Overview

Dust provides the ability for LLMs to access knowledge bases in order to make their answers more relevant. This is done via data sources.

There are various types of Data Sources:

• Connections: your main communication and knowledge tools (e.g. Google Drive, Notion, Slack, etc.), they get synchronized automatically, so Dust can always have access to recent information.
• Public Websites: ingest data from public websites (e.g. docs.dust.tt) with our web crawler, which you can refresh at the cadence you want.
• Folders: store static information in a folder, just like you would on your computer.
• Custom Connections: connections you can build yourself using our API or already-made scripts.

If you want to add a tool as a Connection, ask your admin to look for Connections Management .
