Supporting high-performance creative teams

Why choose Air over Box

Modern digital asset management

AI-Powered Search

Air automatically tags and organizes images and videos using AI — find assets by keyword, object, face, or color. On the other hand, Box utilizes file-name-based search with limited metadata. No automatic visual tagging.

Result: Air users reduce search time by up to 75%.

Intuitive and easy to use

Built for Creative Workflows

Air's interface includes Kanban boards, version stacks, timestamped video comments, and approval routing — all natively. Box provides basic file storage and comments. No creative-specific tools.

Result: Air replaces 3–5 tools and accelerates content delivery by 50%.

Seamless Creative Flow

Workflow Automation

Air automates tagging, routing, sharing, and approvals, while Box offers limited creative automation. Box Relay is general-purpose and requires IT support.

Result: Save time, reduce errors, and keep teams in flow.

Purpose built for Creative Operations

Creative Governance & Security

Air's built-in brand controls, permissioning, and asset expiration all work to maintain consistency across your workspace, while Box's offering encompasses general file-level permissions that are not specifically tailored for creative asset governance.

Result: Air protects your brand while enabling real collaboration.
