Boxy was CodeSandbox’s built-in AI assistant for developers, designed to help you turn ideas into working code faster inside a cloud workspace.
Code understanding in project context
Boxy could read the current file and related modules to provide context-aware explanations. This was useful when working with unfamiliar repositories, legacy code, or complex architectures.
- Explain code snippets and project logic
- Highlight dependencies and potential issues
Generate and refactor code
You could ask Boxy to create new functions, components, or tests from a text prompt, or improve existing code without changing behavior.
- Generate features and components from descriptions
- Refactor for structure, readability, and maintainability
- Suggest optimizations while preserving functionality
CodeSandbox integration and status
Because it ran inside CodeSandbox, Boxy could take the project environment, dependencies, and settings into account while you worked.
- Note: Boxy was officially discontinued in July 2024. AI features in CodeSandbox are now available via Codeium.
