We are incredibly excited to announce the general availability of the Box Agent, enabling enterprises to transform their content into the exact context AI needs to reason, create multi-step plans, and complete complex work with simple, natural language direction. The majority of enterprise data is unstructured, and harnessing actionable insights can mean hours of manual searching and analysis. The Box Agent addresses these challenges by shifting from simple keyword search to true, action-oriented intelligence that understands intent and delivers grounded answers. It combines multi-step reasoning with Secure RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) to ensure every outcome is grounded in your actual enterprise files, folders, and metadata. We do this with a combination of:  The latest AI models, from Open AI, Anthropic, Google Deepmind, and more to power diverse reasoning tasks

Multi-Step Reasoning: Unlike a basic chatbot, the Box Agent can create a plan, execute multiple steps, and iterate on its own to solve a complex problem. Content Grounding: The agent doesn't just "chat"; every answer is grounded in your actual enterprise content in Box—files, folders, and metadata. Task Execution: It is designed to be a "teammate" that handles time-consuming tasks like summarizing thousands of files or identifying legal risks across entire Hub

Video files aren’t supported yet.

A recent Deloitte study found 40-50% of enterprise information is ROT - Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial … causing “shiny object” AI demos to fail when they hit enterprise reality. The key to AI success, for any company, is to start with controlled, predictable data flows.

Everyone’s racing to “add AI” to their business. But here’s the uncomfortable truth:AI without access to your business content is just a generic LLM.It might write decent emails.It might summarize public info.It might sound smart.But it doesn’t know your customers.It doesn’t understand your processes.It can’t reflect your institutional knowledge, decisions, or competitive edge.The real value of AI shows up only when it’s grounded in: Your documents Your data Your workflows Your historical context That’s when AI stops being a novelty and starts becoming: A force multiplier A decision accelerator A genuine competitive advantage Otherwise, you’re just using the same intelligence as everyone else -- wrapped in a different UI.A
