The honest brief

Dust

Org-wide 'multiplayer' AI over shared company knowledge — agents are built once and reused across teams, not siloed per user.

  • Agents shareable across the org
  • Broad workspace connector library
  • Per-agent choice of frontier models
  • MIT-licensed open codebase
  • No free tier beyond a 14-day trial
  • Per-seat cost scales with org size

StackAI

Built for regulated enterprises: VPC and on-prem deployment plus SOC 2/HIPAA/ISO compliance, where most agent builders are cloud-only.

  • No-code drag-and-drop agent builder
  • Cloud, VPC, or on-prem deployment
  • 100+ enterprise integrations
  • Strong compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO)
  • Human-in-the-loop oversight
  • Enterprise focus; pricing skews high
  • Roadmap now tied to Asana integration
  • Crowded market vs Zapier and AI labs
