Ever wanted to get even more from AI? Box AI agents give you the boost you need to finish complex tasks. Use your preferred AI model and save hours of time — while keeping your sensitive data secure. As you configure and customize your Box AI agents, you can give agents specific instructions on how to respond to questions in a way that makes sense for your company and teams. For example, add details from your knowledge base, products, policies, brand guidelines, and more. You can also direct your agents to perform tasks and deliver insights in precise and standardized formats, and adjust permissions so teams access the right agents for their needs.  We’d love to hear about the AI agent you’re looking for or have already built.

We have a lot of folders in Box that contains a lot of duplicative folders/files and wanted to find a way to compare them so that if They are the same, we can just delete one of them One has more files, delete the one with less files Missing files in either folders, synch them and delete one of them.I’m not sure if Box have this capability or not.  Secondly, Box Drive doesn’t show certain type of files, we can’t really do an apple-to-apple comparison between the folders using third party software on our local Box Drive.Any suggestion, API, etc is greatly appreciate.

Can others see someone else’s bin?

We’ve recently been adding the VTT files alongside the MP4 files on our own platform and I was wondering if it were possible to set closed captions to play by default if the VTT file is present, rather than the user having to turn it on. I’m also checking in our LMS to see if I can do anything there, but thought I’d check with the source first.Many thanks
