Automate away the boring stuff

Kairos handles the complexity so you can focus on the work that matters.

Search Box for all contracts with "executed" in the filename, check which ones are older than 3 years, move them to the long-term retention folder, and generate a manifest of archived contracts with their original locations and execution dates

Search for executed contracts
Apply retention criteria
Archive to retention folder
Generate audit manifest

A legal department managing 12,000+ contracts automated their semi-annual retention review. What previously required a paralegal working 3 full days now completes in 8 minutes with a comprehensive audit trail.

Real workflows, real results

See how real people use Kairos with Box to automate workflows that used to eat their entire day.

General Counsel

Enforcing document retention policies across a global legal department

Margaret oversaw document governance for a multinational corporation with 50,000+ legal documents in Box. Retention policies varied by document type and jurisdiction — some contracts needed 7-year retention, others 10, and litigation holds could freeze entire folders. Manual compliance checks happened annually and always revealed gaps, creating regulatory risk.

1
Searches Box for documents matching each retention category by naming convention and folder location
2
Applies retention date calculations based on document type and jurisdiction rules
3
Identifies documents that have exceeded their retention period and are eligible for archival or destruction
4
Generates a compliance report with document counts by category, retention status, and any litigation holds that override standard retention
Annual retention compliance audits went from 2 weeks of paralegal time to a 4-hour automated process. Compliance coverage improved from 76% (sampling-based) to 100% (comprehensive), and the firm passed their next regulatory audit with zero document governance findings.
Clinical Research Director

Managing trial documentation across 8 active clinical studies

Dr. Patel managed documentation for 8 concurrent clinical trials, each requiring precise folder structures mandated by FDA regulations. Every trial had 30+ required document categories, and missing a single document during an FDA inspection could jeopardize the entire study. His team spent more time organizing files than analyzing data.

1
Creates regulatory-compliant folder structures for new clinical trials with all 30+ required document categories
2
Lists contents of each trial folder and identifies missing required documents
3
Searches across the research department for documents that should be filed in trial folders but are sitting elsewhere
4
Generates a trial documentation completeness report showing gaps per study with criticality ratings
Trial folder setup time dropped from 4 hours to 5 minutes. Documentation completeness improved from 89% to 99.6%, and the team passed 3 consecutive FDA inspections with zero documentation findings for the first time in the organization's history.
M&A Integration Lead

Organizing due diligence data rooms for acquisition targets

Claudia managed due diligence for 3-4 acquisitions per year. Each deal required a data room in Box with hundreds of documents organized into 15+ categories. The sell-side often dumped thousands of files with no organization, and Claudia's team spent weeks just sorting and categorizing before they could begin actual analysis.

1
Creates standardized data room folder structures with categories for Financial, Legal, IP, HR, Operations, and Technology
2
Lists all uploaded files from the sell-side dump folder and categorizes based on filename keywords and content indicators
3
Routes categorized files to the appropriate data room folders
4
Generates a data room inventory showing document counts per category and flagging categories with suspiciously few documents
Data room organization went from 2 weeks to 2 days. Claudia's team identified missing document categories 10 days earlier in the process, allowing them to request materials from the sell-side before the diligence timeline pressure intensified.
Enterprise Architect

Maintaining technical documentation governance across 200+ systems

Ravi was responsible for ensuring every production system had current architecture docs, runbooks, and disaster recovery plans in Box. With 200+ systems across 15 teams, documentation staleness was a chronic problem. Teams would update their systems without updating the docs, and nobody discovered the gap until an incident required a runbook that was 2 years out of date.

1
Lists all system documentation folders and checks for required document types (architecture diagram, runbook, DR plan)
2
Identifies documents not updated within the required freshness window (6 months for runbooks, 12 months for architecture docs)
3
Cross-references against the system registry to identify systems with no documentation folder at all
4
Generates a documentation health scorecard by team with freshness grades and specific remediation tasks
Documentation compliance improved from 54% to 91% within one quarter. During a major incident, the on-call team had an up-to-date runbook for the first time in the system's history, reducing resolution time from 4 hours to 45 minutes.
