Dataiku Inc. today announced a deeper integration with Snowflake Inc. aimed at simplifying the creation of enterprise AI agents while preserving governance and operational controls, a growing concern as organizations move experimental generative AI projects into production.

The new offering, called Cobuild on Snowflake, combines Snowflake Cortex AI services with Dataiku’s orchestration platform to enable business and technical users to create AI workflows and agents using natural-language prompts. The companies said the integration is designed to turn business intent into production-ready workflows that can be reviewed, governed and deployed entirely within Snowflake environments.

The announcement reflects Dataiku’s broader strategy to position itself as an orchestration and governance layer for enterprise AI systems rather than simply a data analytics platform. Over the past year, the company has steadily expanded its focus on agentic AI, introducing capabilities that help enterprises manage large numbers of AI agents, coordinate workflows and maintain visibility into how automated systems behave.

Dataiku said governance, observability and cost management will become essential differentiators as agentic AI moves beyond isolated pilots into large-scale operational environments.
