Why teams switch from Gemini Enterprise to Dust

Deploy agents everywhere teams work

Custom agents accessible from Slack, Teams, Chrome, Excel, Zendesk—not trapped in a separate interface. Gemini's custom agents can't be called from Gmail or Slack.

Never get locked into one model

Choose OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or Mistral for each task. Switch as better models launch. Gemini locks you into Google models only.

Connect your entire tech stack

20+ integrations including GitHub, Notion, HubSpot, Zendesk, Snowflake, Gong. Gemini is limited to Google Suite + M365 basics—missing critical tools.

True no-code automation

Build triggers, webhooks, conditional workflows, and multi-agent orchestration without coding. Gemini requires Python ADK for anything beyond basic patterns.

Built for team collaboration

Active sharing, @mentions, team workspaces, collaborative agent building. Gemini focuses on individual productivity with limited read-only sharing.

Proven reliability at scale

2,000+ organizations trust Dust. Clay calls it "most impactful software." Gemini customers report reliability issues—one Google AE admitted "the product just doesn't work."
