Q: HOW IS MY CODE KEPT SECURE? A: All data in transit is encrypted with `TLS 1.3`, and data at rest uses `AES-256` encryption. Enterprise plans offer end-to-end encryption with zero-knowledge architecture, on-premise deployment, and air-gapped environments for full data sovereignty. ### AI-Native IDE URL: https://www.blackbox.ai/ide The editor that codes with you.
