“In the financial services industry, we work with highly sensitive data that demands the highest levels of security,” said Geoff Moore, CIO at Valmark Financial Group. “Box Extract pairs enterprise-grade security controls with the deep subject matter expertise of our employees to extract data from unstructured sources and transform it into actionable insights securely.

“Every day, we process vast amounts of unstructured documents that are critical to serving Texans efficiently,” said Wendy Barron, CIO at Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. “With Box AI, we’re now able to automatically extract key information from forms and records, reduce manual review, and accelerate our workflows, all while maintaining the security and compliance standards required of a public agency. Implementing modern AI tools has helped our team focus less on paperwork and more on delivering timely services to the public.”
Box Extract overcomes limitations of legacy extraction tools by understanding document structure and meaning, breaking down components, and intelligently identifying key information. Custom Extract Agents enable organizations to define extraction rules specific to their content types and deploy them securely at scale. Extracted data becomes actionable metadata within Box, powering internal dashboards, automated workflows, enhanced search, and integration with systems like Databricks and Snowflake.
Use cases include accelerating loan origination in financial services, streamlining permit and contract processing in government, extracting critical details from accident reports in insurance, identifying clauses in legal documents, and managing creative assets in media and entertainment.
