Today’s enterprises are eager to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to drive innovation and efficiency. However, many organizations implement generic solutions that fail to meet basic business needs, like aligning with brand tone and adhering to their specific compliance requirements. Businesses also struggle with integrating AI tools into existing workflows, leading to a lack of user adoption and efficiency.

Examples of Box AI Studio in action
Learn about best practices in writing your custom instructions
Imagine a sales team equipped with an AI agent called SalesBot, which helps streamline their sales process. By customizing instructions for SalesBot, they empower their agent to generate personalized sales pitches tailored to specific customer segments. The agent does this by analyzing customer data and contracts to identify potential upselling and cross-selling opportunities.
In life sciences, clinicians, scientists, and researchers typically have to comb through medical data to manually identify patterns from different documents — and content types like research papers, scanned medical journals, and medical images. Now, an AI agent with custom instructions can quickly analyze vast amounts of clinical trial data across content types to identify patterns and help researchers identify potential drug interactions. And it can do so in a way that is objective, data-driven, and scientifically rigorous.This AI functionality can optimize clinical trial design, surface key findings and potential implications much quicker (and ultimately help reduce costs).

Box AI Studio FAQs
What is Box AI Studio?
Box AI Studio is a no-code tool that lets your admins build custom AI agents tailored to your specific workflows — no developers required. Each agent is grounded in your organization's own content stored in Box, so the answers it produces are accurate, relevant, and based only on information your team is authorized to see. You configure the agent's role, provide custom instructions that shape how it reasons and responds, and connect it to the relevant content in Box that serves as its knowledge. Deploy an agent in minutes, then scale it across your organization without writing a single line of code.
What is Box AI Studio used for?
Teams use Box AI Studio to build purpose-built agents that automate time-consuming knowledge work. Legal teams can build agents that review contracts in minutes instead of hours. Sales teams can create agents that respond to RFPs the same day. HR teams can build policy Q&A agents that answer employee questions instantly. Finance and compliance teams can run document analysis and proactive monitoring — all grounded in your organization's content, with no shadow AI risk.
How does Box AI Studio work?
Box AI Studio gives you a guided, no-code interface to configure a custom AI agent. You define the agent's role, provide custom instructions that shape how it reasons and responds, and connect it to the relevant content in Box — up to 10 files or a Box Hub — that serves as its knowledge base. Box AI then grounds every response in that authorized content, so your agent acts like a domain expert for your business, not a generic chatbot. Once you've tested it, you deploy it to your team in minutes.
Do I need coding or technical skills to use Box AI Studio?
No. Box AI Studio is built for admins, not developers. You configure agents through a standardized, point-and-click interface — no coding, no infrastructure setup, and no data science team required. That shifts AI development from IT backlogs to the people closest to the problem — so you go from idea to deployed agent in minutes.
What makes Box AI Studio different from other AI tools?
Most AI tools are trained on public data and have no context about your business. Box AI Studio agents are grounded in your organization's own content — the contracts, policies, proposals, and records your teams work with every day. That means responses are specific, accurate, and relevant to your business, not generic.
And because Box AI operates within your existing Box permissions framework, every agent respects the access controls you've already set — so the right people get the right answers, and sensitive content stays protected. Your content is never used to train public AI models.
Is Box AI Studio secure?
Yes. Every agent you build in Box AI Studio runs within Box's enterprise-grade security and compliance framework — including FedRAMP High, HIPAA, and SOC standards. AI-generated responses are based only on content the user is authorized to access. Box also provides audit trails, prompt injection protection, and safety detection to prevent data leakage. You get the productivity benefits of AI without the governance risk of shadow AI.
What AI models does Box AI Studio support?
With Box AI Studio, you choose the AI model that fits your needs — OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, or xAI Grok — without locking into a single vendor. You can select the model that best fits your use case, your compliance requirements, or your existing enterprise agreements. Teams in regulated industries often choose Anthropic Claude for its strong reasoning on complex documents and emphasis on safety; others prefer OpenAI for speed and breadth. As the AI landscape evolves, you're not stuck with yesterday's choice.
What is a custom AI agent?
A custom AI agent is a purpose-built AI assistant configured to handle a specific task or domain for your business. Unlike a general-purpose chatbot, a custom agent built in Box AI Studio understands your organization's terminology, processes, and content. It reasons, plans, and completes multi-step work — like reviewing a contract, answering a policy question, or drafting a proposal — grounded in the content you've authorized it to use. Every output is traceable back to a source document in Box, so your teams can validate and trust what the agent produces.
How does Box AI Studio help prevent shadow AI?
When employees can't get AI tools approved through IT, they find their own — and that creates real data risk. Box AI Studio gives your IT and security teams a governed path to deploy AI across the organization. Every agent runs within Box's permissions framework, so sensitive content never leaves your control. Admins can monitor usage, enforce policies, and scale AI adoption confidently — without worrying about unauthorized tools accessing company data. And because Box AI never trains on your content, your proprietary information stays exclusively yours.
What is Box AI Studio and how does it fit into the Box platform?
Box AI Studio is Box's no-code agent-building tool, built directly into our Intelligent Content Management platform. It lets your teams build custom AI agents that work where your content already lives — no data migration, no separate AI infrastructure, and no new tools to manage. Because Box is the single source of truth for your organization's content, agents built in Box AI Studio are grounded in accurate, up-to-date information from day one. It's AI that works with your content, not around it. To see Box AI Studio in action, request a demo or talk to your Box account team.
How does Box AI Studio connect to Box Automate and other Box products?
Box AI Studio is part of a broader set of AI capabilities built into our Intelligent Content Management platform. Connect agents you build in Box AI Studio to Box Automate to trigger end-to-end workflows — like automatically routing a contract for review after an agent extracts key clauses, or kicking off an onboarding sequence when an HR agent processes a new hire document.
Box Automate is natively agentic: it's built from the ground up to leverage Box AI Studio capabilities, so as the AI platform evolves, your workflows automatically inherit new capabilities without redesigning automation logic. Together, Box AI Studio and Box Automate let you move from one-off AI tasks to full agentic workflows that run on your content automatically.
How do I get started with Box AI Studio?
Box AI Studio is included with Box Enterprise. Admins can access it directly within Box and start building custom agents right away — no additional setup required. Custom agents you build and use through the Box UI are included at no extra cost; usage-based pricing applies only when accessing custom agents via the Box AI API. To see Box AI Studio in action, request a demo or talk to your Box account team about enabling it for your organization.
