Dashworks alternatives (Dashworks shut down in 2025)
Dashworks let anyone at a company ask a question and get an answer pulled from docs, chat and apps. HubSpot announced it was buying Dashworks on 16 April 2025, the deal closed on 1 May, and the product was switched off on 16 July 2025. Customers had until then to export their data, and prepaid amounts were refunded pro rata (source). The team joined HubSpot to work on its Breeze AI, which lives inside HubSpot rather than as a standalone search tool. If your team relied on Dashworks, these are the tools that do a similar job today. We make one of them, Enhanciar, so weigh our view accordingly.
The short version
- Want the same “ask anything, get an answer with a link” experience, self-serve? Enhanciar.
- Large company, big budget, need 100+ connectors? Glean.
- Want to self-host an open-source tool? Onyx.
- Want a curated, verified knowledge base? Guru.
- Only need answers inside Slack? Question Base.
- Everything already lives in Notion? Notion AI.

What to look for in a Dashworks replacement
- It reads your tools where they are. Dashworks didn't make you move docs anywhere. Look for a tool that connects to Slack, Drive, Notion and the rest, instead of asking you to rewrite everything into a new wiki.
- Every answer shows its source. You should be able to click through to the message or doc and check it yourself.
- Anyone can use it. Sales, support, new hires and founders ask as many questions as engineers do.
- You can start without a sales call. Many Dashworks customers were small teams.
When to pick something other than Enhanciar
Glean if you are a large company and need a long list of connectors, admin controls and an enterprise contract. Onyx if you need to run it on your own servers. Guru if you want a team to write and verify answers by hand. Question Base if Slack is the only place you want answers. Notion AI if nearly all your knowledge is already in Notion.
When Enhanciar fits
You want what Dashworks did: connect Slack, email, Drive, Notion, Jira and GitHub, ask in plain English, and get an answer with a link to where it came from. You want it for the whole team, not just engineers. You'd rather pay a flat subscription plus your own AI tokens than a per-seat enterprise price. And you'd like AI tools like Claude Code or Cursor to ask the same brain over MCP.
Getting started with Enhanciar
- Join early access at enhanciar.in.
- Add an AI key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or a compatible provider.
- Connect the places your team already writes things down: Slack, email, Google Drive, Notion, Jira, GitHub.
- Ask the ten questions people asked most last month, in plain English. Every answer links to where it came from, so you can check it.
- Add the Slack bot (
/invite @Enhanciar) so sales, support and new hires can ask where they already work, and connect AI tools over MCP.
What Enhanciar costs
Solo is $19/month and Team is $80/month on annual billing ($24 and $100 billed monthly). You bring your own AI key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or a compatible provider) and pay that provider directly; Enhanciar adds $0 on tokens. Early access is open: join at enhanciar.in and you get one email when your invite is ready. There is no self-hosted version.
