Box AI and HubSpot: Intelligent Insights Without Compromising Security


Surface Hidden Value with Confidence
While your unstructured data holds immense value, accessing it traditionally meant manual searches, endless scrolling, and hours of review. Box AI changes that — surfacing instant insights, summaries, and answers from your documents, images, contracts, and files using cutting-edge artificial intelligence.
But here’s what makes Box AI different: it’s built on a foundation of enterprise-grade security that never compromises on permissions.
Permissions-Aware AI (Secure RAG)
Box AI uses Secure Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which means:
Users only see what they’re allowed to see. Box AI respects every permission set on every file. If a user doesn’t have access to a document, Box AI won’t surface information from it — period.
No permission bypass. Unlike generic AI tools that might expose sensitive data, Box AI operates within your organization’s existing governance boundaries, ensuring compliance at every step.
Admin control over AI access. Administrators can configure exactly which users and groups can leverage Box AI features, maintaining granular control over who can query your content with AI.
Think of it this way: Box AI is like giving each employee their own intelligent assistant that already knows exactly what they’re authorized to access — nothing more, nothing less.
Enterprise-Grade Security Certifications
