Dashworks
2019 - 2025, 5 years old
An AI assistant that answered work questions by searching across a company's documents, messages, tickets, and connected apps.
Dashworks was founded in 2019 by Prasad Kawthekar and Pratyaksh Sharma and went through Y Combinator, building an enterprise assistant that answered natural-language questions by pulling across a company's documents, chats, tickets, and apps. It raised about 9.5 million dollars from investors including Y Combinator, Point72, and Twitch cofounder Emmett Shear. In April 2025 HubSpot acquired the company, primarily for the team, and folded the technology into its Breeze AI suite. The standalone Dashworks product stopped taking new sign-ups at the announcement and was wound down, the search assistant becoming a HubSpot feature. It was a soft landing for the founders and a 404 for the product.
