The MAD Podcast with Matt Turck · Box’s Big AI Leap: Aaron Levie on Agents & the Future of Work · 17 Apr 2025 podcast

You know, uh a rag, um, uh a document rag system for chatting with documents, you know, we're in the ascent on the early pragmatist to the to the pragmatist side.

Um a uh you know, an AI outbound sales rep, early adopter.

So so I think every everything needs to kind of be looked at through this curve, and then you'll

kind of figure out, you know, where where we're at in uh in that acceleration.

Yeah.

So um so the way to think about boxes, we're a platform that helps you store, share, manage, collaborate on data.

We have a layer of, you know, security, we have a layer of file permissions, we have a layer of data governance.

So that's what we've been working on for, you know, basically two decades.

What we added was a layer uh which is just we call it the AI platform.

Uh, and it has kind of all the plumbing that that you would expect you would need to do to be able to work on content.

In AI, uh in an AI uh uh uh context.

And so uh so what do you need to be able to do?

Well, you need to be able to like, you know, uh some of it some of it by the way benefits directly from other use cases we've had.

So for instance, for 15 years, you click on a document, you see it in your browser.

Well, why is that possible?

It's because we have a conversion engine, takes the Word doc, makes it into a PDF, we stream the PDF to the browser with with PDF.js, and and that's how you get it.

Well, guess what?

In that process, you've extract we've we've we we can easily do text extraction.

We can then do the embeddings on that text extraction.

So that's a service that that largely was built out for a different reason that now we kind of have as a standing start.
