Announcing new Box AI extract agents released Feb 19, 2025 in Enterprise Plus tiers and above. Box AI extract agents manifest in three key areas: UI Preview and Box Apps (available in Enterprise Advanced tier), and the extract API (available in Enterprise Plus tiers and above). Each of these components plays a crucial role in enhancing user experience and operational efficiency.
1. Extract agents in UI Preview
With Box Preview, you can view files in any Box application without downloading them to your device. The integration of Box AI extract agents via an autofill capability in the Preview sidebar allows for one-click extraction of the content’s metadata, minimizing manual steps and streamlining the workflow even further.
2. Extract agents in Box Apps
Box Apps, together with Box AI extract agents with the autofill capability, significantly reduces the time and effort spent on adding, analyzing, and modifying metadata. By leveraging the power of AI to minimize manual and error prone processes, these tools replace traditional approaches to metadata extraction with AI-powered solutions that ensure high-quality and accuracy.
3. Extract agents via API
For additional flexibility and customization, the Box AI extract API extends intelligent metadata extraction capabilities across your technology stack while ensuring consistent and accurate results. In addition, the extract API allows you to choose your own model from a selection of best-in-class AI models. This capability is particularly beneficial for sophisticated use cases where customers desire a "Choose Your Own Model" (CYOM) approach to leverage the latest models from supported providers including OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.
Box AI extract agents enable organizations to integrate metadata extraction into custom and third-party applications and also facilitate better management of documents and adherence to regulatory requirements. By automatically extracting key details from content stored on Box, businesses can streamline compliance efforts and improve overall document management.
- Property management firms can pull out key information such as expiration date, contract amount, etc. from customer agreements and drive key renewal decisions and contract workflows.
