What is Dust?
Dust is a next-generation enterprise AI platform that transforms how organizations leverage artificial intelligence by seamlessly connecting internal knowledge, tools, and workflows. Unlike traditional AI solutions that operate in isolation, Dust lets teams create contextualized AI agents that understand and interact with your company's data and systems. It serves as the AI operating system for the enterprise, providing universal AI primitives that make enterprise workflows intelligent.
The platform enables teams to create customizable and secure AI agents powered by leading large language models like GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, and Mistral. These agents integrate with company data sources including Slack, Google Drive, Notion, Confluence, GitHub, and external websites. Dust features a multiplayer AI workspace where people and agents collaborate as co-contributors with shared access to knowledge, tools, conversations, and notifications. The platform includes a semantic layer that synthesizes company knowledge so agents understand context rather than just retrieving information.
Dust is built for AI Operators—people who build, deploy, and run AI for their teams—across departments including Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Customer Support, Data & Analytics, IT, Productivity, People, and Legal. It offers enterprise-grade security with SOC 2 Type II certification, GDPR compliance, HIPAA-ready deployment, SSO (SAML, OIDC) + SCIM, audit logs with 365-day retention, RBAC plus dual-layer agent permissions, and zero model training on company data. The platform supports 10,000+ users per workspace with 99.9% uptime SLA and sub-2-second response times.
Key features include model flexibility to switch seamlessly between frontier models, self-improving AI agents that learn how you work, custom tool creation with code, 100+ production connectors, RESTful API for custom integrations, MCP for proprietary systems, webhook support, Chrome extension for browser-based access, and a Chrome extension that lets you draft text using webpage context, analyze websites, capture screenshots, and drag & drop images.

Agents get smarter the more you use them as value grows with every teammate that joins, with skills, knowledge, and expertise flowing across the platform.
