Dust Product Update 6

We've added new features to Dust: a Microsoft SharePoint Connection, updated documentation, image processing for Anthropic models, and data visualization capabilities. We've also created import scripts for Jira, Zendesk, and Salesforce. In this product update, we also want to introduce the Vaults feature for managing sensitive data access.

Here's what's new in Dust.

🔜 Coming Soon

🔐 [PREVIEW] Introducing Vaults: a new way to manage sensitive data in Dust.

Vaults will allow for restricted access to sensitive data, such as HR, finance, or leadership information.

How do Vaults work?

Admins will now be able to create 1) a workspace-wide vault available to all users and 2) specific vaults, associating selected data sources with designated users. If you create an assistant using a document from the Vault 1, only users with access to Vault 1 will be able to see and interact with this assistant.

Vaults are currently in preview mode. While we're not offering full support during this phase, we're eager to hear from you! If you're interested in learning more about Vaults or want to be among the first to try this feature, please contact us at team@dust.tt.

☁️ New Connection: Zendesk, Snowflake.

🛠️ New Tool: Code interpretation: code generation (server-side code interpretation).

💻 Dust Extension: Thanks to a browser extension, dust will come to you.
