The Levie Edge: Box, Business & Beyond

 

Your front-row seat to Aaron Levie’s latest insights, bold ideas, and game-changing updates.

 


Aaron Levie recently shared an important perspective on what enterprise AI conversations often overlook: agents don’t just need access to data — they need the right structure around it.

Speaking at Daytona’s Compute Conference, Aaron explained why file systems are becoming a critical part of enterprise AI infrastructure. Without the right guardrails, giving agents broad access to content can introduce serious risk. But with a partitioned, well-structured approach, organizations can safely give agents access to the files they need — turning them into a force multiplier for teams across the business.

Enterprise search is evolving fast, and it starts with the file system. In our latest AI Explainer episode, Box CTO Ben Kus shares how agentic search and context retrieval help teams find the right information inside unstructured data—so work gets done faster, with less digging.


 

 


NOVO Construction, Inc. found its first real AI win by tackling a task employees truly hated: processing certificates of insurance. With Box AI, they automated 1,300 COIs in 30 days at 98% accuracy—turning a decade of manual paperwork into a practical success story. It’s a strong reminder that the best AI use cases often start with everyday work that teams want off their plates.
