Snowflake Cortex

By bringing frontier AI capabilities including models from Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Meta Llama, and Mistral to the data layer, Cortex eliminates the security, governance, and integration overhead of external AI API calls.

Cortex Analyst is the flagship text-to-SQL feature that allows business users and analysts to ask questions about their Snowflake data in plain English and receive accurate, SQL-powered answers without writing a single query.

Available through Snowflake Intelligence or via REST API, Cortex Analyst democratizes data access across organizations by removing the SQL knowledge barrier enabling any business stakeholder to directly query structured data through a natural language interface with enterprise-grade accuracy and governance.

Cortex Code is an AI coding agent purpose-built for data engineering, analytics, and machine learning workflows. It turns complex data engineering tasks writing transformations, debugging pipelines, building ML models, and constructing agents into simple natural language interactions.

Data engineers can describe what they want to accomplish and Cortex Code generates high-accuracy, production-ready code that integrates seamlessly with the existing Snowflake data stack, dramatically accelerating development cycles.

Cortex Search provides hybrid semantic and keyword search across document collections stored in Snowflake, with fully managed text embedding, retrieval, and ranking built in.

Data teams can build document search and retrieval applications directly within Snowflake without standing up external vector databases, embedding pipelines, or search infrastructure.
