As an organization grows, the quantity of essential data staff have to hold observe of inevitably grows proper together with it. And, as your tech stack will get extra sophisticated, that data finally ends up cut up up throughout extra locations — buried in Slack threads, tucked into Jira tickets, pushed as information on Dropbox, and many others.
Dashworks is a startup aiming to be the go-to place for all of that inner data. Half customizable begin web page and half search engine, it hooks into dozens of various enterprise providers and offers you one hub to search out what you want.
Dashworks is constructed to be your work laptop computer’s dwelling web page. It’s received help for broadcasting companywide bulletins, constructing out FAQs and sharing bookmarks for the stuff you typically want and may by no means discover — your handbooks, your OKRs, your org charts, and many others.
Extra spectacular, although, is its cross-tool search. With backgrounds in pure language processing at firms like Fb and Cresta, co-founders Prasad Kawthekar and Praty Sharma are constructing a instrument that permits you to ask Dashworks questions and have them answered from the data it’s gathered throughout all of these aforementioned Slack threads, or Jira tickets, or Dropbox information. It’ll offer you a search outcomes web page of related information throughout the providers you’ve hooked in — but when it thinks it is aware of the reply to your query, it’ll simply bubble that reply proper to the highest of the web page, Google Snippets fashion.
Proper now Dashworks can hook into greater than 30 widespread providers, together with Airtable, Asana, Confluence, Dropbox, Gmail, Google Drive, Intercom, Jira, Notion, Slack, Salesforce, Trello and a complete bunch extra — with extra on the best way, prioritized by demand.
Giving one other firm entry to all of these providers and the data inside may be unsettling — one thing the Dashworks group appears fairly conscious of. Kawthekar tells me that their product is SOC-2 licensed, that each one respective knowledge is wiped from their servers in case you select to disconnect a service and that, for groups which are geared up to host the instrument themselves, they provide a totally on-prem model.
