Dust is a hosted AI agent platform for teams. People can build agents that use company knowledge, connect tools and share the results with coworkers.
It supports more than simple Q&A, including scheduled, event-driven and multi-agent workflows. Dust hosts the platform; choosing it does not mean your team must run the underlying infrastructure.
The responsibility to examine is agent configuration and ongoing workflow quality. Teams can own that work themselves, and Enterprise includes additional onboarding and support. Compare that arrangement with Toyo's scoped engineer engagement.
Personal Toyo is an AI assistant for daily work. Message it, send a voice note or call it for help with your inbox, calendar, meeting preparation and follow-ups.
Toyo for Teams brings company context and team workflows together. It includes SSO and a personal agent for each team member, with access available on request. Connected tools such as Claude and ChatGPT can use approved company context through MCP.
For custom team work, Toyo scopes the workflow, integrations, review points and support with you. Engineers can build, test, deploy and improve the system within that engagement. This support is not automatically included in every personal subscription or Teams access request.
Dust gives your team a platform to build and adjust agents. Toyo can take on the build and operation of a specific workflow within an agreed engagement. A team with someone ready to own agent prompts, tools and evaluation may prefer Dust; a team seeking delivery help should compare the support scope.
Dust connects sources so its agents can work with company information. Toyo for Teams can also make approved company context available to connected AI tools through MCP. Dust supports MCP as well, so compare the actual clients and read/write paths you need rather than treating MCP as exclusive to Toyo.
Toyo offers a personal assistant through messages and calls alongside team work. Dust focuses on agents configured and shared by a company. Decide whether private inbox and calendar assistance is part of the purchase or whether a company agent platform covers the requirement.
Dust Enterprise lists onboarding, a customer success manager and support commitments. Toyo's engineer support is scoped per engagement. Neither product should be described as universally self-service or universally fully managed without checking the actual agreement.
For personal use, sign up and connect the accounts needed for your work. For Toyo for Teams, talk to us to request access and agree the sources, permissions, workflow, price and support scope. Engineer involvement depends on that agreement.
Choose the sources and tools to connect to Dust, configure agents and decide who will maintain prompts, permissions and workflow behaviour. Dust manages hosting. Enterprise onboarding and support can help with rollout; confirm what applies to your plan.
Toyo combines a personal assistant with shared company context and managed team workflows. Personal plans are Solo at $29/month and Pro at $79/month. Toyo for Teams is available by requesting access, with pricing and engineer support scoped per engagement.

| Implementation and upkeep | Build, deployment and ongoing support as agreed, not a universal plan entitlement | Configuration and support depend on the plan or deployment; see setup and support below |

Prices are listed in the currencies and billing terms published by the provider. Credit allowances, taxes and implementation support are not directly interchangeable.
Dust lists source access controls and hosting in US or EU regions. Business SSO is available on demand from five seats, while Enterprise adds controls such as SCIM and audit logs. Verify the plan, region and permissions needed for your company rather than assuming every tier includes every control.
Toyo's personal pricing page states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest and is not used to train AI models. Teams includes SSO. Agree source permissions and review points before connecting company systems. Some actions in connected tools can apply immediately, so do not assume every action has a separate approval step.
