What does a Dust partner like Idoption do?
A Dust services partner puts the platform to work for its clients: it connects the agents to the company's tools, trains the teams and tracks adoption. Dust describes its services partners as agencies and consultancies that implement AI solutions for their clients.
At Idoption, this work happens on your existing tools and your real data, with no test dataset and no isolated demo. Idoption is a Dust partner and builds its deployments with a three-phase method.
Dust publishes two case studies written with Idoption, the Applium one and the Apiday one, which you can read directly on dust.tt.
How does a Dust deployment with Idoption work?
A deployment lasts four weeks and follows three phases, each with a specific deliverable.

We look at your stack, your workflows and your target metrics. If we cannot help, we tell you so and stop there.

Connectors plugged in, first agent deployed on your real data. No test dataset, no proof of concept in a vacuum.

Adoption
We bring in the most motivated users, measure usage in real time and adjust the agents based on feedback from the field.
Deliverable 90% adoption targeted by day 29, measured on dashboards
The set-up relies on three roles, described in the Apiday case study published by Dust: an executive sponsor who owns the vision, a builder who creates the agents, and a champion in each team who drives daily usage.
The detail of the four weeks, the training and the follow-up points is on the Method page.
What results have the companies we support achieved?
Four companies have published figures after a deployment with Idoption. The figures are provided by the clients and detailed in each case study.
| Client | Context | Results |
|---|---|---|
| Applium | SAP consultancy | 97 of 120 users connected and registered within 29 days (81%), and 60% regular users. |
| Apiday | ESG platform, B2B SaaS | Prospect enrichment cut from 7 days to 2 hours (-97%), 100% daily adoption in the sales team in under two months. |
| Adeis RH | Recruitment firm, 5 brands | 5 brands run from a single Dust workspace, 3 agents built in a few weeks, 100% adoption among pilot users. |
| DataValue Strategy | EPM consulting, 42 consultants | About 70% time saved on meeting notes, delivered the same day, and about 80% on newsletter production. |
For Applium, the 81% rate (97 of 120 users) counts connected and registered users. All cases can be read in the client references.
Which data and tools do the agents work with?
The agents plug into your existing tools, including Teams, SharePoint, Slack, Google Drive and SAP, and inherit your permissions. Every request is traceable and hosting is European. Governance is set up before the pilot expands: security frames the deployment from day one. The integrations page lists the tools already connected.
Is Dust the right fit for every use case?
No, and the diagnostic is also there to say so. We are vendor-agnostic: we choose the solution that fits your situation, and if the return on investment is not there, we do not deploy.

What happens after the four weeks?
Follow-up continues with Anchoring: open desks, continuous optimization, ROI measurement and support toward full autonomy. An audit of token consumption also reduces the cost of agents in production without rebuilding everything. Training serves two audiences, the executive committee and the employees. To get started, write to us or book the diagnostic directly.
Frequently asked questions about Dust and Idoption
How do you choose a Dust partner?
Choose a partner that can prove deployments in production, with figures validated by its clients. Four checks are enough: published case studies, some of them hosted on dust.tt; adoption that is measured rather than estimated; governance set up from the start, with inherited permissions, traceable requests and European hosting; and a provider able to say when Dust is not the right fit. Dust lists three partner types: services, resellers and integrators. At Idoption, two deployments are documented by case studies published on dust.tt, those of Applium and Apiday. The 45-minute diagnostic then checks whether your use case deserves to be deployed, before any commitment. A costed action plan, delivered within two weeks, lets you compare offers on the same basis. Ask the same of any provider before you sign anything: verifiable references and sourced figures.
How long does it take to deploy Dust in production?
Four weeks in general, from zero to autonomous teams. The 45-minute diagnostic leads to a costed action plan within two weeks. The first agent is in production in the first week, on your real data. Weeks two to four are for adoption: we bring in the most motivated users, measure usage in real time and adjust the agents based on feedback from the field. The target is 90% adoption on day 29, tracked on dashboards. At Applium, 97 of 120 users were connected and registered twenty-nine days after deployment, with 60% regular users. Each week has its deliverables: kick-off and hackathons in week 1, version 2 of the agents in week 2, a Flash ROI Diagnostic in week 3, keynote and presentation of the return on investment in week 4. Nothing built during the pilot is thrown away, and the full method details the program.
How are adoption and return on investment measured?
Use case by use case. We track time saved, success rate and volumes handled, and usage can be read in real time on dashboards. At Apiday, prospect enrichment for a campaign went from seven days to two hours, which is 97% less, and the sales team uses the agents every day. At DataValue Strategy, meeting notes save about 70% of the time and are delivered the same day. At Applium, automatic meeting notes save 20 minutes to 1 hour per meeting. A Flash ROI Diagnostic in the third week allows adjustments before the final presentation. These figures are provided by the clients and detailed in each case study. If the return on investment is not there, we do not deploy: a systematic approach also means recognizing the cases where AI does not bring enough value to justify the project.
Is my data protected with Dust?
The agents inherit the permissions of your tools: each person reaches the data they already have the right to see. Every request is traceable and hosting is European. We set up governance before the pilot expands: security frames the deployment from day one. The agents work on your real data, in a production environment, connected to tools such as Teams, SharePoint, Slack, Google Drive or SAP. For Dust's contractual commitments on hosting and data use, the reference remains the documentation published by Dust and its terms: check them before signing, whichever provider supports you. Security is a starting condition of the pilot. You also choose which models are allowed on sensitive data. The MCP protocol also connects your systems directly to AI models for tailored uses, and the pilot runs on your real data rather than on a test dataset.
Should we choose Dust over Copilot or another solution?
It depends on your tools, your data and the use case, and the diagnostic settles it. We are vendor-agnostic: Partner of Dust, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic. Consultants certified on Claude, Dust and Microsoft Copilot. We select the solution that fits your situation, because every company is different. Many organizations already use several tools, with Copilot in one department and other solutions elsewhere, with no shared governance and no measurement of usage. Our work therefore starts by looking honestly at what you already have: your processes, your tools, your teams. If a use case is not worth it, we say so, even if that means we have nothing to sell you. That is why the first conversation is a diagnostic and not a sales proposal.
