951: Context Engineering, Multiplayer AI and Effective Search, with Dropbox’s Josh Clemm

Author: Jon Krohn December 23, 2025 Duration: 1:00:04
VP of Engineering at Dropbox Josh Clemm speaks to Jon Krohn about consolidating search tools across apps with the AI-powered workspace, Dropbox Dash, the new collaborative AI systems that enhance interoperability between team members and their projects, and how to avoid “context rot”. Dropbox Dash gives users the best of Dropbox’s cloud storage and search functions, plus a “universal search” ability to locate information across multimedia and apps. “AI really needs to understand you and your team, first and foremost, and all that connected data,” says Josh.
