Dust just raised forty million dollars to put AI agents inside your company's Slack, Notion, and GitHub. That's the lead signal today, and it fits a broader pattern that's become hard to ignore: enterprise AI is moving from experimentation into infrastructure.

The most structurally interesting data point today isn't a funding round. It's Lovable.
