"longDescription": "box gives your AI a computer of its own: a cloud Linux desktop with Chrome, a shell and desktop apps. Your AI drives it through the box tools, so long or messy tasks run there instead of on your laptop.\n\nWhat it can do:\n- Browse the web in a real Chrome, including sites you sign in to once on your box, and read, click and fill pages.\n- Run commands and code in a shell, and read and write files on the box.\n- Use desktop apps on the box, such as a text editor or LibreOffice, and take screenshots of the desktop.\n- Wake, check and save your box.\n\nYou stay in control: watch your box live and take over at any time at box.simular.ai/box. When a step needs you, such as a sign-in, a 2FA code, a captcha or a payment, the AI stops and asks you to do it on your box. Passwords are never asked for in chat.\n\nSign in once with your Simular account (Google or GitHub).",
