Hey Dust community!

We've got some big news.Dust has always been about making work work better. Our platform lets teams create custom AI assistants using top-notch models like GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and Mistral. These assistants tap into your company's data, giving you context-rich support that boosts productivity and streamlines workflows.

Now, we're taking a leap forward. We've added vision capabilities to our GPT-4 and Claude models. This means your assistants can now analyze images alongside text.

But that's just the start.Here's what's new:

1. Image Analysis with Context: Your assistant can examine images in relation to your company data, opening up new avenues for insights.
2. Visual-to-Code Translation: We've bridged the gap between visual concepts and practical implementation. Your assistant can now interpret visual information and turn it into functional code.

These aren't just neat tricks. They're tools that could reshape how you work with visual information. Imagine the possibilities for design teams, developers, and anyone who needs to quickly extract information from images or diagrams.We're excited to see how you'll use these new capabilities.

Give them a try and let us know what you think!

Use Case 1: BrandGuard - Your Personal Brand Police 👮‍♀️

Let's say you're knee-deep in a project and need to keep everything on-brand. Here's how Dust can help:

1. Feed your brand guidelines into Dust. This includes colors, spacing, typography - the whole nine yards.
2. Set up a Dust assistant (we'll call it "BrandGuard") that knows these guidelines inside and out.
3. Working on a design? Snap a screenshot and send it to BrandGuard.
4. BrandGuard checks your work against the guidelines and gives you feedback.

It's like having a brand expert who never sleeps. No more debates about whether that blue is "ocean" or "sky". BrandGuard knows.This setup doesn't just save time. It helps maintain consistency across your brand, catching small deviations before they become big problems. And because it's always available, you can check designs anytime, anywhere.Give it a try. You might find BrandGuard becomes your new favorite team member.

Use Case 2: From Screenshot to Code

This one's for all you developers out there (and maybe some aspiring ones too):

You're browsing the web and spot a component that makes you go "Ooh, I want that on my site! Take a screenshot of that component. For example, this:

Then create a Dust assistant with instructions to recreate the component using your preferred libraries (let's say React and Tailwind CSS).

Send the screenshot to your assistant, and Dust will analyze the image, generate the code, and - get this - actually show you the component right there in the chat!

It's like having a super-smart, lightning-fast pair programmer who can read your mind (or at least your screenshots).
