A self-improving Linux terminal powered by AI characters.
Boxxy is a full terminal emulator with an agentic AI layer — BoxxyClaw — built directly into it. Unlike chat-window add-ons, BoxxyClaw has eyes on your shell, reads your terminal buffer, remembers your preferences, and can autonomously fix broken dependencies, manage system configs, and run your scripts. Just press Ctrl+/ and you're in.
Boxxy is currently in Preview.
