Snowflake Intelligence Is Here — Chat with Your Data

Snowflake

Getting answers from business data is often slow and complicated. Teams juggle dashboards, reports, and apps like Salesforce or Zendesk, while data teams are buried in requests. AI has promised to help, but turning enterprise data into real-time, reliable insights has remained a challenge until now.

Snowflake Intelligence (soon in public preview) is here to change that. It’s a new AI-powered experience that lets employees chat directly with their data, uncover deep insights, and even take action all from one simple interface.

What can it do?

  • Ask questions in plain language, like talking to a teammate.
  • Access both structured and unstructured data from tables to chat logs.
  • Get accurate, actionable insights using built-in AI.
  • Take instant action, like sending alerts or updating records.

Imagine asking: “Why were sales down in the West last quarter?” and getting a full, data-backed answer plus suggested next steps in seconds.

Enriched with External Knowledge

With Cortex Knowledge Extensions, Snowflake can combine your internal data with trusted external sources like Stack Overflow and USA TODAY, all while maintaining top-tier security and governance.

Cortex

Why It Stands Out?

  • Understands both structured data (like SQL queries) and unstructured content.
  • Inherits Snowflake’s enterprise-grade security, with no need to rebuild access rules.
  • Connects with apps like Salesforce and Zendesk for full business context.
  • Provides transparent, explainable results, you’ll know where insights come from.

Real-World Impact

Companies like WHOOP are already seeing benefits. Their analysts now focus on strategy instead of digging for data, and employees get insights instantly.

The Future of Business Intelligence

Snowflake Intelligence empowers users across the organization.

  • Business teams get answers faster.
  • Data teams focus on high-value work.
  • Leaders drive a data-first culture with secure, AI-driven insights.

With support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Cortex Agents, the platform becomes even more powerful, pulling in data from various sources into one secure, AI-native chat experience.
