Where there's a Skill there's a way: Piloting Box's new AI feature

#artificialintelligence

In a world where our content is increasingly digital, it feels like searching for an exact piece of information should be simple. However, when was the last time you scrolled through your phone's photos to look for a specific moment but had trouble finding it? While content is becoming more accessible, the volume has made searching tougher. This past October, cloud storage company Box announced a new feature called Skills, which uses artificial intelligence to make content like photos and video "smarter." When we saw this, we thought it had the potential to help residents and city staff more efficiently search the vast video archives of our city meetings. We explain more below, but if you want to jump straight to the experience, here are our Box Skills-enabled videos: San Jose Smart Cities & Service Improvements Committee meetings.

Box CEO Aaron Levie has always had a vision for the company that extended well beyond its earliest use case as way to transfer files between machines online. His company has continually kept looking to the future at ways the Box toolset could adapt to the changing needs of the market. More than a decade after launching the company and almost three years after going public, the company continues to evolve. Today at the BoxWorks customer conference, that vision took a considerable step forward with the announcement of a new artificial intelligence toolkit called Box Skills. The tools are aimed at multimedia -- video, audio and photos -- and enable customers to mix and match AI and machine learning tools from IBM, Microsoft and Google.

Box Inc. wants its customers to do more with all the files they're storing on its content management service. Today, it announced a couple of new tools powered in part by machine learning technology to give customers more ways to extract value from the data -- and more reasons to pay Box for extra services. Box Skills is a software framework that uses machine learning, a set of technologies that allow computers to learn akin to way the brain does rather than being explicitly programmed, to do tasks such as computer vision for image analysis, video indexing and sentiment analysis from audio. The capability was announced at its BoxWorks conference this week in San Francisco, as part of Box's goal to make Box "the most intelligent cloud content management platform," as Chief Executive Aaron Levie puts it. The San Francisco-based company today previewed three skills that are still in development.
