we will soon update the Custom Extract Agent builder experience for end users within Box Extract, introducing the same agent building experience that was introduced as part of the AI-Generated Metadata Templates but without the ability to create a metadata template, providing a cleaner, more intuitive workflow for creating and testing Custom Extract Agents.
When selecting "Custom Extract Agent" from the "New" button, end users will be displayed with the new Custom Extract Agent builder experience, which provides them with a split view that allows them to select an existing metadata template and begin defining fields and field properties, including field name, field type, and AI instruction and prompts for more accurate extraction results. Users can also upload sample files to provide a more seamless agent building experience with the ability to view the types of files end users wish to extract data from as they build out the fields and field properties. When editing fields and field properties in the configuration menu, bounding boxes will be displayed to illustrate where the data will be extracted from on the files.
Additionally, end users will be able to text extraction results directly from the Custom Extract Agent builder experience to fine tune results for higher accuracy.
Stay tuned to learn more about this release.
