Chrome Extension — Major Update

🎯 What is it?

The Dust Chrome Extension has been completely redesigned to bring you the full power of the web app, directly in your browser. You now get access to voice input, rich text formatting, message reactions, conversation management, and much more—all without leaving your current tab.

💡 Why is it useful?

Until now, the Chrome extension offered a simplified experience compared to the web app. Many recent features—like voice input, Frames display, or the ability to attach agents and data sources—were missing. This update closes that gap entirely, making the extension a complete, standalone way to work with Dust wherever you are on the web.

⚙ How does it work?

Simply update your Chrome extension to the latest version. Once updated, you'll immediately see the new interface with all the features listed below.

✨ Concrete Use Cases

Here's how you could use it:

Research & Writing: Highlight text on any webpage, open the extension, and ask an agent to summarize, rephrase, or expand on it—using voice input if you prefer. Your draft is auto-saved, so you can close the extension and pick up where you left off.

Quick Access to Context: Attach a specific data source or agent directly to your conversation in the extension, ask a question, and get an answer enriched with your company's knowledge—without opening the full web app.

Staying in the Flow: Browse your conversation history, check your inbox for unread messages, and react to agent responses—all from the sidebar, while staying on your current page.

📈 Benefits for you

Time saved: No need to switch between the web app and your browser—everything is accessible in one click
Better efficiency: Voice input, rich formatting, and draft auto-save make your interactions faster and smoother
Full feature parity: You no longer compromise on functionality when using the extension
