What makes Dume different

Context-aware

Dume remembers your profile and previous sessions instead of starting cold every time.

Tool access

Acts on your connected tools directly. No copy-pasting between apps.

Plain language

Ask for what you want the way you’d ask a person, not a command syntax.

Live data

Pulls current information from your connected tools, not a cached snapshot.
Once you’ve personalized Dume and connected a tool, the dashboard is where you’ll spend most of your time.

​
The dashboard

You can have several conversations open as tabs at once. A tab keeps working in the background while you look at another one, so you can check back later and it’ll already be done.
Your messages appear on the right, Dume’s on the left. While Dume is working on something multi-step, a live to-do list shows what it’s doing and what’s left.
  • Shift + Enter for a new line, Enter to send
  • The + button lets you attach files (web app only) or reach connected tools
  • The mic icon dictates your message. A separate voice mode button opens a live spoken conversation; see Voice mode
Every session is saved. Use the menu on a conversation to pin, rename, or delete it; see History.

​
Talking to your connected tools

1

Start with plain language

Dume figures out which connected tool to use from what you ask. You don’t have to name it.
2

Review what comes back

Responses pull real data from the tool involved: a calendar event, an email thread, a GitHub PR. Not a paraphrase.
If a tool doesn’t have the data yet (nothing scheduled, no matching emails), Dume says so rather than inventing something.
3

Take action, not just look

Ask Dume to create or change things, not just report on them.
Anything that modifies data, like sending, creating, or deleting, asks for confirmation first. Review before you approve.

Chain multiple tools in one request

​
Staying in context

Dume keeps track of what you just asked, so follow-ups don’t need to repeat context:

​
Writing a better prompt

Instead of “Check my schedule,” try “What meetings do I have tomorrow afternoon?”Instead of “Find files,” try “Find slide decks about the Q3 launch from last month.”

​
When Dume asks you something back

Dume will ask for clarification rather than guess, especially before anything irreversible:
  • Multiple matches: “Which John do you mean, John Smith or John Doe?”
  • Ambiguous timing: “This Thursday or next Thursday?”
  • Confirming a destructive action: “This will delete 15 files. Proceed?”
Answer with the specific detail it’s asking for, and it’ll continue where it left off.

​
Troubleshooting

Rephrase and try again, then check the integration’s status on the Integrations page. It may need to be reconnected.
Be more specific about what you want, or name the tool explicitly: “In Slack, find messages about the outage.”
Check that the integration has write access, not just read. Some connections default to read-only until you grant more.
