Paris, September 23, 2026 — AI Partners announced today a strategic partnership with Dust, the collaborative AI platform that lets companies build, share, and scale AI agents across every team. The partnership combines AI Partners' consulting and training expertise with Dust's agentic AI platform to help organizations move faster from AI strategy to everyday, measurable adoption.
Founded in Paris by Stanislas Polu, former OpenAI research engineer, and Gabriel Hubert, formerly of Stripe and Alan, Dust has emerged as one of Europe's leading agentic AI platforms, backed by Sequoia Capital. What sets Dust apart is its approach to enterprise AI: rather than a single chatbot or a collection of disconnected point tools, Dust provides one agnostic AI layer that connects a company's existing tools — including Salesforce, Notion, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zendesk, Snowflake, HubSpot, and GitHub — with the model of choice, whether OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, or another provider. On top of that layer, teams across sales, support, engineering, product, finance, HR, and IT can create their own agents without writing code, share and reuse them across the organization, and scale usage under one governed, observable platform. Dust customers report over 90% firm-wide adoption, up to 50% of time saved on proposals, and research tasks that once took days completed in as little as 20 minutes.
Under the partnership, the two companies will pursue a jointly-led go-to-market approach, supported by a clear, territory-based collaboration model designed to bring the right expertise to the right customers at the right time. Dust is also providing AI Partners with dedicated enablement support, ensuring its teams are equipped to deliver the platform's full value from day one.
"Most enterprise AI programs die between the pilot and the payroll. We partnered with Dust because it is built for the unglamorous part: company context, permissions, model choice. That is what turns an experiment into an operating standard," said Thomas Spitz, CEO at AI Partners.
As part of the collaboration, AI Partners is introducing three packaged offerings built specifically around Dust:
AI Partners has also appointed a dedicated internal lead who will track the Dust product closely and train the firm's consultants on an ongoing basis, ensuring customers benefit from up-to-date expertise as the platform evolves.
"AI transformation is fundamentally a human transformation. Organizations need trusted leaders who can guide that change, connect AI to the way teams work, and help people focus on higher-value, more meaningful work. AI Partners has built their company to address this very challenge, and brings the change management layer that helps customers make the most of the Dust platform.” said Thibault Martin, Ecosystem Lead at Dust.
The partnership reflects a broader shift among enterprises seeking not just AI tools, but trusted partners who can guide them through adoption, change management, and measurable business impact — while retaining control over security, data governance, and cost.
Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Paris, AI Partners is an AI transformation firm helping complex organizations design, build and operate agentic systems in production.
Dust is the multiplayer AI platform for human-agent collaboration. It gives companies a shared workspace where teams can build, deploy, and manage AI agents connected to their company knowledge, tools, and workflows. With enterprise-grade governance, flexible model choice, and a collaborative interface for humans and agents to work together, Dust empowers AI Operators at the world’s fastest-moving companies to rewire how work gets done.
