Simply ask your question naturally, and the CLI will: * Automatically detect when web search is needed * Search relevant sources including the web and X (Twitter) * Synthesize information from multiple sources * Provide citations and references * Deliver current, accurate responses **No model selection required** - web search is intelligently integrated into the CLI experience. Web search is particularly useful for queries requiring current information, market data, news updates, social media trends, or recent technical documentation. The feature includes access to X (Twitter) for real-time social insights. It is currently available only for BLACKBOXAI configuration. ## Multi-Agent Execution Run multiple AI agents in parallel on the same task, with each agent working on a separate Git branch. Compare different implementations and choose the best solution. * **Parallel Processing**: Multiple agents work simultaneously on separate branches * **Quality Comparison**: Compare implementations from Claude, Blackbox, and Codex * **Independent Execution**: Each agent works independently without interference * **Branch-Based Workflow**: Automatic Git branch creation for each agent * **Flexible Selection**: Choose the best implementation after reviewing all options ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}} # Start a blackbox session blackbox # Run multi-agent execution > /multi-agent create a REST API with authentication and CRUD operations > /multi-agent build a responsive dashboard with real-time data > /multi-agent implement a payment processing system with Stripe ``` **How It Works:** The `/multi-agent` command leverages multiple AI models to provide diverse solutions: 1. **Branch Creation**: Automatically creates separate Git branches for each agent 2. **Parallel Execution**: Agents work simultaneously on their respective branches 3. **Independent Implementation**: Each agent provides its own unique approach 4. **Review & Compare**: Examine all implementations side by side 5. **Select Best Solution**: Choose and merge the implementation that best fits your needs **Available Agents (with BLACKBOX API key):** * **Blackbox**: BLACKBOX AI models for optimized code generation * **Claude**: Anthropic's Claude models for complex reasoning * **Codex**: OpenAI's GPT-5.1 Codex for advanced code generation * **Gemini**: Google's Gemini-3-pro for advanced reasoning * **Goose**: Full access to all Blackbox CLI models * **OpenCode**: Complete model support for code generation * **Qwen**: All Blackbox CLI models for diverse approaches All agents are accessible with a single BLACKBOX API key - no additional configuration needed. ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}} # Example workflow > /multi-agent build a todo app with React and TypeScript # BLACKBOX CLI creates branches for each configured agent: # - multi-agent-blackbox- # - multi-agent-claude- # - multi-agent-codex- # - multi-agent-gemini- # - multi-agent-goose- # - multi-agent-opencode- # - multi-agent-qwen- # Each agent implements the todo app independently # Review branches and merge your preferred implementation ``` **Benefits:** * **Multiple Perspectives**: See different approaches to solving the same problem * **Quality Assurance**: Compare implementations to identify the most robust solution * **Learning Opportunity**: Understand different coding patterns and best practices * **Risk Mitigation**: Multiple implementations help catch potential issues early * **Optimal Results**: Choose the implementation that best matches your requirements **Best Use Cases:** * Complex features requiring careful consideration * Security-critical implementations * Performance-sensitive code * Learning different AI coding approaches * Projects where multiple solutions need evaluation The `/multi-agent` command requires an active Git repository. Make sure you're in a Git-initialized project directory before using this feature. Configure your OpenAI API key via `blackbox configure` to enable Codex in multi-agent mode. ## What's next?
