The Real Differentiation
Dashworks
Dashworks built a solid workplace Q&A tool. It connected 50+ apps and answered questions with citations through its own web app, Slack bot, and Chrome extension. It was well-designed for mid-market teams that wanted enterprise search without enterprise complexity. But it was still another app — and when HubSpot acquired it in 2025, the standalone product was shut down.
Context Link
Context Link takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of building another app that sits between your team and their AI, it runs inside the AI tools they already use — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot. Connect your knowledge sources once (Notion, Google Docs, Google Drive, email, Basecamp, websites, uploaded files) and any team member can retrieve context from any AI conversation. Plus, Memories let you save canonical facts, brand voice, and approved claims as AI-owned living documents that every future conversation can draw from.
Dashworks was another app to adopt. Context Link is a layer inside the apps you already have.
Meet your team where they already work
Your team stays on the best AI tools for them — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot. Context Link upgrades every conversation with your company's actual knowledge. Easy adoption, zero workflow disruption.

What Dashworks Did Well
Dashworks was a well-built product that solved real problems before its acquisition. Here's what it did well — and what you might be looking to replace.
Real-time federated search
Dashworks didn't build a static index. It searched live across connected apps at query time, so results always reflected the current state of your tools.
Slack-native experience
The Dashworks Slack bot was its strongest feature. It sat in team channels, automatically detected questions, and answered with citations — handling up to 45% of repetitive questions without human involvement.
Broad connector coverage
With 50+ integrations spanning CRM, project management, HRIS, and messaging tools, Dashworks could reach into most corners of a company's tech stack.
Cited answers with source links
Every Dashworks response linked back to the source documents, so you could verify the AI's work. This built genuine trust with users.
Permission-aware search
Dashworks synced access controls from connected apps, so employees only saw answers from content they were authorized to access.
What Context Link Does Differently
No new app to adopt (or lose)
Runs inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. Your team doesn't change their workflow — and your knowledge layer doesn't disappear if any single vendor gets acquired.
Model-agnostic
Not locked to one AI or one interface. Different team members can use different tools. Switch models as they improve. No vendor lock-in.
Connect the tools you already have
Notion, Google Docs, Google Drive, email (Gmail, Outlook, Zoho, Fastmail, IMAP), Basecamp, any website, uploaded files (PDFs, Word docs, Markdown). No content migration.
Minutes to value
Connect your sources and start retrieving context the same day. No IT department, no deployment project, no onboarding sessions.
Memories — AI-owned living documents
Save brand voice, approved claims, product facts, and canonical definitions to /slash routes. One source of truth that every team member's AI can access. Dashworks had no equivalent.
SMB-friendly pricing
Built for teams of 3-200. No 10-seat minimums, no enterprise-only features behind 'contact sales' pricing.
Semantic search across all sources
Ask 'get context on {topic}' and Context Link retrieves the most relevant snippets from everything you've connected. Search by meaning, not keywords.
Compounds over time
Every connected source and saved Memory makes every future AI conversation more accurate. Your AI gets smarter about your business the more you use it.
