vsKlaws vs Dust.
Dust builds AI assistants that connect to your company's knowledge and tools. Team-focused, strong RAG, per-seat pricing.
Dust is the 'grounded team assistant' category. Connect it to your Google Drive, Notion, Slack, Intercom, and Dust builds AI assistants that answer questions using your company's real documents. For companies where institutional knowledge is scattered across many tools, it solves a real problem: new hires don't have to ask senior colleagues where the onboarding doc is — they ask Dust.
Pricing is per-seat and assumes team adoption. The value compounds as more colleagues use the same connected assistants. For a team of 20 trying to make their Notion searchable and their Slack retrievable, Dust shines.
For individuals, Dust is the wrong shape. You don't have institutional knowledge to ground against — you just want an AI that helps you get things done. Klaws is built for the individual case: one agent, your files, your workflows, flat pricing. Many people evaluating Dust realize mid-trial that they're trying to solve a personal productivity problem with a team-knowledge product.
