How it works

Connected in a minute. In your control after that.

  1. Connect Box

    Open Connections, find Box and press Connect. You sign in on Box's own page; there's nothing to configure.

  2. Choose what it may do

    Full, Ask first or Read-only, for the whole workspace. Share Box with the team, or keep it under each person's own login.

  3. Ask from anywhere

    Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, message it in Slack or the app, or put a Box job on a schedule: every morning, every Friday.

Works with your other tools

Box, together with the rest of your stack.

Ask for an outcome that spans apps and your agent pulls from each one, cross-checks them and sends back one answer.
