BoodleBox AI

Over the last year, I’ve settled on my favorite Gen AI tool, BoodleBox. As I start 2026, I realize that BoodleBox offers a safe space to work with Gen AI, share Gen AI with folks news to using it to get things done. It’s a workhorse AI tool. It gives you access to a wide variety of chatbots in one space, safeguards data privacy, and makes bot creation easy. You can read my disclaimer if in doubt.

“One Platform. Every AI. Infinite Possibilities.”

If you want to get started quickly, you can use a referral code. A more studied approach includes reading blog entries I’ve written. Or, check out the BoodleBox bots (a.k.a. custom GPTs) I’ve made.

Disclaimer: Miguel Guhlin supports the use of BoodleBox AI in K-16 schools and organizations because it’s a great Gen AI tool that safeguards your data. He does not benefit personally in any way from your use of the MGFREE123 code. If you use the referral link, the benefits are no different than anyone else using a referral code. He doesn’t care what Gen AI tool you use, but his informed opinion is that BoodleBox is a great, safe alternative for those who don’t want to get locked into Big Tech solutions but can’t afford running Gen AI open source solutions on their own equipment. “BoodleBox is the best solution for $20 a month (or $16 for academics) you can get that allows you to access a wide variety of frontier models, delete your chats, adheres to SOC2/FERPA and enterprise level security,” he likes to share.
