Introducing Box AI (Graphic: Box, Inc.)
“We are at the start of a platform shift in enterprise software driven by recent advancements in generative AI, and nowhere is the potential impact greater than in enterprise content,” said Aaron Levie, Co-Founder and CEO of Box. “We’ve seen a step function improvement in our ability to analyze and synthesize the massive amounts of data contained within an organization’s unique documents, videos, presentations, spreadsheets, and more. When combined with AI, we will be able to unlock the value of this content and make every person in a company smarter and more productive. Content is an organization’s most important data, and with Box AI we’re just getting started with how we’ll transform the way work gets done.”
From financial statements and legal contracts, to marketing presentations, and HR policies, more than 115,000 customers trust Box to manage and secure their most important business information. Box AI will bring foundational AI models to where their content is already securely stored, making the files inside of an organization more useful and valuable than ever before.
“Companies that are slow to adopt AI will be left behind,” said Holly Muscolino, Group Vice President, Content Strategies and the Future of Work at IDC. ”AI will augment human abilities, automate repetitive tasks, provide personalized recommendations, and make data-driven decisions with speed and accuracy. Box’s Content Cloud is well-positioned to harness the power of AI, and it will play a key role in helping businesses reach this next stage in the future of work.”
At the Content Cloud Summit on May 9, the company will preview two initial Box AI capabilities, with more to come.
Find the Right Answers and Work Faster with Box AI
Box AI will help users find the exact information they need, when they need it. When viewing a document in preview, a user can ask questions about a document, pull out insights from a spreadsheet, or summarize a presentation, all with just one click. Box AI will work with an organization’s files, resulting in improved accuracy. With this new capability:
Effortlessly Create New Content with Box AI
Box AI will help users create content faster to increase productivity. Right from within Box Notes, users will be able to create content from scratch or generate new material from existing information. With a simple prompt, users will be able to draft emails, newsletters, or blog posts from the ground up in different tones, lengths, and styles, or develop agendas, manuals, and reports that build upon information that is already in Box. In Box Notes:
Combining Enterprise-Grade Security, Privacy, and Compliance with AI
Guided by Box’s AI Principles, Box AI builds on the platform-neutral framework that Box has been developing for over a decade and will continue to be enriched by applying the latest advanced intelligence models to its Content Cloud. Box AI will be governed by Box’s built-in permissions and is designed to keep customers in control of their data so that users can only see and interact with the files and content they are allowed to access.
In the future, Box plans to embed Box AI across the Box product suite and power more complex use cases. For example, customers will be able to leverage Box AI to automate workflows and tasks to drive faster business outcomes, power security at scale by automatically classifying files, and enhance the developer ecosystem with access to custom APIs.
Building with OpenAI
Today’s Box AI innovations will be powered by the most advanced AI models from OpenAI, so Box customers can benefit from the latest AI technology to enhance their productivity.
“AI has the potential to reshape work as we know it by enabling powerful new tools for productivity and collaboration,” said OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap. “We are excited to support Box in bringing these tools to life for every user, team, and business around the world.”
