Box has spoken a new integration with Microsoft 365 Copilot in a move that will see the cloud storage visitor tap into some of the most powerful generative AI technology available.
With the new integration, Box hopes its customers will be worldly-wise to find content increasingly easily, reducing wasted time spent searching and reading to find the right information.
At the same time, the visitor spoken enhanced integrations with other Microsoft 365 products, including Microsoft Teams and OneDrive, helping uncurl the two platforms increasingly closely together.
Box really wants you to use Microsoft 365
With the improved capabilities, customers will now be worldly-wise to share and edit Box Notes from inside Teams Chats and Channels which is hoped to make real-time online collaboration plane slicker using Redmond’s video conferencing platform.
Those on Microsoft’s Version 2302 release will moreover be worldly-wise to interreact using desktop apps for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, without having to wangle the web apps, in turn providing users will a fuller version of the office software while retaining Box syncing capabilities, rather than using Microsoft’s own deject storage.
In terms of Microsoft 365 Copilot, the AI chatbot will work via a plugin to summarize Box documents in Teams. It will moreover help workers to summarize Chats and Channels without having to go through those painfully long (and often waffly) threads.
This, of course, is in wing to Box AI which was spoken older this year. Box CPO Diego Dugatkin said:
“Integrating with Microsoft 365 Copilot is a natural extension of our AI strategy, and our existing collaboration will indulge joint customers to use Box and Microsoft 365 Copilot together seamlessly.”
Box says that the Microsoft 365 Copilot plugin will wilt misogynist when Microsoft turns on the service to eligible customers, but desktop co-authoring is once misogynist to try.
