Introducing Attach from Knowledge

We're launching a powerful upgrade to how you interact with your company's knowledge in Dust. Now you can instantly search and attach documents, tables, or entire folders from your data sources, directly in conversations. No more downloads, uploads, or context switching.

Direct access to your company knowledge

Two new ways to bring data into your conversations:

1. Search and attach

Click "📎" and type the name of your doc in Search knowledge to instantly search across all your spaces. Find and attach:

  • Individual documents
  • Tables
  • Entire folders of related content

2. URL pasting ✨

Working in Notion, Google Drive, or Slack? Just copy the URL and paste it directly in the chat. Dust automatically recognizes and attaches the document without any upload time.

Why this matters

Before this update, attaching documents in Dust meant:

  1. Finding the document in its source location
  2. Downloading it locally
  3. Uploading it to Dust
  4. Waiting for the upload to complete

Now, you can seamlessly connect your agents with the exact knowledge they need directly from the chat bar in the web app and the Chrome extension.

Key benefits

  • Speed: Search and attach in seconds, no upload delay
  • Context: Give agents access to entire folders of related documents. No need to update your agent knowledge.
  • Synchronization: Always work with the latest version of your documents
  • Security: Permissions automatically respect your company's access controls

Looking ahead

This feature embodies our vision of an AI operating system that connects your entire organization's knowledge. As we continue to expand these capabilities, we're excited to see how you'll use this enhanced context-awareness to build agents and unlock new possibilities.

As always, we welcome your feedback as we continue to improve and evolve our models.

Just use Dust. ✨
