## Review summary

Users praise Chatbox AI for self-hosted/local-LMM support, a clean UI, and broad provider compatibility. Repeated concerns include lack of clear error messages, HTTPS-only enforcement that hampers local deployments, UI regressions after updates, limited search/grounding options, and occasional connectivity issues with local models.

### Pros

- Self-hosted/local LLM support (connect to your own server or run models locally).
- Clean, fast UI with dark mode and strong mobile performance.
- Broad provider support with on-the-fly model switching between different LLMs.
- Open-source option and easy self-hosted usage.

### Cons

- No clear error messages or logs to explain failures.
- HTTPS-only enforcement blocks local/self-hosted setups and some configurations; HTTP support is missing.
- UI changes/degradations over updates, making navigation slower and less intuitive.
- Limited web search/grounding options (primarily Bing; lacks Google/DuckDuckGo and multiple sources).
- Connectivity issues with local models and staying connected when switching away from the app.
