November 2026 Summaries

Dataiku’s AI-for-Good Program, launched in 2019, supports nonprofits through volunteer data experts and AI tools, reaching 18 NGO partners globally in 2024. In France, Les Restos du Cœur uses machine-learning time-series forecasting to improve weekly meal distribution planning for its 1.3 million beneficiaries, saving an estimated 110 volunteer hours each week across French warehouses, while developing a recommendation system that could save up to 1,000 hours weekly in meal-selection work. In the United States, Aspire Institute uses Dataiku to extract and normalize CRM data and apply machine learning to screen and rank applications for its leadership program, processing more than 100,000 applications from over 160 countries and reducing the burden of manual reviews. Through these projects, the program aims to help nonprofits make more data-informed decisions, improve operational efficiency, and expand their social impact in areas including food assistance, education, and career advancement.

ENGIE Supply & Energy Management uses Dataiku to support more than 250 users, approximately 80% of whom are nontechnical, across energy supply, trading, risk, and asset optimization activities. As Dataiku adoption expanded for ETL, large-scale data processing, and IoT data from renewable assets, a three-person central support team faced growing volumes of failed-job reports, connection problems, administrative requests, and standards-related questions. ENGIE developed an AI support system through Dataiku’s Agent Hub, which orchestrates four specialized agents and roughly 24 tools across 25 servers to troubleshoot issues, retrieve guidance, perform administrative actions, assess projects against internal standards, and prepare escalations requiring human judgment. By automating routine support work and directing people to experts only when necessary, the organization estimates the system provides a 20% productivity gain, returning roughly one day per week to each member of the support team for higher-value community improvement work.
