Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
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.
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.
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.
Writer
Application
Universal context layer that grounds AI agents in a company's Agent Memory (captured decisions and preferences) and Company Standards (brand, tone, compliance), listed in WRITER's own top-level product navigation alongside Models, AI Studio, WRITER Agent and WRITER for Slack.
Reusable, repeatable workflows in WRITER, so a piece of work done once can be run the same way again.
AI agent
An agent that plans and carries out multi-step work across a customer's own data and tools, under enterprise governance controls.
Agent platform
WRITER's build surface: business teams assemble agents on an interoperable platform while technology teams keep visibility and governance over what ships.
Platform
WRITER's retrieval layer. A specialised LLM reads a customer's own documents, spreadsheets, slides and PDFs and builds a graph of the semantic relationships between them rather than storing vector embeddings, so retrieval can follow multi-hop connections, break a broad question into sub-questions and return specific source citations before WRITER's Palmyra models generate the answer.
No counterpart
Box sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Writer yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
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.
