What Dust is built for
Dust combines collaborative Pods with configurable agents and reusable skills. Its documentation also describes improvements suggested from conversation feedback and reviewed by skill editors. Dust Pods documentation
Where Them AI fits
Start with the company record.
Consider Them AI when your starting point is a repeated company decision: what was agreed, why, who owns it, and whether it is still current. Bring that work into rooms, review memory and skills, and make approved knowledge available through MCP.
How Rooms and memory fit togetherWhen to choose Dust
A different starting point.
Consider Dust when you want to configure agents with shared skills and tools, then organize their work with people in Pods. Its modular skills can be used across multiple agents.

| What matters | Them AI | Dust |
|---|---|---|
| Shared work | Rooms bring people and agents together around company work. Memory records give the knowledge behind that work an owner, sources, and a review status. Human room access is organization-wide in the current beta. | Pods combine conversations, tasks, and files. Conversations are indexed as context, and access can be open to the workspace or restricted to invited members.Dust Pods |
| Reusable expertise | Skills preserve a way of working for reuse. People review contributions, and approved skills can be retrieved by agents through MCP. | Skills package instructions, knowledge, and tools. Updating a shared skill updates it for the agents using it. Builders and admins create and edit skills.Dust Skills |
| Improvement and review | The memory review workflow distinguishes draft, approved, and rejected contributions. Owners and sources help the team evaluate company knowledge; native version history is not promised here. | Optional skill improvement analyzes feedback and corrections, then proposes edits for an editor to accept or reject. Suggested changes are not applied automatically.Dust skill improvement |
A practical evaluation
Start with one recurring decision
Imagine an account team making pricing exceptions. A useful evaluation is not just whether an agent can draft the renewal. Can a teammate find the reason for an earlier exception, identify its owner, review a change, and reuse the approved method next time? That is a concrete workflow to explore in Them AI.
Questions worth asking.
