Application
No-code agentic workflow-automation platform that orchestrates intelligent content workflows -- contract approvals, claims processing, document routing -- combining AI agents, data extraction and document processing end to end.
Agentic data extraction service that pulls structured fields from documents, spreadsheets, images and video in Box using OCR and reasoning models, and writes the results back as Box metadata or returns them via API.
AI agent
Agents built on the Box platform that combine frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google with an organization's own content, automating multi-step tasks such as threat analysis and contract review while respecting Box's enterprise permissions.
Developer tool
Model Context Protocol server that lets external AI agents search, read and extract metadata from content in Box while enforcing the calling user's existing Box permissions, available as a Box-hosted remote server and as a self-hosted Python project.
