Box AI Studio

Box AI Studio is Box's no-code and API surface for creating, configuring and managing custom AI agents built on Box's AI Agent framework. Box documents it as available only for Enterprise Advanced accounts, administered from the Box AI section of the Admin Console (AI Studio tab) and exposed through the Box AI Studio API endpoints POST/GET/PUT/DELETE /2.0/ai_agents. It is distinct from the Box AI API default agent configurations and from Box Extract.

  Custom agents created in Box AI Studio are reusable, named AI assistants configured with a description, custom instructions, attached Box knowledge (files and Hubs), up to four suggested prompts, availability across Box surfaces (AI Home, Files, Hubs), an AI Unit usage limit, and an AI model selection (Auto or a model enabled in the organisation), with Pro Mode enabled by default for higher thinking levels and advanced behaviours such as recursive reasoning and enhanced document or video analysis. Through the Box AI Studio API an agent is an ai_agent object with name, access_state, optional icon_reference, allowed_entities (users or groups) and per-mode configuration for ask, text_gen and extract. Box documents the agent runtime as answering questions, generating text and extracting metadata from Box content; Box does not document a Box AI Studio custom agent itself creating, modifying, moving, deleting or sharing Box content, and states that guardrails for Box AI Studio agent actions and MCP tools are "coming soon". Persistent results such as saving an AI response as a Note or inserting content into a Note are documented as user-invoked actions.
