Find files without browsing folders
Email or text Carly to find a file in Box by name, keyword, or description. She searches across your folders and sends you the file or a direct link — no navigating the folder tree.
Share links with the right permissions
Tell Carly to generate a Box share link for a file or folder and specify the access level — view only, edit, or download. She creates the link and sends it back ready to forward.
Check and update folder permissions
Ask Carly who has access to a Box folder or file. She pulls the collaborator list with permission levels and can add or remove people on your instruction.
Pull recent file activity
Ask Carly what's been uploaded, modified, or shared in a Box folder recently. She sends you a summary of recent activity — useful for project check-ins or keeping tabs on shared workspaces.
Why teams are using AI to manage Box
Box is the enterprise standard for cloud content management — secure file storage, granular permissions, compliance controls, and workflows built around documents. But that enterprise-grade structure comes with overhead. Finding the right file means navigating nested folders or hoping search pulls up what you need. Sharing a file means opening Box, locating the document, generating a link, and setting the right access level.
AI tools for Box should cut through the folder hierarchy and permission complexity. Instead of logging into Box every time someone asks for a file or you need to check who has access to a folder, you should be able to send a quick message and get the answer or action in seconds. The files stay organized and secure — you just stop spending time navigating to get there.
How Carly works as your AI Box assistant
Carly connects to your Box account through the API. Once connected, you manage your files and folders over email or text — like having an assistant who knows your entire Box file structure.
Need to send a client the latest version of a proposal? Email Carly and she finds the file in Box and sends you a share link with the access level you specify. Can't remember which folder a contract lives in? Text Carly with what you remember and she searches across your Box account. Want to know what's been uploaded to a project folder this week? Ask Carly and she pulls the recent activity.
Because Carly works across 200+ tools, she can connect your Box files to the rest of your workflow. She can attach a Box file link in a Slack message, reference a document when updating a task in Asana, or pull a file you need before a meeting she sees on your calendar.
Who uses Carly with Box
Operations and legal teams who manage hundreds of folders in Box and spend too much time locating the right document. Project managers who need to share files with external collaborators quickly without fumbling through permission settings. Executives who want a file pulled up before a meeting without opening Box themselves. If your team relies on Box for document management but the navigation slows you down, Carly gets you to the right file faster.
