Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Box
Agent platform
No-code environment where Box administrators create, configure, test and deploy custom AI agents scoped to selected documents and models, and control which users can access each agent.
Platform
Generative AI layer across Box's content platform that answers questions over stored documents, summarizes files and folders, and extracts structured data from contracts and forms; agentic, multi-step work is Box AI Agents, recorded separately.
Dify
Agent platform
Visual canvas where teams build agentic workflows and chatflows from model calls, knowledge retrieval, tools, code, branching, triggers and human review, then test, trace and ship them as AI apps.
Platform
Visual builder for agentic workflows, RAG pipelines and model orchestration in one collaborative workspace, run as a managed cloud service, self-hosted under a modified Apache 2.0 licence, or deployed in a customer's own VPC.
Visual pipeline builder that turns files, drives, online docs and web content into a knowledge base for AI apps, with chunking, indexing, retrieval tuning, metadata, reranking and citations, testable before any app connects.
No counterpart
Box sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Dify yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Content-layer controls for AI agents that work on Box content: classification-based access for external AI tools today, with prompt-injection prevention, agent perimeters, alerts and MCP guardrails announced as coming soon.
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.
Publishes curated Box content in branded portals where visitors ask questions across hundreds of files and get answers with citations, using Box AI.
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 (the self-hosted Python project is deprecated).
