What is Dust?

Dust is a platform that enables teams to create customizable and secure AI assistants powered by leading large language models. These assistants integrate with company data sources to enhance productivity and improve work processes across various domains

Ask your first question

To use an assistant, simply type your message and mention the assistant with "@".

Ask @dust to find information within your company knowledge base

Start asking questions to @dust. This assistant is setup by default and will use all of the internal documentation integrated to Dust to generate the answer.

Talk to multiple assistants in the same conversation

Dust allows you to call multiple assistants in one discussion and have them work together to achieve a given task.

Example 1: Ask two assistants to perform the same task

Extremely helpful to benchmark models and assistants against each other.

Example 2: Use assistants sequentially to build on each other's work.

Extremely helpful when you have a set of specialized tasks to perform (e.g. ask an @accountSummary assistant to generate a summary on an account, then ask @emailFollowup to draft an email followup. (Learn more in the use cases tab)
