Transforming Workflows with Content as the System of Record

Box Automate transforms how enterprises work by treating content as the system of record, enabling workflows to trigger on document state, metadata, and AI-derived insights rather than relying only on structured fields or manual handoffs. Unlike traditional tools that treat content as static inputs, Box Automate takes action when files are updated and deploys secure AI agents at scale to streamline repetitive and manual tasks. With no code required, Box Automate's intuitive and easy to use drag and drop builder enables customers to quickly design and deploy automations, while ensuring human oversight for critical decisions and AI output verification.

Custom AI Agents and Model Flexibility

Users can also create customized agents in Box AI Studio, leveraging Box AI, Box Agent, and Box Extract, that are easily deployed across Box's secure ecosystem. Additionally, as leading models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google advance, improvements carry forward automatically, saving time and enabling workflows to get smarter without requiring process rebuilds. For enterprises, this means completing in minutes what once took days, with greater accuracy and zero compromise on security.

Use Cases Across the Enterprise

With the power of Box Automate, HR teams can drive employee onboarding by validating documents, extracting key insights, and generating personalized candidate documents; finance teams can streamline invoice management by aggregating data from multiple documents and routing for multi-level approval; legal teams can drive contract intelligence by automating high-volume contract workflows; loan officers can conduct loan processing and underwriting tasks; and federal research agencies can perform operational risk assessments for compliance and controlled access.

As Aaron Levie, Co-founder and CEO of Box, stated: "Today, industries are seeing the biggest AI ROI come from automation. For enterprises, this means completing in minutes what once took days, with greater accuracy and zero compromise on security - reclaiming the hours lost to previously manual and repetitive work. With Box Automate, customers can access Box's entire AI ecosystem to create new content-driven processes that completely reimagine how work gets done. Every individual now has the opportunity to seamlessly drive efficiency at scale."

Evelyn Ngai, Head of GRC at Samsung, added: "We're excited about the potential of Box Automate to transform our onboarding process. It has the potential to make our onboarding workflow far more scalable by processing documents from Greenhouse, Workday, and new hire documents, extracting metadata we choose, and sending it to Box DocGen to generate personalized documents for new employees at scale."

Alan Pelz-Sharpe, founder of Deep Analysis, said: "Box's latest announcements underscore the increasing role of its Intelligent Content Management platform in enterprise automation. Box Automate introduces no-code workflows that route work across people and AI agents, making it easier to reduce manual, repetitive tasks at scale. Together with Box Extract and Box Agent, it strengthens Box's platform for practical, day-to-day automation."
