What is Dust?
Dust is a platform for building and running AI agents that work with a company's own data and systems. It connects to over 70 connectors, including Slack, Notion, Google Drive, GitHub, Salesforce and Zendesk, so agents can pull context from several sources at once instead of answering from a single app.
Teams can create custom agents with their own skills, knowledge and tools, and let them run as multi-agent workflows on schedules or triggers. People stay in the loop through shared workspaces and human review, while admins set permissions for data, tools and agents and monitor usage, adoption and costs with audit logs. Users can choose from 20+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral and others, depending on the task.
