The Dust alternative for AI that takes governed action across your systems
FlowGenX AI runs multi-agent workflows and AI Teammates on one governed engine, with execution in your VPC or on-premises when your data needs to stay there.
Why FlowGenX AI
Why choose FlowGenX AI over Dust
Choose FlowGenX AI when agents have to carry out multi-step processes across your systems, not only work from company knowledge, with execution that can stay inside your network.
Multi-Agent Patterns Built In
ReAct, Supervisor, Swarm and Deep agent patterns let agents reason, delegate and communicate over A2A, so you choose how they coordinate.
Dust
We found no published supervisor or swarm patterns from Dust.
Runs the Moment Work Arrives
Workflows fire when a webhook, app event or agent signal arrives, with no polling loops to schedule or babysit.
Dust
Dust's docs say each webhook trigger runs at most 42 times per 24 hours by default.
AI Teammates in Your Channels
A FlowGenX AI Teammate is a named member of Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat and Discord. Colleagues reach it by @mention, DM, email or voice.
Dust
Dust centres on shared agents that teams build and call, rather than a named AI Teammate with standing duties.
Execution Where Your Data Lives
Keep one control plane in the FlowGenX cloud, and run the execution plane in our cloud, your VPC or on-premises.
Dust
Dust offers EU or US hosting and single-tenant deployment. We found no published VPC or on-premises option.

Learns the Job
A good run becomes a reusable skill with a tool allowlist. On an invoice status query, that cut 29 tool calls to 2.
Secrets Stay Out of the Model
A stored credential is used without the secret ever reaching the model.
PII Masked, Loops Halted
Masking rules apply to tool results and answers, and runaway loops are stopped.
Workflows That Recover
Checkpoints, retries, and exception and compensation paths keep multi-step operations on track.

Honest Assessment
Where Dust falls short, and where it fits
Where Dust falls short
No Published Customer-Cloud Option
Dust offers EU or US hosting and single-tenant deployment on Enterprise. We found no published option to run execution in your own VPC or on-premises.
Key Governance Sits in Enterprise
SCIM and audit logs are listed under Enterprise, so check which plan covers your governance requirements.
Default Webhook Limit
Dust's docs say each webhook trigger runs at most 42 times per 24 hours by default, which matters for event-heavy processes.
Agents Rather Than Designed Workflows
We found no published supervisor or swarm patterns from Dust. If you need designed multi-agent workflows, compare how far its agents and triggers reach.
No Native Meeting Capture in Teams
Dust's Teams docs say meeting integration isn't currently supported. Its agents can work with transcripts from notetaker apps such as Granola and Fathom.
Where Dust can fit
Agents Teams Can Share
Dust reports more than 300,000 deployed agents across 3,000+ teams. Agents draw on company context, and teams reuse skills across functions.
Present in Many Tools
Agents work in Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, a browser extension, Zendesk and Raycast, and you can call several in one Teams thread.
Hosting Choices
Dust offers EU or US hosting, says your data is never used to train models, and lists single-tenant deployment on Enterprise.
Wide Model Choice
Dust lists more than 20 frontier and open-source models, from providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Mistral.
Tool Approvals by Stake
Admins can set a stake for each tool, so low-stake tools run freely and high-stake tools always ask for confirmation.
Getting Started
Switch in 4 Simple Steps
Step 1
Pick a Process That Acts
Keep agents that mainly answer questions where they are. Start with a process that changes data across systems and needs approvals.
Step 2
Start a Free Trial
Create a FlowGenX AI account with the 30-day company trial. No credit card is required.
Step 3
Build It Your Way
Build a workflow with Companion or on the canvas, or deploy an AI Teammate, then connect your apps through MCP connectors.
Step 4
Compare on Evidence
Run both on the same job, review the traces and approvals, and decide from the results.
