Box CEO Levie: agents will do 100x the work on systems of record, APIs and governance are key
inductionheads · x · 2026-08-25
Box CEO Aaron Levie argues that AI agents will do 100x more work on systems of record than people ever did — querying data, processing tasks, executing workflows, and collaborating with human and agent users.
That makes governance, reliability, security, access controls, and business logic more critical than ever; the OpenAI–Hugging Face incident is just a small peek at a future full of agents executing on their goals.
Only systems of record with the right product experiences, APIs, and business models for agents will win — a huge moment of opportunity and disruption across software. He was quoting Garry Tan's prediction that systems of record must become AI harnesses or be replaced by agents.
