The latest State of AI in the Enterprise report from Box is out! One year ago, 8% of organizations described themselves as advanced or leading edge in AI. Today that figure is 64%. But adoption is not the same as impact. Half of leading edge companies report significant ROI. Among early stage organizations it is just 1 in 9. We surveyed 1,640 IT decision makers across the US, UK, France, and Japan to find out.

The main variable in getting success with agents is whether you can get the agent the context it needs to do its work; and a major factor in that is if you can create a shared working area for that agent that a human can understand as well. This is one of the reasons why agents using file systems is such a big deal. It creates a unified system that both the person and the agent can work within to pass around data. “What they need is a working set: plans, notes, task lists, policies, drafts, summaries, logs, corrections, decisions, etc. For that layer, a filesystem-shaped interface tends to be more legible to both the model and the humans supervising it.” It turns out giving agents access to the systems we already know how to use, but in a way that is best optimized for them, is the perfect primitive for agents to work.

Generating a document is the easy part. Getting it reviewed, approved, and signed without manual handoffs is where most workflows break down. Our tutorial shows how to chain Box Doc Gen and Box Sign via API to generate an offer letter, route it through an HR approver, and send it for signature automatically.

Aaron Levie, Box CEO @levie "I'M HAVING WAY TOO MUCH FUN WITH AI." "I do way more stuff because of AI. Frankly, I'm exhausted because I'm just signing myself up to more and more work. But I have a fun time using the technology." "There's always something that I've wanted to do that I just haven't had the time for personally, but now AI lets me do it. At 10pm, I can do it on my own." @mshrnakagawa sat down with Aaron to discuss how AI will change the way we work. 0:00 A "Manager of Agents" Is Actually Powerful 1:43 No People Manager in the Era of Agents? 2:42 "Still Need a 10,000-Person Company?" -- Silicon Valley's Big Debate 4:15 Why OpenAI and Anthropic Are Hiring People 6:01 The Fastest-Growing Job: FDEs 7:06 As Long As You Sell to Humans, Jobs Will Grow 8:03 How Aaron's Own Job Has Changed 9:48 "TOO MUCH FUN WITH AI" at 10pm 10:36 Token Problem Is REAL 12:05 "Tokenomics" and the Need for a Model Router 14:24 Why People in the Valley Are Tokenmaxxing? 16:09 The Real Bottleneck: CONTEXT 17:40 "You Don't Have to Record Everything" — How to Feed an Agent

Agents are already reading your enterprise content at a scale no human archive ever faced. The question is whether that content is governed enough to make the answers defensible. Which sources were used. Whether the user was allowed to see them. Whether they were current. Whether the answer can be audited later. Those are not model capabilities. They are content platform capabilities. Read more here.👇 blog.box.com/file-isnt-dyin…

While half of leading-edge companies report significant ROI from AI, only 1 in 9 early-stage organizations can say the same. The gap is not the models. It is what the leaders built around them, including managing agents as a formal digital workforce with defined roles and permissions.
