Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

Box

AI agent

Box AI AgentsAI 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.

Platform

Box AIPlatform

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.

Mintlify

Application

Mintlify AssistantApplication

AI chat assistant embedded in generated documentation sites that answers reader questions grounded in the docs' own content, built on Mintlify's indexing.

AI agent
