Dust alternative: cited, permission-aware search across your work apps

InSearch is that, out of the box. It searches Drive, Slack, Notion, Confluence, Gmail, Jira and Salesforce in one query and returns a written answer with inline citations, with item-level permissions enforced at query time and no training on your data. There is nothing to assemble: you connect your apps and ask, and the cited, permission-aware answer is the product.

Dust leans toward building custom assistants, so the question is whether you want to assemble a stack or search what you already have, a trade-off we cover in RAG versus enterprise search. For the search-first approach see AI enterprise search, and for the assistant layer the AI knowledge assistant. For the head-to-head questions specifically, Dust vs GoSearch compares Dust against GoSearch, Zapier and Google Agentspace on prices verified this month.
