Box on This Week in Tech (Audio)

our show today brought to you by Box. You know that name. If you're an enterprise trying to transform your business with AI, you're likely facing an all too common challenge. Most AI tools are good at public knowledge. That's what they're trained on. But do they know your business? No, of course not. Do they know your product roadmaps? Well, how would they? Your sales materials, your HR policies? I hope not. Your financial models, the content that actually makes your company run. Well, they can. This is where Box comes in. Box is building the intelligent content management platform for the AI era. And you're going to love this because it serves as a secure, essential context layer for Box's AI agents to access the unique institutional knowledge that makes a company run. Public models, your information securely stored as a context layer inside Box, That's the way to do it. That's the key idea. The power of AI doesn't come just from the model alone. It starts with the model, but it comes from giving that model access to the right enterprise content. Your source of truth, right? Box's recent State of AI in the Enterprise Report found that 96% of organizations say agents need access to company-specific data. That's almost everybody, but only 36% have connected agents to trusted content across many use cases. Everybody knows you need to do it, but so few do. Well, Box makes it easy. Box goes beyond file storage to connect content to people, apps, and AI agents so teams can turn information into action. With tools like Box Agent, Box Extract, Box Hubs, and more, organizations can accelerate knowledge work They can pull intelligence from unstructured content and automate workflows. Box Agent is a unified AI experience across all your files. It can understand your natural language prompts. It could pull the right content and help you work through the task. I have to say, it's been my own experience that the model alone is not enough. Supplying it with knowledge about yourself, about your business, turns it into such a useful tool. For agents both inside and outside box, including tools, by the way, you're not stuck with any one model like ChatGPT, Copilot, you can use Gemini, you can use AgentForce, you can use custom agents. Box becomes the trusted content and file layer by its platform APIs. It has an MCP server. It has CLI. So these agents can use that information and it stays secure. It stays in your enterprise. It doesn't get exfiltrated out to the AI. For enterprises, the trust layer is everything. Box is built with security, with compliance, with governance and threat protection in mind. So employees and agents only access the information they're authorized to use. That's vital. If you're thinking seriously about your company's AI transformation journey, think beyond the model. That's not enough. Your business lives in your content and Box helps you bring that content securely into the AI era. This is one of the really important insights that helps AI become so valuable to your business. Visit box.com slash AI if you want to learn more. Box.com slash AI. Box.com slash AI.
