External Agents

External agents allow you to connect and interact with agents built in third-party platforms directly in Dataiku as managed agents.

Once configured, an external agent can be leveraged anywhere a Dataiku Agent is supported, including:

External Agents have several benefits:

  • They allow you to convert an external agent into a tool to compose larger multi-agent systems. For example, you can write a Dataiku agent that composes a Databricks agent with additional Dataiku logic.

  • They allow you to perform unified governance, by centralizing oversight via the GenAI Registry and Dataiku Govern.

  • They allow you to perform Agent Review and Agent Evaluation on agents, even if they have not been built on the Dataiku Platform

  • They allow you to automate pipelines, for example by leveraging Prompt Recipes in the Flow

  • They allow you to deploy and distribute third party agents via the LLM Mesh API or Dataiku Agent Hub
