At Dust, we want to provide knowledge workers and teams the tools required to get higher-quality work done, faster.

It’s disappointing to see how much time is still wasted interacting with software that doesn’t quite “get it”. Small tasks. Repetitive tasks. Tasks that wouldn’t need to be done in the first place if the right amount of context had been shared in time.

Most knowledge workers aren’t developers. Software that will really help them has to be powerful and simple to use. It has to fit their needs and personalities nicely. With the right tools, we believe that we can ultimately give the world’s 1 billion knowledge workers 25% of their time back. So they can move on to do more rewarding and interesting things.

We’re excited to build products that humans use to become better versions of themselves. We’re not here to replace humans, though. While we don’t mind a robot analogy, it has to be R2-D2, not Skynet.

While Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4o, Claude or Mistral Large are already very powerful, they remain unwieldy and, as a result, vastly underused. Rather than focusing on developing new foundation models, Dust is laser-focused on the product experience. We believe that existing models are powerful enough, and that most of the value can be unlocked and delivered to customers by refining product experiences, interfaces, and interactions with applications powered by LLMs and fueled by customer data.

About the team

We’re a small and determined team of optimists focused on customers, getting great things done by shipping, and that doesn’t take itself too seriously while doing so. We want to build a team that remains as small as it can be while serving a growing number of customers incredibly well.

We’ve been founders before. We’ve worked at OpenAI, Stripe, Square, Front etc... We know what can happen when a few people feel empowered and work together well with a clear purpose in sight.
