Products, side by side
Hand-checked pairing
Box
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.
Dropbox
Application
AI-powered universal search and knowledge workspace that connects a team's files, messages and apps into one searchable index.
AI calendar application that automatically schedules tasks, habits, meetings and breaks across Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar.
No counterpart
Box sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Dropbox yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
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.
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.
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.
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.
