As you can see, we’re super excited for the GA of Box AI. But don’t take our word for it:
"Not too long ago we were all talking about the business imperative to embracing digital transformation; bringing legacy workflows and processes into a cloud content platform that enables access and collaboration on essential business information from anywhere along with the ability to share content securely, and seamlessly. As the leader in this space, we chose Box to ensure we could achieve our transformation and without knowing it at the time, this would be a critical decision that allowed us to maintain business continuity during an unforeseen global pandemic. We see Box AI as a similarly massive value-add to our technology stack, where we may not know all the ways generative AI will change our lives in the future, but we’re on the rocket ship of AI advancements just by being a Box customer." — Matt Hoey, Assistant Vice President of Technology, Marx|Okubo Associates, Inc.
