Frequently asked questions
While Glean focuses primarily on enterprise search and finding information, Dust is built around AI agents that can actually execute tasks. With Dust, you're not just getting answers—you're getting AI teammates that can:
- Take multi-step actions across your tools
- Automate complex workflows without code
- Collaborate with multiple specialized agents
- Learn and improve from your team's feedback
Yes. Dust includes powerful search capabilities across all your connected data sources, but goes further by letting you build agents that can act on that information. You get the best of both worlds: instant answers when you need them, plus AI agents that can handle tasks end-to-end.
Traditional chatbots can only answer questions. Dust agents are fundamentally different:
- Multi-step execution: They can break down complex tasks and execute them across multiple tools
- Tool integration: Direct connections to your existing systems (Slack, Notion, Salesforce, etc.)
- Knowledge base access: Real-time access to your company's documentation and data
- Orchestration: Multiple agents can collaborate on complex workflows
Most 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
- Your data is never used to train AI models
- Fine-grained permissions with Spaces and role-based access
