Against the backdrop of rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, AI platform company Dataiku announced the launch of its new AI Agent capabilities on April 24, 2025, in New York. This new functionality aims to help businesses create and manage AI agents more efficiently, thereby driving the widespread adoption of AI applications.
Dataiku noted that over 20% of its existing customers have begun integrating generative AI into their business and data workflows, with many boasting over 1000 active project instances. As businesses rapidly deploy AI agents, they face challenges of disorganized architecture, inconsistent agent quality and relevance, and overall management chaos. Therefore, Dataiku aims to enhance AI agent governance through its "universal AI platform," transforming it into a true enterprise system.

Dataiku's CEO, Florian Douetteau, stated: "AI is a powerful tool, and businesses need to take control of it. Currently, enterprises are on the verge of reshaping applications built over the past two decades based on systems like Snowflake, Workday, and SAP. This new layer of AI-native applications is precisely what Dataiku delivers."
To address the widespread adoption of AI agents, Dataiku has introduced centralized management creation methods, including no-code visual agent creation and full-code options for developers, making it accessible even to non-technical business users. These tools aim to ensure governance and quality, offering a range of features:
Agent management tools to ensure the quality and validation of the tools used.
A generative AI registry to provide strategic oversight of agent use cases.
A sign-off process for risk monitoring to validate agents before production deployment.
As the AI agent ecosystem evolves, security and governance risks also increase. IT teams are caught between managing their own safeguards, locking down a single vendor, or opening up experimentation. Dataiku provides IT teams with comprehensive capabilities, including:
Dataiku LLM Mesh, managing model access across all providers.
Dataiku Safe Guard, enabling flexible definition and application of safeguards.
Agent Connect, centrally managing agent access across the entire company.
Furthermore, Dataiku recognizes that AI agent systems are prone to unexpected errors and performance may degrade over time. Therefore, businesses need to maintain a mindset of continuous optimization, regularly testing and monitoring agent performance. To this end, Dataiku provides a suite of performance monitoring tools, including:
Trace Explorer, ensuring transparency in the agent decision-making process.
Quality Guard, continuously assessing and monitoring agent performance.
Cost Guard, tracking usage and budget in real-time.
Through compatibility with major cloud environments, model providers, and data platforms, Dataiku provides businesses with a flexible and efficient AI agent management solution, making AI deployment and integration smoother.
