The homepage is where you start new conversations. The composer sits at the top. Below it, Discover lists the agents and skills available in your workspace.

Start a conversation

Type your message in the composer and press Enter. Mention an agent with @ to choose who answers, or let your workspace’s default agent reply.

Pinned agents and skills

Right under the composer, you see the agents and skills your admins featured for you. Click an agent to select it in the composer, or click a skill to add it to your message. Hover over one to read its description.

Suggestions

Below the pinned items, Dust suggests prompts for common tasks, such as catching up on unanswered emails or preparing for your next customer meeting. Click one to fill the composer with its prompt and the skills or tools it needs. You can edit it before you send. Dust picks suggestions from the tools and skills your workspace has, your job type, and what you have already done in Dust. To hide a suggestion you don’t need, hover over it and click ×. Suggestions that Dust features for everyone can’t be hidden. When you select an agent that has suggested prompts, its prompts replace the suggestions. Click one to use it as your message.

Discover agents and skills

Click Discover skills and agents below the composer, or scroll down, to open Discover. It has two tabs: Featured and Catalog. The Featured tab shows recommendations: Click an agent to select it in the composer, or a skill to add it to your message. Click Details to read more about an agent or skill before you use it. Click Find more to open the Catalog tab.

Catalog

The Catalog tab lists every agent and skill you can use. Search by name or description, then narrow the list: Each row shows who built the agent or skill and its number of active users. Click its name to use it, the star to add it to your favorites, or Details to open its details panel. To create a new agent or skill, or to manage existing ones, see Create your first agent, Agents management, and Skills management.

Feature agents and skills for your team

Workspace admins choose which agents and skills appear in Curated by your workspace and under the composer. See Feature agents and skills on the homepage.
