How Dust is building the future of work with agentic AI and why it runs on Temporal

Dust is revolutionizing AI agents by integrating them deeply into existing workflows and tools like Slack, Notion, GitHub, and Salesforce, providing contextual assistance tailored to specific organizational needs. Unlike traditional bots, Dust's agents are embedded within company processes, enabling them to interact intelligently with ongoing tasks, such as commenting on pull requests or creating tickets for bugs. This integration is powered by Temporal, an orchestration engine that allows Dust to handle complex, stateful workflows with reliability and scalability, ensuring seamless synchronization and error handling. Dust’s engineering culture emphasizes fast iteration, product-led development, and engineer ownership, which shapes the design and adaptability of their platform. Temporal's capabilities allow Dust to focus on advancing agent functionalities and expanding integrations without worrying about orchestration complexities, positioning AI agents as essential components of organizational operations.
