softbox

Build apps that
keep up with
your ideas.

Create an app, ask for changes, preview new versions, and publish the interface that's ready to ship.

The idea

One agent. From idea to app.

Ask for a new app or a change. Softbox helps the agent create it, refine it, preview the result, and put the right version live.

Positioning

The shortest version

  • Softbox is an operating system for dynamic user interfaces.
  • OpenClaw is the engine. Softbox is the runtime around it.
  • Generation needs an operating system, not just a backend.
  • Preview first. Promote when ready.

What it does

Softbox in practical terms

Dynamic UI runtime

Softbox is the runtime system for dynamic user interfaces that can be generated, previewed, and promoted.

Prompt to software

A request comes in, OpenClaw generates the change, and Softbox manages the result as running software.

Host for generated apps

Softbox gives generated React apps a consistent place to mount, run, and be inspected as standalone software.

Previewable changes

Every OpenClaw output can be reviewed in Softbox before it replaces the live version.

Controlled rollout

Softbox adds guardrails around generation with validation, health checks, and explicit promotion.

Current implementation

Today Softbox is built with React + Vite around the OpenClaw execution pipeline.
