Overview

Dashworks connects a company's apps, websites and documents so staff can ask questions in natural language and get answers with citations. It searches connected sources live rather than syncing a copy, and applies document-level access controls at query time. It is used through Slack, a browser extension or the web, and teams can build custom bots.

Best for: Teams wanting one AI assistant to search their SaaS apps, docs and Slack from a single place
Pricing: 14-day free trial with no card, then $12 per seat per month (Team) or $15 per seat per month (Business, 10-seat minimum); Enterprise is contact sales.
Runs on: Web
