About Dust
Dust is widening the agent-platform surface: multimodal tools, enterprise audit, model breadth.
Dust is shipping at a fast clip on three fronts that together define a serious agent platform: model breadth (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Grok 4.3, refreshed Anthropic lineup), agent capability (MCP tools can now return images the agent can actually see, plus context compaction for long runs), and enterprise readiness (workspace audit logs streamable to Datadog, Splunk, or any HTTPS sink). Integrations are getting versioned upgrades on the side (Asana MCP v2, Gmail labels and archive). The product is moving from 'chat with an agent' toward 'run agents in production with observability and multimodal I/O.'
