BoxLang AI: From AI Experiments to Real-World Systems!
Why we built BoxLang AI?
AI is everywhere. New models, new tools, new announcements every week. But for most teams, the real challenge isn’t choosing a model. It’s making AI actually work inside real applications.
Integrations are complex. Vendor APIs change constantly. Costs grow quickly.And many projects never move past proof-of-concept.
At Ortus Solutions, we kept seeing the same pattern:
Lots of AI demos. Very few production AI systems.
That’s why we built BoxLang AI. Not as another chatbot wrapper. Not as a single-provider SDK. But as a foundation for building real AI-powered applications!
What Is BoxLang AI?
BoxLang AI is the official AI library for the BoxLang JVM dynamic language and for Modern CFML developers or really anyone who wants to explore it’s power and integrate with their own language and systems
.
It provides a single, unified API to work with multiple AI providers and build:
- AI-powered applications
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems
- Autonomous agents
- Distributed AI services
All without vendor lock-in. With BoxLang AI, you don’t rewrite your application every time you change models. You write once. You stay flexible.
Why Another AI Library?
Because most teams don’t struggle with prompts.
They struggle with:
- Integrating AI into existing systems
- Connecting AI to internal data
- Automating real workflows
- Maintaining control over cost, security, and architecture
Most AI tooling focuses on model access.
BoxLang AI focuses on system design.
It’s the difference between: “We can call an AI model.” and “We can build AI-driven platforms.”
One API, Many Providers
BoxLang AI supports 12+ providers, including: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Ollama, Perplexity, HuggingFace, and more. You can switch providers or combine multiple models with minimal or zero code changes.
This means:
- No long-term lock-in
- Freedom to experiment
- Control over cost and performance
Your architecture stays stable even as models change.
Beyond Chat: What You Can Build
BoxLang AI is designed for much more than chat interfaces.
Out of the box, you can build:
RAG & Vector Search
- Create knowledge systems that search your documents, databases, and content using semantic search across 10+ vector databases and 30+ file formats.
AI Agents
- Build autonomous agents with instructions, memory, tools, and sub-agents to perform multi-step tasks.
Tools & Workflows
- Let AI call your functions, APIs, and services to automate real processes.
Distributed AI with MCP
- Expose tools as AI services or consume external AI microservices using the Model Context Protocol.
These are the building blocks of real AI systems.
Built for Production
BoxLang AI is designed for real-world use:
- Multi-tenant by design
- Local or cloud model support
- Structured outputs
- Event-driven observability
- Works with any language, powered by BoxLang AI
This makes it suitable for both:
- Developers building applications
- Organizations building AI platforms
Two Paths, One Foundation
Some teams start with: “We want to automate internal tasks.”
Others start with: “We want to add AI features to our product.” Both paths require the same foundation:
- A flexible, provider-independent AI layer.
- That’s what BoxLang AI provides.
