Box adds AI-driven document query feature to expand beyond storage

Share post:

Box, a cloud content management and file sharing platform, is about to launch a new tool that will allow customers to utilize AI to query their saved documents. According to CEO Aaron Levie, the new Box AI function marks the company’s most significant chance to extend beyond its beginnings as a storage provider.

Customers will be able to ask comprehensive questions of their stored data in the initial implementation of Box AI, such as identifying the riskiest piece of a marketing campaign or assessing if a given action would breach a specific contract. Customers will also be able to summarize and translate information using the functionality. In addition, the business will introduce a feature to Box Notes to let customers create new documents.

Box AI’s first features are powered by OpenAI’s engine. The company’s AI engine delivers responses based only on information from a specific document saved on Box. OpenAI does not save the papers, and no data is utilized to train its algorithms.

Box hopes to introduce more AI engines in the future, with ambitions to allow clients to query across a variety of documents. However, the company has not disclosed the final cost of its AI features. Box AI is now in restricted partner preview, with the business hoping to sign up tens or hundreds of clients to test the capabilities in the coming months.
