Applied Materials sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Dataiku yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Application

SmartFactory AI Predictive MetrologyApplication

Fab software that uses machine learning to predict metrology measurement values in real time with confidence scores, reducing reliance on physical measurement and auto-retraining models when drift is detected.

SmartFactory AI Run-to-Run Advanced Recipe TuningApplication

Software that augments existing run-to-run process control with machine learning models that recommend recipe parameter adjustments for high-mix, low-volume and nonlinear processes.

SmartFactory Defect ClassificationApplication

AI-based fab software that automatically detects and classifies wafer inspection images into more than 100 defect categories, replacing manual and rule-based defect review.

Hardware

Enlight 3 Optical InspectionHardware

Brightfield optical wafer inspection system whose third-generation ExtractAI technology pairs its scan data with SEMVision eBeam review to separate yield-killing defects from millions of nuisance signals.

KinexHardware

Integrated die-to-wafer hybrid bonding system for HBM, AI accelerators and co-packaged optics, with an AIx-powered software suite providing predictive maintenance, die-level traceability and multi-binning.

SEMVision H20Hardware

Cold field emission eBeam defect review system that integrates deep learning AI to automatically extract and classify yield-killing defects from wafer inspection data.

VistaraHardware

Modular wafer-processing platform holding four to twelve mixed ALD, CVD, epitaxy and etch chambers, instrumented with thousands of sensors that feed Applied's AIx software for machine-learning recipe acceleration.

Dataiku sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Applied Materials yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

AI agent

Dataiku CobuildAI agent

AI building agent that turns a business objective written in plain language into a governed Dataiku project of data pipelines, models, agents and applications rendered as an editable visual workflow.

Agent platform

Dataiku Agent HubAgent platform

Centralised control plane inside the Dataiku platform for creating, orchestrating, deploying and tracking AI agents across teams.

Expert-to-Agent engine that converts subject-matter-expert know-how into governed AI agents grounded in enterprise data with structured reasoning and human oversight.

Infrastructure service

Dataiku Agent ManagementInfrastructure service

Cross-platform governance product that discovers every AI agent an enterprise is running -- on Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure Foundry, Salesforce Agentforce, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Databricks, Snowflake Cortex, n8n or Dataiku itself -- measures each agent's business and technical performance, and flags the ones that pose the greatest risk. Announced 2026-09-24; distinct from Dataiku Agent Hub, which creates and operationalizes agents rather than discovering and governing agents built anywhere.

Dataiku LLM Guard ServicesInfrastructure service

Control layer over the Dataiku LLM Mesh that caps LLM spend, screens prompts and outputs for sensitive or malicious content, and scores model output quality.

Dataiku LLM MeshInfrastructure service

Centralised gateway that routes, meters and governs an organisation's connections to multiple LLM providers from inside the Dataiku platform.
