As enterprises look to unlock more value from the vast volumes of unstructured content they manage every day, intelligent content platforms are becoming a critical layer in the MarTech and enterprise data stack. Box has announced the general availability of Box Extract, a new capability designed to help organizations transform enterprise content into structured, actionable data that can drive faster decisions and automation at scale.
Box, Inc., the company behind the Intelligent Content Management platform, introduced Box Extract as a way for enterprises to securely pull high value information from documents and store it as metadata directly within Box. Powered by generative AI models from Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI, and combined with agentic AI capabilities, Box Extract is built to help organizations automate workflows, improve access to insights, and reduce the manual effort traditionally required to process complex documents.
“Enterprises are sitting on a gold mine of data in their untapped content,” said Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box. “With Box Extract, that information is now unlocked and can transform how businesses analyze information and make decisions. By turning unstructured content into structured, usable data, organizations can deliver real-world impact by having their content actively work for them across their most important lines of business.”

Enterprise knowledge is often embedded in contracts, policy documents, forms, charts, and product specifications that are difficult to analyze using traditional tools. Until recently, extracting insights from this content relied heavily on manual review or legacy technologies that were costly and difficult to scale. Box Extract addresses these challenges by understanding both the structure and meaning of documents, allowing it to identify and extract critical information from paragraphs, tables, and charts rather than simply scanning text.
Organizations can also create custom Extract Agents tailored to specific business needs and deploy them securely across large volumes of content. The structured data generated by Box Extract is stored alongside files in Box as metadata and can be synced to external analytics and data platforms such as Databricks and Snowflake, enabling broader use across enterprise systems.
Early adopters are already seeing tangible benefits. “In the financial services industry, we work with highly sensitive data that demands the highest levels of security,” said Geoff Moore, CIO at Valmark Financial Group. “Box Extract pairs enterprise-grade security controls with the deep subject matter expertise of our employees to extract data from unstructured sources and transform it into actionable insights securely. By mining information from sources such as account forms, insurance illustrations, and commission statements, we’ve achieved exceptional gains in both efficiency and accuracy.”

Public sector organizations are also applying the technology to improve service delivery. “Every day, we process vast amounts of unstructured documents that are critical to serving Texans efficiently,” said Wendy Barron, CIO at Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. “With Box AI, we’re now able to automatically extract key information from forms and records, reduce manual review, and accelerate our workflows, all while maintaining the security and compliance standards required of a public agency. Implementing modern AI tools has helped our team focus less on paperwork and more on delivering timely services to the public.”
With Box Extract now generally available, Box is positioning its platform as a foundation for turning enterprise content into a source of real time intelligence. By embedding AI driven extraction directly into content workflows, Box Extract highlights how intelligent content management is evolving from storage and collaboration toward a more active role in powering automation, analytics, and decision making across the enterprise.
