<Warning>
  Box AI Studio is available only for Enterprise Advanced accounts.
</Warning>

Box AI Studio lets you create custom AI agents through the API. Unlike the standard <Link href="/ai/box-ai-api">Box AI API</Link> endpoints that use Box's default agent configurations, AI Studio agents let you define purpose-built agents with custom instructions, model selections, and access controls.

For example, you can create an agent that acts as a compliance consultant -- answering questions about customer documentation with FedRAMP Moderate compliance in mind -- and restricts access to specific users or groups.

## Enabling Box AI Studio

Enable Box AI Studio in the Admin Console to start creating agents. For admin instructions, see <Link href="https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/37228079461267-Enabling-Box-AI-Studio-and-Managing-Agents">Enabling Box AI Studio and Managing Agents</Link>.

Step-by-step instructions are available in the <Link href="/guides/ai-studio/getting-started-ai-studio">Get started with AI Studio</Link> guide.
