Done!

Remi I did it and it works well! Wanted to update you on how it turned out. It's basically a VAPI voice bot running Claude as the main AI for having quick conversations. It has an n8n webhook set up as one of its tools, so whenever something knowledge base-related comes up, the VAPI bot calls this webhook which is then connected to Dust. I got a VAPI phone number for this bot which means I can call it any time and chat with my Dust data in a really user-friendly way. Thanks again for your help and hope this use case is at least interesting to know about.

n8n recently announced community nodes for their cloud version: https://blog.n8n.io/community-nodes-available-on-n8n-cloud/ However, Dust would need to go through the submission process and this could take some time (also not sure if they're working on it), so the most practical approach if you want to use n8n is to use the self-hosted option and install the Dust node.

Stéphane Lagresle, hello community member here: You would want to set up the Dust community node on n8n self-hosted like this (not on the cloud version): https://docs.dust.tt/docs/n8n

This is super helpful. Exactly what you're mentioning is possible and I'll build it like that - I'm sure it will have it's hiccups and disadvantages but this is already directionally the way to do it. Thanks so much!

So these are my options:

My question I suppose would be— any thoughts on my thought process above? Your context on each of the three capabilities would save me a lot of time of setting all three options myself to compare them.

Hi Remi, sorry rereading my question I see it wasn't well phrased: I want to use n8n/Pipedream to connect Dust to VAPI. This way I can have a "call" with my knowledgebase. Any advice on how to do this? I can think of a few solutions (e.g. using the Dust n8n community node or a webhook to Pipedream or a Dust app) but am not sure if you have any thoughts on what would be "best" from an experience perspective. For example, I don't think the Dust n8n community node reveals the agent's thought process but it's possible that the Dust app does. Between the two, I would choose the option that reveals the thought process as it would make a more natural voice chat experience. Does that make sense?
