Google Cloud Next 2025: How Box and Google Cloud are transforming enterprise content with AI

Content is the lifeblood of every enterprise—powering decisions, workflows, and collaboration across industries. Yet, much of this information remains trapped in unstructured formats, spread across systems, and difficult to extract meaningful insights from. Companies spend countless hours manually tagging, sorting, and integrating their content into business applications—time that could be spent driving innovation.

At Google Cloud Next 2025, Box and Google Cloud are solving this challenge with AI-powered metadata extraction. By leveraging Google’s Gemini AI models and deep integration with Google Agentspace, we’re enabling enterprises to automatically extract insights, categorize content, and seamlessly integrate metadata into key business systems like Salesforce, BigQuery, and Vertex AI Search.

AI-powered insights with Gemini

At the core of Box’s partnership with Google Cloud is the Gemini family of models. Box leverages Gemini 2.0 Flash to extract valuable business data from content stored within the platform — processing files across your organization with remarkable speed and efficiency. Since it went live, this capability has been used millions of times, rapidly becoming one of our most popular AI-driven features. Innovations like Gemini 2.5 Pro present new opportunities to push the boundaries of enhanced reasoning and automation — accelerating how businesses unlock insights and act on their most valuable information with even greater impact.

The Box AI extract agents are natively built into Box experiences - and available to customers on the Enterprise Advanced Plan. With a click of a button, users can instantly extract critical information from long, dense documents, as well as images, validate the accuracy of the info, and save it into metadata - readily available right alongside the content. For example:

• Sales teams can attach metadata to contracts, use it to inform AI agents, integrate key information into CRMs, and automate sales workflows.
• Financial services firms can analyze financial files and customer documents to identify gaps and accelerate customer onboarding.
• Global travel agencies can extract key details from diverse files (across airlines, languages, etc.) and integrate them into in-house travel systems.
• Operations teams can extract metadata from invoices to automate processing and streamline vendor lifecycle management.
• Life sciences organizations can extract insights from clinical studies to help streamline product development.

Box AI extract is generally available, with large mutual customers already expressing strong enthusiasm. For example, Miller Tanner & Associates is saving upwards of 800 hours annually by leveraging Box AI extract agents.

Agentic enterprise workflows with Google Agentspace and Agent2Agent Protocol 

Building on our deep partnership with Google Cloud, Box is partnering with Google Agentspace to further transform how enterprises interact with their content. Agentspace provides an interoperable foundation that allows organizations to connect agents and data from across their technology stack to support dynamic collaboration between agents in real time. By combining Box’s Intelligent Content Management platform with the Agentspace ecosystem of agents, and Google’s Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol, customer can interact, automate, and deliver intelligent business insights across previously siloed systems. Together, we’re helping enterprises move beyond isolated AI use cases — empowering them to orchestrate complex processes and unlocking the full potential of their content.

Box content can now be referenced as a data source in Agentspace through the Agentspace and Box data connector, allowing customers to surface Box content alongside other business data and seamlessly integrate it into AI-driven workflows. Looking ahead, Box plans to publish its own agents on Agentspace, leveraging Google’s open source Agent-to-Agent Protocol to enable dynamic collaboration between agents across platforms. This will unlock entirely new, cross-system workflows — allowing Box customers to not only extract intelligence from their content but also orchestrate complex business processes across the entire Agentspace ecosystem. With these integrations:

• Insurance agents can accelerate claims processing by extracting information from content in Box and combining it with proprietary data to generate settlement reports.
• Marketing managers can accelerate new pitches with assets in Box, public information from the web, and commercial information from their companies.
• Sales teams can streamline renewals by extract contract terms with Box and pairing them with information from their CRMs to create real time analysis and plans.
