Dashworks is shutting down, and if your team relied on it to find answers across your tools, now is the time to switch. You need a solution that’s fast, secure, and purpose-built for enterprise search, not a generic assistant bundled into a larger platform.
Akooda gives you everything you liked about Dashworks, plus more. It connects to all your tools, understands context, and surfaces the answers and insights your team needs while maintaining strict data privacy and avoiding indexing. If you're looking for a focused, reliable, and powerful replacement, Akooda is ready.
What does the Dashworks Sunset mean for you?
If your organization relies on Dashworks, you’ve likely heard the news: Dashworks is joining HubSpot’s platform. The standalone Dashworks product will be sunset by July 16, 2025
In other words, the tool you use daily to find answers at work is going away. As part of the HubSpot ecosystem, Dashworks will no longer be offered as a standalone product, and its features are being folded into HubSpot’s AI assistant tools.
This means your current subscription will end, access to the Dashworks interface will be discontinued, and any saved content or workflows unique to Dashworks may be lost unless exported. If you are not already using HubSpot or don’t plan to adopt its broader platform, you will need to find a new dedicated solution for enterprise search.
Your Concerns Are Valid
If you're using Dashworks today, you're probably asking some very reasonable questions. Here’s what you need to know as the platform sunsets, and how Akooda is designed to meet your expectations without compromise.
❓What happens to our internal knowledge and workflows when Dashworks shuts down?
Most of your knowledge isn’t stored in Dashworks itself. It lives in the tools you already use, like Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Jira, and Confluence. Dashworks acted as a layer that made this information searchable in one place. When the platform shuts down, the content remains, but the unified search experience disappears.
For any data that was saved directly in Dashworks, such as Q&A entries, bookmarks, or custom knowledge cards, the platform provides export options so nothing is lost.
Akooda restores and even improves that experience. It connects to the same tools, preserves your workflows, and ensures your team can continue finding what they need without disruption.
❓How difficult is the migration process?
Migration is simpler than it may seem. Since Dashworks didn’t host your actual data, there is no need to move or convert large volumes of content. Akooda connects directly to your existing tools and replicates that unified search layer in just a few steps.
If you have saved Q&A entries or bookmarks from Dashworks, those can be exported and imported into Akooda. Our team supports the entire process to ensure setup is quick and painless.
❓Can we trust another tool with our sensitive data?
Yes. Akooda was designed with data privacy and security as top priorities. We do not index or store your raw data, and we fully respect the permissions already set in your connected tools.
Your content stays exactly where it is. Akooda simply makes it easier to access, without exposing or duplicating sensitive information. We also meet enterprise-grade standards including SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance.
❓Will we lose any important functionality?
Not at all. Akooda includes all the core features you relied on in Dashworks, like natural language search across multiple tools, and extends them with more advanced capabilities.
You’ll gain real-time analytics, trend tracking, customizable dashboards, and operational insights that go beyond basic document retrieval. Akooda is not just a replacement. It is an upgrade.
❓How do we know Akooda is here to stay?
It is a fair question. Dashworks is ending because it was acquired and folded into a broader platform. Akooda, by contrast, is a focused and independent product. Enterprise search and operational intelligence are our core mission, not a feature buried inside a larger suite.
We are committed to long-term product development, customer success, and giving you a platform you can rely on today and in the future.
Why Akooda Stands Out
Pure Enterprise Search Experience
Akooda was designed to solve the same core challenge Dashworks addressed: helping teams find the information they need, no matter where it lives. You can search across dozens of tools, using natural language, and get accurate, context-aware answers powered by advanced AI.
Simple, Seamless Integration
Connecting Akooda to your existing stack is fast and straightforward. We offer plug-and-play integrations with Google Workspace, Slack, Salesforce, Notion, Jira, Microsoft 365, HubSpot, and many more popular workplace apps. You can recreate your Dashworks environment without complicated migrations or data transfers.
Fast Time to Value
Replacing a critical tool should not take months. With Akooda, you can start connecting data sources on day one. Most teams have a fully searchable knowledge base up and running within 24 hours, and our team is here to support your setup and ensure everything works smoothly.
Search That Turns Into Insight
Akooda goes beyond finding documents. It helps you understand the bigger picture behind the data such as trends, performance indicators, and patterns across your workflows, so you can make smarter and faster decisions.
Enterprise-Level Security and Compliance
Data privacy is core to how Akooda operates. We do not index or store your raw content. Instead, we access it in real time while respecting existing permissions. Akooda meets strict standards including SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA, giving your team full control and peace of mind.
Built for This and Here to Stay
Akooda is not a side feature of a larger suite. It is a focused, purpose-built platform for enterprise search and operational insight. Unlike Dashworks, which is being absorbed into HubSpot, Akooda is here for the long term and constantly improving to serve organizations that depend on fast, secure access to information.

Replacing a platform like Dashworks is a big decision. We encourage you to experience Akooda firsthand and evaluate it with your own use cases. The best way to do that is to take advantage of our offerings for interested teams:
Request a Live Demo: Schedule a personalized demo where we can show you Akooda’s interface working on sample data (or even set up a quick integration with one of your data sources). We’ll walk you through a day in the life with Akooda, from asking a question in the search bar to exploring a dashboard and setting up an alert.
This will give you a feel for the product’s look and feel, and you can ask us any detailed questions. (Our demos are no-pressure and tailored to what you want to see, whether that’s security under the hood or a specific integration, just let us know.)

Within just a few days, you can have Akooda running with a subset of your data. This gives your team a chance to explore the platform, evaluate its performance, and experience the value firsthand. Many teams report that once they try it, they uncover more relevant search results and new insights they hadn't seen before.
