Dataiku has launched Headless, a capability that lets developers build, migrate and troubleshoot Dataiku projects from coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
Headless brings Dataiku Cobuild, the company's natural-language agentic interface, into the coding tools technical teams already use. The coding agent finds the relevant Dataiku context and hands the building work to Cobuild, which creates it in Dataiku as a visual flow, datasets, transformations, models and custom agents that the team can inspect. Dataiku unveiled the product at its Succeed conference.
The company describes three uses. Developers can build pipelines, models, dashboards and agents as Dataiku projects. They can migrate legacy work, such as an Excel workbook or an Alteryx workflow, which a coding agent analyses and then rebuilds as a governed visual project, and Dataiku says agents can repeat this hundreds or thousands of times. Administrators can ask an agent to find jobs failing across several projects and change settings to fix them.
Jed Dougherty, SVP of AI and Platform at Dataiku, said: "Developers aren't going to stop working in Claude Code or Codex, and we don't think they should have to". Dataiku's aim is to turn speed in the coding tool into something the rest of the business can review and run in production, instead of a script only its author can read.
Dataiku cites Gartner's prediction that by 2027 more than 65% of engineering teams using agentic coding will treat traditional development environments as optional. Headless is due to be generally available in October 2026 as a plugin through the Claude Code and Codex marketplaces, and is also compatible with Cursor, Snowflake CoCo, GitHub Copilot, AWS Kiro and other agentic coding tools.
