We're excited to share significant news from the world of AI development: Blackbox AI, a leading AI coding assistant, has announced two major updates: the launch of its own Blackbox IDE and a strategic partnership with ElevenLabs, the leader in realistic text-to-speech (TTS) technology.
This combination marks a major step towards a fully conversational AI co-pilot, natively integrated into its own development environment.
Voice and IDE: The New Workflow
By integrating ElevenLabs' API, Blackbox AI now enables developers to move beyond text prompts and literally talk to their assistant. Users can vocally ask questions about their code, dictate new functions, and receive intelligent, spoken feedback in ElevenLabs' lifelike voice.
This "hands-free" approach becomes even more powerful within the new Blackbox IDE, a complete development environment built from the ground up for AI-native interaction.
Reference: What is Blackbox AI for Enterprise?
For those unfamiliar with the platform, Blackbox AI is an ecosystem of AI tools designed to accelerate the entire software development lifecycle.
Previously known primarily as a plugin, Blackbox now offers two powerful solutions:
The new Blackbox IDE: This is a standalone, AI-powered development environment. It combines familiar features (code editor, terminal) with deep AI integration, acting as an "AI coding partner" that can autonomously complete tasks, turn words into code, and operate in either supervised "Manual Mode" or "Auto Mode" for maximum productivity.
The Enterprise Solution: For companies requiring maximum security and control, Blackbox AI offers On-Premise or VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) Deployment. This allows businesses to host the AI models within their own isolated infrastructure, ensuring that sensitive code and proprietary data never leave their secure perimeter.
Conclusion
The partnership between Blackbox AI and ElevenLabs, combined with the launch of a dedicated IDE, isn't just a new feature. It's the creation of a comprehensive product that makes powerful AI tools more accessible and efficient while simultaneously meeting the strict security demands of the enterprise world.
