Box is a cloud content-management platform for storing, securing, and collaborating on enterprise files, which has layered generative-AI features on top of its existing storage and workflow tools. Aaron Levie and Dylan Smith founded the company in 2005 in Redwood City, California; it went public on the NYSE in 2015 and Levie remains CEO.
Box AI, available on Enterprise-tier plans, runs document summarization, content Q&A, and draft generation directly against files stored in Box without exporting them to a separate tool, plus AI agents built for deep-research tasks across a company's document library. The underlying platform still handles the content-lifecycle basics, including version control, granular permissions, e-signature, and workflow automation, that made Box a standard in regulated industries before AI features existed.
It fits enterprises and regulated industries, such as legal, healthcare, and financial services, that need AI features applied to files without those files leaving a controlled, audited environment. Pricing spans a free Individual plan through Business Starter at $5/user/month, Business at $15, Business Plus at $25, up to Enterprise at $35/user/month and above, where Box AI capabilities become available.
