Dataiku
Also known as: Dataiku Universal AI Platform, LLM Mesh
Enterprise AI and machine learning platform with an agentic layer for building and governing agents.
Dataiku is an enterprise AI platform, founded in 2013 with offices in New York and Paris, that has extended its data preparation, machine learning, and analytics environment to build, run, and govern AI agents in the same place. Analysts, data scientists, and developers work side by side through no-code, low-code, and full-code interfaces on one governed foundation.
Agents come in several forms: simple visual agents, structured visual agents that lay out a sequence with routing, delegation to other agents, parallel branches, loops, and reflection, code agents in Python, and external agents from Snowflake Cortex, Databricks, AWS Bedrock, and Google Vertex AI.
They call tools such as API endpoints, OpenAPI specifications, MCP servers, and Knowledge Bank search over vector stores with document-level security, can keep long-term memory per user, and can be set to pause for a person's approval before a sensitive tool call.
Underneath sits the LLM Mesh, which gives administrators governed connections to OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Vertex, Mistral, NVIDIA NIM, Snowflake Cortex, locally hosted models, and others, with cost control, rate limiting, and guardrails for PII, prompt injection, and toxicity.
Agents reach people through Agent Hub, Agent Chat, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, run unattended inside automation scenarios on schedules or data changes, and are exposed to other systems through REST and Python APIs, an A2A server, and an MCP server. Every call returns a nested trace with tokens and cost for the Trace Explorer, and an Evaluate Agent recipe and Agent Review score answers and tool paths across versions. Dataiku Solutions add ready-made GenAI and agent solutions for selling, supplier management, clinical trials, medical entity extraction, and finance insights.
Dataiku runs as the fully managed Dataiku Cloud or on a company's own infrastructure. Its trust program lists ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 42001 certification and SOC 2 Type II for Dataiku Cloud. A free edition and a 14-day cloud trial are available, and paid editions are quoted by sales. It suits enterprises that want agents on the same governed platform as their analytics and models; teams wanting a turnkey conversational agent will find a broad build-it-yourself platform instead.

Integrations
Connects to any cloud provider, data platform, and GenAI service, with the LLM Mesh routing across more than a dozen model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral. A plugin ecosystem, full Python and LangChain support, and the Agent Connect hub let teams integrate external agents, tools, and enterprise data into governed workflows.
In practice
You want agents but refuse to lock into one model vendor. Dataiku's LLM Mesh routes agents across OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and self hosted models, so you swap providers per use case without rewriting a thing.
Compliance will not let unmonitored agents touch production. Dataiku registers, risk scores, and signs off every agent like a model, traces each tool call, and evaluates output continuously against defined quality expectations.
Analysts and data scientists need to build agents on the same trusted data. Dataiku gives a no code canvas and full Python with LangChain over one governed layer, grounding agents in your pipelines and business logic.

View sourcePricing
Free Edition and 14 day cloud trial; paid editions through sales
users and platform capabilities
Included quota
Trial: 2 users, 1 API service, 4 CPUs, 32 GiB elastic compute for 14 days. Free Edition: local install, limits not stated on the page read.
What is public
The Free Edition download and the 14 day Dataiku Cloud trial with its limits are public. Paid editions, hybrid deployment and commercial terms are quoted by sales; no paid price is published and the former /product/pricing URL returns 404.
Billing mechanics
Free Edition to start, then enterprise editions priced by number of users and enabled capabilities, sold through sales. Agentic features and the LLM Mesh are part of the platform; the Mesh adds central control over underlying LLM token spend.
Cost watchouts
Beyond platform licensing, running agents incurs LLM token costs from the chosen providers. The LLM Mesh Cost Guard helps enforce budgets, but heavy agent usage still drives model spend.
Variable cost rationale
Enterprise pricing scales with users and capabilities; the LLM Mesh centralizes and controls model spend, but underlying LLM token costs and scaling agents add usage based cost.
Additional watchouts
Enterprise pricing scales with users and capabilities and is not public; separately, agents incur underlying LLM token costs, which the LLM Mesh helps cap but does not remove.
Sales call required
Yes, required for paid access
Free / trial
Free Edition for local install on Linux, macOS or Windows (experimental); 14 day Dataiku Cloud trial with 2 users, 1 API service, 4 CPUs and 32 GiB elastic compute, no credit card, all features except Govern and advanced LLM Mesh.
Key ambiguities
No paid figure is published; editions, users and deployment are quoted by sales, and model token costs sit on top.
