About Dust

Dust serves as an enterprise-grade operating system designed to orchestrate and govern fleets of specialized AI agents. Rather than providing a single chatbot, the platform allows organizations to build and deploy custom agents that are deeply integrated with internal data silos. By connecting to common workspace tools like Slack, Google Drive, Notion, and GitHub, Dust turns raw large language models into context-aware assistants that understand the specific nuances of a company's internal documentation and historical data. This infrastructure effectively bridges the gap between generic AI capabilities and practical, high-value business workflows. The platform is model-agnostic, allowing teams to leverage various advanced models—including GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Mistral—within a single workspace. Users can create agents in seconds without writing code, customizing their capabilities for specific functions such as legal contract reviews, customer support ticket automation, or engineering incident management. Beyond simple chat interactions, these agents can execute actions through semantic search, data analysis, and web navigation. All data processed by the platform remains private and is never used for training external models, backed by SOC 2 Type II certification and GDPR compliance. Dust is primarily built for medium-to-large enterprises and high-growth startups that need to manage institutional knowledge at scale. It is particularly beneficial for departments like Sales, Marketing, Customer Support, and Engineering, where team members often lose time searching for information across fragmented systems. For example, engineering teams can use it to accelerate debugging by providing code context, while customer support teams can reduce ticket response times from minutes to seconds by surfacing relevant knowledge base articles automatically. What distinguishes Dust from standard AI wrappers is its focus on "AI primitives" — core building blocks that allow for sophisticated team orchestration and universal access across different tools. The platform provides a unified management layer with fine-grained access controls, SSO support, and enterprise audit logs, ensuring that AI deployment remains secure and compliant. By offering both a Pro plan for small teams and a robust Enterprise tier with dedicated support and data residency options, Dust provides a scalable path for organizations to transition into AI-driven operational models.
