🎯 What is it?

The Semrush MCP Server is now available across all Dust workspaces. This integration brings professional SEO tools—including keyword research, competitive analysis, and search insights—directly into your Dust conversations. You can now access Semrush's capabilities without switching contexts or leaving your workflow.

💡 Why is it useful?

Many teams need SEO data to inform their content strategy, competitive positioning, and marketing decisions. Previously, this meant jumping between Semrush and Dust. Now, your agents can pull real-time SEO intelligence on demand, making it faster and easier to create data-driven content, analyze competitors, or research keyword opportunities—all within your existing workflows.

⚙ How does it work?

Workspace admins can connect Semrush via OAuth in Spaces > Tools. Once configured, any team member can enable Semrush capabilities in their agents, allowing those agents to query SEO data, analyze keywords, and retrieve competitor insights as part of their responses.

✨ Concrete Use Cases

Here's how you could use it:

Content Strategy: Ask an agent to analyze keyword difficulty and search volume for your target topics, then generate content briefs optimized for those keywords.

Competitive Intelligence: Request competitor domain analysis to understand their top-performing pages, backlink profiles, and keyword rankings—then use those insights to inform your own strategy.

SEO Reporting: Build agents that pull regular SEO metrics and package them into reports or summaries, keeping stakeholders informed without manual data gathering.

📈 Benefits for you

• Faster insights: Get SEO data instantly within your conversations

• Better decisions: Ground content and marketing strategies in real search data

• Seamless workflow: No more context-switching between tools

• Team accessibility: Anyone can leverage Semrush capabilities through agents once it's set up

🚀 How to access it?

For admins: Navigate to Spaces > Tools in your Dust workspace and connect Semrush using OAuth authentication. See the Semrush documentation for setup details.

For users: Once your admin has enabled the integration, you can activate Semrush capabilities in any of your agents and start querying SEO data right away.

🎯 What is it?

Sidekick is a new AI assistant integrated directly into the Agent Builder. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, you can now describe what you want your agent to do in natural language, and Sidekick will draft the instructions, recommend the right tools and skills, and suggest improvements. All changes appear as reviewable inline diffs—you accept what works and reject what doesn't. You remain in complete control.

💡 Why is it useful?

Building effective agents often requires expertise in prompt engineering and deep knowledge of available tools. Sidekick removes this barrier by translating your intent into working agent configurations. It also helps you iterate faster by analyzing feedback, usage patterns, and suggesting concrete improvements to existing agents.

⚙ How does it work?

Sidekick understands context. When you describe what you need, it may ask clarifying questions, then generates a complete agent configuration. For existing agents, it reads your current setup, reviews performance data, and proposes specific enhancements as inline suggestions you can approve or dismiss with one click.

✨ Concrete Use Cases

Here's how you could use it:

Creating a new agent: Describe "I need an agent that monitors our #support channel and summarizes urgent tickets every morning" → Sidekick drafts the full configuration with appropriate data sources and scheduling.

Improving existing agents: Open an underperforming sales research agent → Sidekick analyzes usage feedback and suggests "Add web search capability" and "Refine instructions to focus on competitor pricing" as reviewable changes.

Customizing templates: Select the "Meeting Summarizer" template → Instead of generic instructions, Sidekick asks about your meeting format and adapts the template to your team's specific needs.

Converting conversations: Had a productive back-and-forth with an agent? Use "Convert to agent" → Sidekick captures that conversation's tools, knowledge sources, and reasoning pattern into a reusable agent.

📈 Benefits for you

• Faster agent creation: Go from idea to working agent in minutes, not hours

• Better quality: Leverage best practices built into Sidekick's recommendations

• Continuous improvement: Get data-driven suggestions to optimize existing agents

• Lower barrier to entry: Build sophisticated agents without needing prompt engineering expertise

🚀 How to access it?

Sidekick is now available to all users directly in the Agent Builder. Open any agent or click "New Agent" to get started.

