DropBox’s Co-founder and CEO, Drew Houston officially announces stepping into the much-hyped realm of Artificial Intellgence (AI) to enhance its renowned productivity tools.
By harnessing the power of machine learning, Dropbox is introducing innovative features that streamline work processes, boost efficiency, and save valuable time. In short, it will completely transform how we do office work. Especially the admin part of it.
To complement their plan, DropBox has unveiled its two groundbreaking AI-powered tools: Dropbox Dash and Dropbox AI.
#1. Dropbox Dash: The Ultimate AI-Powered Universal Search Tool
Dropbox Dash is a game-changing universal search tool designed to simplify the way you navigate through your work. Gone are the days of scattered files and folders across multiple apps and platforms. With Dropbox Dash, you gain access to a single search bar that seamlessly connects all your tools, content, and apps.
Imagine finding everything you need in one place, without the hassle of toggling between different applications. Experience the power of machine learning as Dropbox Dash learns from your behavior, constantly improving and delivering more personalized search results.
Say Goodbye to “Work About Work”
Do you find yourself spending endless hours searching for files and content? According to recent studies, knowledge workers spend an average of 8.8 hours per week looking for information.
With Dropbox Dash, you can bid farewell to unproductive “work about work” and reclaim valuable time for meaningful tasks. By integrating connectors to popular platforms such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, and Salesforce, Dropbox Dash empowers you to quickly find and access your files, share content, join meetings, and retrieve information effortlessly.
Explore Powerful Features Within the Dropbox Dash Browser Extension
The Dropbox Dash browser extension offers an array of features that further enhance your work experience. Discover the following tools:
- Stacks: Smart Collections for Enhanced Organization Similar to how files have folders and songs have playlists, Stacks provide a simple yet efficient way to save, organize, and retrieve URLs. Shareable and intuitive, Stacks serve as an organizational layer for your cloud content, ensuring easy accessibility and collaboration.
- Start Page: Streamline Your Workflow The Start Page acts as your centralized dashboard, offering quick access to Dash universal search, Stacks, recent work shortcuts, and meeting initiation. Seamlessly navigate through your day, prioritize tasks, and focus on what truly matters.
DropBox Dash is currently available exclusively in English to only select customers.
#2. Unlocking Efficiency with Dropbox AI: Summarize and Retrieve Information Instantly
Dropbox AI, an exciting addition to the Dropbox suite, brings AI capabilities to file previews, transforming the way you interact with large documents and videos.
With DropBox AI, you can quickly sift through your whole archive of records based on the queries that you post to DropBox. Instead of remembering and entering keywords in the search filters, DropBox will be able to fetch files even if you provide the context of the file.
Not only this. DropBox AI will offer some extra features as well.
Summarize Content in a Snap
Save time and effort by utilizing the summarization feature powered by Dropbox AI with a single click, you can obtain concise explanations of extensive files, including contracts and meeting recordings. Get a quick overview of essential information without the need to manually parse through lengthy documents.
Instant Answers to Your Questions
Bid farewell to manual searches through voluminous files as Dropbox AI enables you to ask questions and receive prompt responses within seconds. Get the information you need effortlessly, empowering you to make informed decisions swiftly.
Coming Soon: Dropbox AI for Your Entire Account
