As enterprises move from isolated AI pilots to large-scale operational deployment, governed AI workflows and trusted data foundations are becoming essential for turning business intent into measurable outcomes. Dataiku and Snowflake are expanding their collaboration with the launch of Cobuild on Snowflake, enabling organisations to build, govern and operationalise AI workflows securely at enterprise scale.
Dataiku, the Platform for AI Success, has 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 operationalise AI with the governance, transparency and cost controls required at enterprise scale.
The launch also reflects growing momentum between Dataiku and Snowflake, including hundreds of joint customers globally who can immediately benefit from the integrated solution.
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.
“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,” said Florian Douetteau, Co-founder and CEO of Dataiku. “With Cobuild on Snowflake, organisations can bring the speed of AI-assisted development into a governed process with visual workflows that teams can inspect, validate and improve before production.”
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. Dataiku enhances how teams build on Cortex AI, helping domain experts, analysts and technical teams work together in a single workspace to translate business expertise into governed agents and workflows that operate with more context, accuracy and control. Instead of opaque generated code, teams get an inspectable project where every step can be reviewed, edited, governed and approved before deployment.
“Snowflake Cortex AI brings leading models directly to governed enterprise data, so organisations 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, optimised and operationalised 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
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.
Built for Snowflake customers ready to scale AI
Cobuild on Snowflake extends Dataiku and Snowflake’s deep technical integration, which already spans visual data prep in-warehouse, ML training on Snowpark Container Services, batch and real-time ML inference, Iceberg catalog support, Cortex Agents, Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search, Cortex REST API and Cortex AI Functions. With Cobuild on Snowflake, that foundation becomes a governed AI development environment for customers connecting trusted data, leading LLMs and Dataiku orchestration so business users can build, technical teams can validate and governance leaders can trust what 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.
