For many organizations, Box.com serves as a central repository for important files and documents. However, as the volume of data grows, finding specific information can become increasingly challenging. This is where Dashworks steps in, offering a powerful AI-driven search solution that simplifies the process of finding Box files and content.

The Challenge of Searching Box Content

While Box provides basic search functionality, users often face several hurdles when trying to locate specific information:

  1. Limited search capabilities within Box itself
  2. Difficulty in searching across multiple file types
  3. Inability to search file contents, especially for PDFs and other complex documents
  4. Time-consuming process of opening multiple files to find relevant information
  5. Challenges in remembering exact file names or locations

These pain points can lead to frustration and significant time waste for employees, ultimately impacting productivity and efficiency.

Dashworks: AI-Powered Search for Box

Dashworks addresses these challenges by providing an advanced AI search and question-answering system that works seamlessly with Box. Here’s how Dashworks improves the Box search experience:

1. Comprehensive Content Search

Dashworks doesn’t just search file names – it dives deep into the content of your Box files. Whether you’re looking for information in documents, spreadsheets, presentations, or PDFs, Dashworks can find it.

2. Natural Language Understanding

Instead of relying on exact keyword matches, Dashworks uses advanced natural language processing to understand the intent behind your queries. This means you can ask questions in plain English and get accurate results.

3. Real-Time Search Across Multiple Apps

Dashworks doesn’t just search Box – it can simultaneously search across all your organization’s work apps like Slack, Google Drive, and Salesforce. This unified approach ensures you get the most comprehensive and up-to-date information.

4. AI-Powered Question Answering

Beyond just finding files, Dashworks can actually answer questions based on the content of your Box documents. This saves you time by providing direct answers without the need to open and read through multiple files.

Dashworks’ Box integration is designed for seamless operation and quick setup. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Easy Setup: Connect your Box account to Dashworks in just a few clicks. No complex configuration required.
  • Real-Time Search: Dashworks uses Box’s API to perform real-time searches, ensuring you always get the most up-to-date results.
  • Comprehensive Metadata Search: Dashworks searches through various metadata fields including file names, descriptions, created and modified dates, and more.

Dashworks in Action: Real-World Use Cases

Let’s look at some practical examples of how Dashworks can improve your Box search experience:

  1. Finding Specific Information in Large Documents: Instead of scrolling through a 100-page report, ask Dashworks, “What were our Q3 sales figures for the West region?” Dashworks will find and extract the relevant information from your Box files.
  2. Locating the Latest Version of a File: Simply ask, “Where is the most recent version of our company handbook?” Dashworks will identify the latest version across all your Box folders.
  3. Cross-Referencing Information: Ask Dashworks, “What did our customers say about product X in recent surveys?” It will search through survey results, feedback forms, and related documents in Box to provide a comprehensive answer.
  4. Quickly Accessing Relevant Policies: Rather than digging through folders, ask, “What’s our policy on remote work?” Dashworks will find and summarize the relevant information from your HR documents stored in Box.

Dashworks’ Slack Integration: Box Search at Your Fingertips

For teams that rely on Slack for communication, Dashworks offers a powerful Slack integration. This feature brings the power of AI-driven Box search directly into your Slack workspace:

  • Comprehensive Answers: Get information from Box, along with related data from other apps like Salesforce, Confluence, or Google Drive.
