Dropbox Dash
Dropbox Dash is an AI-powered universal search tool designed to connect all of your tools, content, and apps in a single search bar. It allows users to search across their various apps and tabs in one place, reducing the need to navigate between different apps and content. Dash can connect to major platforms such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, Salesforce, and more, allowing users to find everything they need quickly and efficiently. Dash also features machine learning, which enables it to learn, evolve, and improve the more it is used.
In addition to universal search, Dropbox Dash also includes features like Stacks and the Start Page. Stacks are smart collections for your links, providing an easy way to save, organize, and retrieve URLs, similar to how files have folders and songs have playlists. The Start Page is a single dashboard that lets users access Dash universal search, view Stacks, get shortcuts to recent work, and start meetings. This allows users to navigate their day and focus on their most important work more efficiently.
Dropbox AI
Dropbox AI, on the other hand, is a tool that applies AI to file previews, one of the most highly trafficked web surfaces on Dropbox. With Dropbox AI, users can quickly understand large documents or videos without going through the entire file. It allows users to summarize content, such as contracts and meeting recordings, into a concise explanation. Additionally, it allows users to get the information they need without manually searching through large files. Users can simply ask a question and get a response within seconds. In the near future, users will be able to use Dropbox AI on their folders or their entire Dropbox account.
Dropbox Ventures
Dropbox is also launching Dropbox Ventures, a $50M venture initiative to support startups that are innovating in AI. Portfolio companies will receive financial support and mentorship to build new AI-powered products that will shape the future of work.
Trust and Transparency
As these new AI-powered product experiences are rolled out, Dropbox is renewing its commitment to its core values, particularly in being worthy of trust. Dropbox’s AI Principles are aimed at protecting customers’ privacy, acting transparently, and limiting bias in AI technologies to ensure they are built as fairly and reliably as possible.
As of now, Dropbox Dash is currently available in English to select customers in beta, and Dropbox AI for file previews is currently in alpha, available in the U.S. to all Dropbox Pro customers and starting to roll out to select Dropbox Teams for testing. For the most recent updates, you can check the official Dropbox Blog and website.
