🔬 Dust Session for Builders: Unveiling Multi-Tool AI Assistants To Our Community Recently, we held our second Dust Session for Builders. These sessions are our way of sharing new developments and exploring ideas with the people who use our tools. This time, we focused on our latest feature: multi-tool AI assistants. Let us break it down for you: The core idea: An AI assistant that can use multiple tools to solve problems, much like how we might use different tools when tackling a complex task. These tools include: • Searching through data • Querying tables • Fetching recent information • Processing large datasets • Browsing the web • Running custom-built apps For instance, to compile a weekly report, the assistant might: 1️⃣ Retrieve recent messages from a Slack channel 2️⃣ Extract key information from those messages 3️⃣ Organize the data into a clear format 4️⃣ Send out a Slack highlight to the team As we continue developing these multi-tool assistants, we're grappling with questions like: • How do we make these tools even more useful and easy to use? • What new capabilities should we add? • How do we help builders develop more advanced use cases? We don't have all the answers yet. That's why these sessions are valuable - they allow us to think out loud and explore ideas together. ✍️ Dive deeper into Dust's multi-tool assistants and watch the replay: https://lnkd.in/dMrtjJWs What kind of problems do you think AI could help solve in your work? We're genuinely curious to hear your thoughts and ideas.

Thibault Martin from our Business Operations team shares how he's using Dust to build AI assistants that make our data workflows 50% faster. With assistants like "analyticsGod" to query data via natural language and "sqlGod" to collaboratively write SQL, Thibault and the team: - Get instant answers to data questions without manually hunting for information; - Enable self-serve analytics for members of the team; - Spend less time on basic data tasks and more time on high-impact analysis. "Start simple and be iterative in improving your assistants. Even if the outputs aren't perfect at first, they'll save you a ton of time," Thibault advises. https://lnkd.in/edPu8Qe2
