Overview
BoodleBox is a collaborative AI platform that helps people use AI tools in a simple, organized, and approachable way. It can support everyday work like brainstorming, drafting, summarizing, analyzing files, and collaborating with colleagues — while keeping people in control of the final decisions.
Currently, BoodleBox is only available to faculty and staff but there are plans to include students in the future.
