For AI agents to be truly transformative for your business, they need secure, intelligent access to your most valuable asset: your enterprise content. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that today, at Google Cloud’s Gemini at Work event, we’re deepening our partnership with Google Cloud and announcing the Box AI Agent in Gemini Enterprise (Preview), which is now available through Google Cloud Marketplace. This launch marks a fundamental shift towards intelligent agents, allowing you to not just access your content, but make agents an active participant in your automated workflows.
A secure bridge for your enterprise content
For AI to deliver on its promise, it must operate within your enterprise's security and compliance boundaries. The Box AI Agent is designed with this principle at its core. Deployed directly within your own Google Cloud environment, the agent authenticates to your Box instance and securely accesses your files, folders, and Box Hubs while respecting all your existing user permissions and security settings.
Built with the Agent2Agent Protocol (A2A) and the Box MCP server, our agent is designed for interoperability, allowing it to interact seamlessly with other agents in Gemini Enterprise. This enables the creation of powerful, multi-agent systems where your proprietary content can inform and enrich the actions of your other business tools built with Google's powerful Gemini models.
From passive connector to active participant
This isn't just a chatbot; it's an agent of action. The Box AI Agent fundamentally lowers the barrier for incorporating your unstructured content into sophisticated agentic workflows. It empowers you to:
- Search and Synthesize: Instantly search across all your files and Box Hubs to find critical information.
- Question and Understand: Ask complex questions about your content—from research documents and contracts to policy manuals and images—using the power of Box AI.
- Extract and Structure: Automatically pull structured data from unstructured files to populate other systems or trigger new workflows.
- Generate and Store: Create new documents, summaries, and reports based on your findings and save them directly back into Box, completing the workflow loop.
A vision for the future of work
Our collaboration with Google Cloud is rooted in a vision to empower enterprises with secure, practical, and powerful AI. We believe that an open ecosystem where specialized agents can collaborate is the future of automated work.
“Bringing Box’s agent to Google Cloud provides customers with powerful new tools to advance their digital transformation goals,” said Dai Vu, Managing Director, Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs at Google Cloud.
We’re excited to expand our work with Box and see how customers use their technology to innovate.
By combining Box’s intelligent content management with Google Cloud's powerful agentic framework, we are providing our customers with the tools they need to build the next generation of enterprise applications.
Putting the Box AI agent to work across your organization
By shifting from simple retrieval to intelligent action, you can deliver faster, more collaborative workflows across every department.
- For Financial Services firms, an agent can integrate internal market analysis from Box with real-time economic data from another agent, generating comprehensive investment summaries automatically.
- For Life Sciences R&D teams, an agent can query internal research papers in Box and cross-reference them with public patent databases via another agent to identify novel research opportunities and avoid redundant efforts.
- For Public Sector agencies, an agent can process citizen inquiries by pulling relevant policy documents from Box, extracting key information, and interacting with a case management agent to initiate and track a resolution.
