Short answer

How can I use AI to check my smart lock logs?

Your AI client pulls recent activity and specific lock details directly from BoxLock. You can ask for specific entry times, user history, or current lock states to find exactly what you need. This breakdown shows how the data moves from your locks to your chat.

Audit outcomes

What you'll find

The AI turns raw lock data into clear answers.

LOGS

Activity history

The AI pulls recent events to show you who accessed which door and when. You get a clean list of entries and exits.

STATUS

Lock state checks

Ask about a specific door to see if it's currently locked or unlocked. The AI retrieves the real-time status of the hardware.

PATTERNS

Unusual activity

Ask your agent to look for entries at odd hours. It scans the logs to flag anything that looks out of place.

HUMAN

Manual decisions

The AI identifies the issues, but you decide what to do next. It won't lock doors or change access codes for you.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI uses specific tools to grab the data you're asking about.

  1. Fetch activity
