What Chatbox is great at

Being a clean, fast client: bring keys, pick a provider, chat. It stays out of your way, works across desktop platforms, and for developers who already manage provider accounts it is a pleasant front end.

What you also get with idapt

Everything the client leaves to you: routing and failover across providers, one bill with per-request costs, files that persist beyond the device, agents that act, and computers that execute. Your existing keys still work (BYOK), so the switch adds capability without giving up account-level control.
