Faction vs Dust

Both connect your tools to AI and share context across your team. Faction does the same, then takes it further: the tools you connect work inside Faction and inside the AI apps your team already uses, like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. Dust keeps that to its own app.

The short version

Everything Dust does, plus your tools come with you.

Dust is a solid place to connect your tools and chat with AI. Faction covers the same ground: connect HubSpot, Notion, Asana, and the rest of your stack once, group them by team, and chat with AI that already has context. The extra piece is freedom of choice. With Faction, the tools you connect also work in whatever AI app your team prefers, so someone in Claude and someone in ChatGPT both get the same connected tools without setting anything up again. With Dust, those tools mostly stay inside Dust. If your team likes to bounce between AI apps, that difference adds up fast.
