Introducing Box Extract: Get actionable data from enterprise content at scale

Your organization runs on content, but it’s the actionable information within that content that keeps things moving. 

Companies are used to manually extracting the intelligence locked away within contracts, invoices, claims forms, and onboarding documents, but this process is tedious, expensive, error-prone, and impractical to scale. Traditional OCR and legacy IDP tools promise automation but lack true understanding. They demand extensive training and maintenance, and quickly break down as quality of content, handwriting, and document formats change. The sad result: unstructured content stays dark and business slows to a crawl. 

That’s why today we’re excited to launch Box Extract. 

Box Extract is AI-powered data extraction that combines state-of-the-art models with advanced OCR capabilities and agentic extraction approaches. It automatically and accurately extracts information from content and saves it on Box as metadata — helping teams automate end-to-end business processes, find the right information at the right time, and make smarter decisions. The happier result: more data and higher quality at enterprise scale. 

 

Understand meaning and context, not just patterns

When it comes to document processing, generative AI has changed the game.

We aren’t just pattern-matching anymore. Today’s agentic systems fundamentally understand language, context, and intent. They can deduce things like customer sentiment from a project report or the risk level of a given contract. 

These kinds of insights previously required human expertise and manual review. Now you can simply ask AI, “Are there hazardous chemicals in this inventory list?” or “Is this script family-friendly?” Box Extract brings this intelligence to your content at scale, instantly answering questions that once took hours to resolve.

Get high-quality data you can count on

For your business to run smoothly, you need high-quality data. Box Extract delivers it by combining leading AI models — including Google Gemini 3, Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5, and OpenAI’s GPT 5.2I — with advanced techniques like integrated OCR, chain-of-thought prompting, extraction-specific retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI graders. These work together to automatically and iteratively improve the quality of extracted data until you achieve your desired accuracy levels. 

You also have the flexibility to choose which Box Extract Agent best balances the accuracy you need to achieve with the budget you need to follow:

  • The Box Standard Extract Agent for simpler, smaller files or documents with less than 50 pages and for extraction of fewer than 20 fields.
  • The Box Enhanced Extract Agent for longer, more complex files with more than 50 pages and for extraction of over 20 fields.

Whether you’re processing a handful of standard documents or thousands of dense custom contracts, Box Extract gives you the right tool for the job.

 

Scale to enterprise volume

Box Extract operates at enterprise scale without adding operational complexity. 

You can configure Custom Extract Agents and assign them to multiple folders within Box, automatically triggering extraction processes when content lands in those specific folders. For instance, invoices landing in intake folders can immediately be processed  so extracted data can feed downstream actions.

Additionally, developers building integrations with third party applications or developing custom apps can process documents at scale and leverage the extracted data wherever the business needs it. 

These capabilities significantly improve your organization's operational efficiency.

 

Turn extracted data into action across your business

Structured data doesn’t stop at extraction. With Box you can leverage this rich data to:

  • Automate workflows with Box Relay and, soon, Box Automate — routing tasks, generating documents, and more.
  • Power intelligent applications in Box Apps with metadata-based views, enabling users to find content faster, get instant insights, and make smarter decisions.
  • Accelerate search and streamline content discovery for every Box user.
  • Export data instantly to third party applications like Salesforce, Databricks, Snowflake, and more.

The impact can be measured in time savings, higher accuracy, reduced reliance on manual review, and the ability to scale operations without increasing headcount. 

 

Drive results across every industry 

There are as many ways to wield high-quality, scalable data extraction as there are industries, and companies within them.  

Financial services teams can use Box Extract for loan origination, enabling the extraction of due dates and terms to accelerate payments, reconciliation, and loan servicing.  

Government and public sector organizations can extract permitting, records, grant, and procurement data to track deadlines, ensure compliance, and respond faster to constituents. 

Media and entertainment teams can apply Box Extract to production files and creative assets — scripts, talent agreements, client briefs — to extract details like titles, writers, rights holders, and scene keywords.  

Insurance carriers can automatically extract claim and policy data from documents and images as soon as they arrive in Box, instantly routing claims, pre-filling cases, and accelerating resolution.  

Legal teams can instantly process long contracts, capture key details, and apply them as metadata — enabling enhanced contract management. 
 

 

We went from pulling just 4,000 data points annually from ‘dark data’ in policies to extracting over 240,000, thanks to Box Extract.
