What can an AI teammate do with Box?

An AI teammate can browse your Box folders, search for files, read and summarize document contents, upload new files, create folders, and move or rename existing files. Read operations happen automatically, while any write action (like uploading or moving a file) always requires your explicit approval before it runs.

Is my Box data safe when connected to an AI teammate?

Yes. The AI teammate only accesses the files and folders it needs for a specific task, using Box's official OAuth API. Write actions require your approval, and you can revoke access at any time from your Box account settings.

Can the AI teammate work with files inside shared folders?

Yes, as long as the connected Box account has access to those shared folders, the AI teammate can read and interact with them. Permissions are fully governed by Box's own access controls.

What file types can the AI teammate read and summarize?

The AI teammate can read and summarize text-based files such as PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, text files, and other common document formats that Box supports for preview. Binary or media files like images and videos can be listed and moved but not read for content.
