Frequently asked questions

ChatGPT is a great conversational AI, but it can't take action in your sales tools. Dust is built around AI agents that actually execute tasks in your stack. With Dust, your sales team gets AI teammates that can:

  • Update CRM records and pipeline stages automatically
  • Draft and send follow-up emails after every call
  • Generate RFP responses from your knowledge base
  • Collaborate across Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, and 50+ tools

Yes. Dust connects directly with Salesforce, HubSpot, and other leading CRMs. Your agents can read pipeline data, update fields, create tasks, and trigger workflows — without reps having to do it manually. We also support Slack, Notion, Google Drive, GitHub, and 50+ other tools out of the box.

A Dust sales agent is a specialized AI teammate configured for your specific workflows. Examples include:

  • Call summarizer: Automatically updates CRM with meeting notes and next steps
  • RFP responder: Generates proposal drafts from your knowledge base in minutes
  • Pipeline analyst: Surfaces at-risk deals and coaching insights from your data
  • Onboarding assistant: Ramps new reps faster with instant answers on products and processes

Most sales teams are up and running within minutes. Our no-code builder means you can create your first custom agent without any technical expertise. Connect your data sources, configure your agent's instructions, and you're ready to go. For enterprise deployments, we offer dedicated onboarding support.

Absolutely. Dust is built for enterprise security requirements:

  • SOC 2 Type II certified with annual audits
  • SSO and SCIM support for identity management
  • Data residency options including EU hosting
