Creating a Dust App from Chain-of-Prompts: Build Process Explained

Hey Dust team, I'd like to create a dust app from a chain-of-prompts but I'm not sure how the build process works? To make it clear, at the moment I have :

Assistant 1 : Input 1
Assistant 2 : Input 2
Assistant 3 : No input Needed
Assistant 4 : Input 3
Assistant 5 : No Input Needed

My main objective would be to have a masterPrompt that would ask me for inputs 1, 2 and 3 at the beginning, executing one assistant after the other and only displaying the output of assistant 5.

Hey Etienne Dubois 👋 it can be done using Dust app and Make/Zapier integration but it’s not straightforward (at all). To team is working on an easier way to have agents call other agents. I’d wait for this to be released (likely in the coming weeks) before exploring alternatives :)

Ok Remi, love it ! Just to make sure, not possible with N8n but only with Make/Zapier at the moment ?
Remi

Yes n8n works too. The TLDR of how you’d go about doing it is: Create a Dust app that calls the n8n API to launch a flow that calls a Dust agent and gives agent answer’s as output. Implementation isn’t 100% straightforward though but it’s a great practice to learn about advanced automations in Dust

Great thanks Remi ! Can’t wait for the release at the meantime 😍

Just to make sure Remi, proceeding via N8n, could the inputs & outputs be available directly into Dust ?
Remi

Etienne Dubois not sure to understand 👀 you can send as input to the agent anything you have in n8n, you can then use the output of one agent in any way you want (including as input to another agent)

My main goal would be to automate certain prompts for which I don't need a human review at the start of a larger chain of prompts (having a Masterprompt to run steps 1 to 5 in 1 click, then resume Dust from step 5 to step 9). -> Basically, I would like to add the inputs from steps 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 before starting the prompt, make them running one after the other automatically and receive, on Dust, the outputs from each of them in order to continue my chain-of-prompts.

I think it should be doable! But might require a bit of bricolage 😊

Could you do a short TLDR on the last part : How to put back an output into Dust automatically ?

Hey Remi, by any chance do you have any news on the feature by Dust ?

Hey Etienne Dubois 👋 Unfortunately I don't have any step by step guide to share with you at this time :s
Etienne Dubois

Not for the step by step guide but I was wondering for the prompt chaining project you were telling me "To team is working on an easier way to have agents call other agents. I'd wait for this to be released (likely in the coming weeks) before exploring alternatives :)"

oh! It will be part of the MCP feature released this week https://docs.dust.tt/docs/remote-mcp-server where dust agents will be considered as other "tools" but this specific type of tool are not supported yet unfortunately

Not sure I got it ahah So I'll be able to create a MasterPrompt to build a chain of prompt with MCP ?
Paul Maisondieu
·

If I get this correctly, we can build an MCP server which is using our Dust agents. Then other Dust agents can use this MCP server. Right?
Remi
·
·
Yes! But Dust is working on having their own MCP server to support this natively & make it frictionless

great! And it will be available next week?
Remi
·
·
Not sure - it might take a little while to arrive :s it is not trivial to crack unfortunately
Paul Maisondieu

I bet it is! But is it more a matter of weeks, months, quarters ?..
Remi

I'd say weeks 🤞
