Dataiku announced on September 24, 2026, at its annual Dataiku Succeed conference, the launch of Agent Management: a standalone product that discovers, measures, and audits the performance of every AI agent a company has in production, regardless of which platform built it. It will reach general availability in October 2026.

The problem it targets: agents with no inventory

According to figures from IBM's "AI in Motion" research, cited in the announcement, fewer than one in five organizations keeps a complete, up-to-date inventory of its AI systems. The pace at which teams are creating and adopting agents — in sales, support, finance, engineering — has far outrun IT and security teams' ability to know how many agents exist, who built them, what access they have, and whether they're actually generating value.

What Agent Management does

The product discovers agents deployed across the most common enterprise platforms — AWS, Databricks, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Salesforce, Snowflake, among others — regardless of whether they were built with those vendors' native tools or with third-party frameworks. From that inventory, it measures each agent's technical and business performance, and explicitly flags which ones represent the greatest risk, whether because of the access they hold, a lack of monitoring, or observed behavior.

Dataiku Agent Management by the numbers: - Announced: September 24, 2026, at the Dataiku Succeed conference - General availability: October 2026 - Platforms it tracks: AWS, Databricks, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Snowflake, and more - Data point driving the product: fewer than 1 in 5 companies has a complete AI inventory (IBM, "AI in Motion") - Pricing model: annual per-instance license plus per-agent monitoring fee

A governance product, not an agent-building one

Dataiku's bet is explicitly "cross-platform": it isn't competing to be the platform where agents get built, but to be the governance layer that sits on top of every platform a company already has. It's a signal of where the enterprise AI tooling market is heading: from "how do I build more agents faster" to "how do I know how many agents I have and whether they're out of control."

The risk this product is trying to solve is already real: the "agent sprawl" pattern — agents created by different teams, on different platforms, with no central registry — is exactly the kind of blind spot behind several agent security incidents reported in 2026, where no one in the organization had full visibility into what credentials or tools each agent held until after the incident.

What it means for your company

If your organization already has agents in production on more than one platform — increasingly common even at mid-sized companies — the question Dataiku is betting you'll ask yourself is simple: can you name, right now, every agent your company has running, what access it has, and who approved it? If the answer is no, it doesn't have to be this specific product, but it is a sign that agent governance needs to be treated as a core IT function, with the same rigor as employee identity management, rather than a detail each team figures out on its own.

For IT or security teams: before buying any agent-governance tool — from Dataiku or another vendor — it's worth doing the manual exercise once: list every known agent, its platform, its access, and its owner. That exercise alone usually turns up more "ghost" agents than any team expects to find.