🎯 What is it?

The conversation Attachments popover has been completely redesigned to give you better visibility and control over all files in your conversations. You can now see both uploaded files and agent-generated content in one organized view, filter by content type, and get visual notifications when new content is added.

💡 Why is it useful?

During long conversations with agents, files and generated content can quickly pile up, making it hard to find that specific document or output you need. This improvement solves the common "where did that file go?" problem by centralizing all conversation content in an easy-to-browse interface with smart filtering options.

⚙ How does it work?

When you click the Attachments button in any conversation, you'll now see a comprehensive table/preview of all content. New category filters let you narrow down by type (uploads vs. generated files), and the Attachments button will pulse whenever new content appears in the conversation, so you never miss important outputs.

✨ Concrete Use Cases

Here's how you could use it:

Research & Analysis: When working with an agent that generates multiple reports and charts, use the filters to quickly locate all generated visualizations versus your original source documents.

Document Management: In conversations where you've uploaded several files and received edited versions back, easily distinguish between your uploads and agent outputs to grab the right version.

📈 Benefits for you

• Save time: No more scrolling through long conversations to find a specific file

• Better organization: Clear separation between uploaded and generated content

• Never miss content: Visual pulse notification alerts you to new files immediately

• Easier reuse: Quick access to generated content for download or sharing

🚀 How to access it?

This feature is now live for all users—no action needed. Simply open any conversation and click the Attachments button to experience the improved interface.

🎯 What is it?

The BigQuery connector now supports multiple GCP projects within a single connection. Instead of being limited to one project (the service account's default project_id), Dust now automatically discovers and lists all GCP projects accessible by your service account, letting you browse datasets and tables across all of them.

💡 Why is it useful?

Many organizations structure their BigQuery data across multiple GCP projects for governance, billing separation, or organizational reasons. Previously, the connector only accessed a single hardcoded project, forcing you to create multiple connections or miss out on data stored in other projects. This update removes that limitation entirely.

⚙ How does it work?

When you connect BigQuery, Dust now queries all projects your service account can access and presents them in a unified view. You can browse and select datasets and tables from any accessible project without additional configuration.

✨ Concrete Use Cases

Here's how you could use it:

Cross-project analytics: Build agents that combine data from your production project, analytics project, and data warehouse project—all from a single BigQuery connection.

Multi-team access: If your service account has access to projects owned by different teams (marketing, sales, engineering), your agents can now query data from all of them seamlessly.

📈 Benefits for you

• Access all your BigQuery data through one connection instead of managing multiple connectors

• Build more comprehensive agents that work with data across your entire GCP organization

• Simpler setup and maintenance for multi-project BigQuery architectures

🚀 How to access it?

This improvement is available by default for all BigQuery connector users. If you're already using the BigQuery connector, you'll automatically see all accessible projects the next time you browse your data sources. No configuration changes needed.

Slack Tool Now Uses Official Dust Marketplace App

📌 Context

Previously, the Slack tool in Dust was using a non-approved Slack app. This caused a security warning to appear when connecting, and in some cases, it completely blocked the connection for companies with strict security policies that only allow approved Slack apps.

We've now upgraded the Slack tool to use our official Dust app from the Slack Marketplace—the same trusted app that powers the Slack bot you may already be using.

🔄 Impact on Dust

Dust now provides a unified, approved Slack integration across all features. The Slack tool connection flow has been updated to use our official Marketplace app, ensuring a seamless and secure experience.

👤 Impact for you

If you're already using the Slack tool: No impact. Your existing connection will continue to work without any interruption.

If you're setting up a new Slack tool connection: You'll now connect through our official Dust Marketplace app. This means:

• No more security warnings during connection
• Works even if your company policy restricts non-approved apps
• Cleaner, more trustworthy connection experience

✅ Actions required

No action required on your part.

If you previously couldn't connect the Slack tool due to company policy restrictions, you can now try again—the official app should be approved by your security settings.
