Dataiku, the Platform for AI Success, today announced the launch of Cobuild on Snowflake, a new way for joint customers to turn natural-language intent into governed AI agents and workflows on Snowflake. The integration pairs Snowflake Cortex AI's secure, native access to leading LLMs with Dataiku's enterprise AI orchestration layer, helping Global 2000 companies expand who can build and operationalize AI with the governance, transparency, and cost controls required at enterprise scale.

  • Cobuild on Snowflake converts natural-language intent into visual Dataiku workflows for data preparation, ML, AI agents, and applications.

  • Powered by Snowflake Cortex AI with leading foundation models; executed within customers' Snowflake environments.

  • Hundreds of joint customers globally can immediately benefit from the integrated solution.

  • Dataiku integration spans visual data prep in-warehouse, ML training on Snowpark Container Services, batch/real-time ML inference, Iceberg catalog, Cortex Agents, Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search, and Cortex AI Functions.

  • Cobuild initially accessible for joint customers building with Dataiku on Snowflake, with broader access planned.

  • Dataiku is enterprise orchestration layer for building, deploying, and governing AI.

Leadership Commentary

“Consumer AI tools can make code appear instantly, but enterprises cannot afford to unleash opaque, unvalidated workflows into environments where accuracy, compliance, safety, and cost control matter,” explained Florian Douetteau, co-founder and CEO of Dataiku. “With Cobuild on Snowflake, organizations can bring the speed of AI-assisted development into a governed process with visual workflows that teams can inspect, validate, and improve before production.”

“Snowflake Cortex AI brings leading models directly to governed enterprise data, so organizations can build and run AI where their business context already lives,” said Baris Gultekin, VP of AI, Snowflake. “With Dataiku's Cobuild, customers can accelerate how business intent is translated into visual, governed workflows that can be inspected, optimized, and operationalized at scale. That combination matters as enterprises move AI into production and need accurate systems that they can trust.”

From AI Coding Assistance to Governed AI Building

AI coding assistants have fundamentally reshaped software development. But enterprises can't apply the same approach to AI workflows without inheriting the problems: opaque outputs, no observability, and pipelines that teams can't inspect before they ship. Cobuild on Snowflake gives joint Snowflake and Dataiku customers a different path: AI-assisted building that is native to Snowflake, visual for non-technical users, and governed by design for production from the start.

Powered by leading foundation models available through Cortex AI, Cobuild interprets a user's business objective and converts it into a visual Dataiku workflow for data preparation, machine learning, AI agents, and applications. Instead of opaque generated code, teams get an inspectable project where every step can be reviewed, edited, governed, and approved before deployment.

Built for Snowflake Customers Ready to Scale AI

Cobuild on Snowflake is designed to enhance how teams participate in AI development without turning enterprise AI into another black box. A user can describe a goal in natural language — prepare data for analysis, improve a model, or create an AI agent for a business process — and Cobuild generates a complete Dataiku workflow that teams can inspect and refine. Business users can understand what was built, data teams can validate the logic, and IT and governance teams can apply controls before anything moves into production.

Availability

Cobuild on Snowflake is initially accessible for joint customers building with Dataiku on Snowflake, followed by broader access for Snowflake customers interested in adding Dataiku. All AI generation is designed to execute within customers' Snowflake environments through secure REST API integration. 

About Dataiku

Dataiku is the Platform for AI Success, the enterprise orchestration layer for building, deploying, and governing AI. In a single environment, teams design and operate analytics, machine learning, and AI agents with the transparency, collaboration, and control enterprises require.
