SAN FRANCISCO, June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), the AI Data Cloud company, today announced at its annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 2025, new agentic AI innovations that bridge the gap between enterprise data and business action, making AI and ML workflows easy, connected, and trusted for technical and non-technical users alike.
Snowflake Intelligence (public preview soon) offers business users and data professionals a unified conversational experience — powered by intelligent data agents — to ask natural language questions and instantly uncover actionable insights from both structured tables and unstructured documents. Snowflake is also unveiling Data Science Agent (private preview soon), an agentic companion that boosts data scientists’ productivity by automating routine ML model development tasks. These innovations enable users to simplify their AI and ML workflows, democratize access to data across their businesses, and eliminate the technical overhead that slows down business decision-making — all through natural language interactions within Snowflake.
"AI agents are a major leap from traditional automation or chatbots, but in order to deploy them at scale, businesses need an AI-ready information ecosystem. This means enterprises must be able to unite data silos, maintain enterprise-grade security and compliance, and have easy ways to adopt and build agents," said Baris Gultekin, Head of AI, Snowflake. "Snowflake Intelligence breaks down these barriers by democratizing the ability to extract meaningful intelligence from an organization’s entire enterprise data estate — structured and unstructured data alike. This isn't just about accessing data, it's about empowering every employee to make faster, smarter decisions with all of their business context at their fingertips."
"At WHOOP, our mission is to unlock human performance and healthspan, and data is central to everything we do. Snowflake Intelligence marks a big step forward in our ability to be a data-first organization, ensuring that all employees can access insights without relying on analytics teams as the intermediary," said Matt Luizzi, Sr. Director of Business Analytics, WHOOP. "By eliminating the technical barriers to gleaning the insights we need for decision-making, our analytics teams can now shift from manual data retrieval tasks to more strategic, predictive, and value-generating work."
Snowflake Intelligence Reimagines Business Intelligence, Without the Overhead
Today, organizations are plagued by inefficient decision-making due to disjointed data governance, silos between data formats, and a shortage of technical data analysts who can code and synthesize information across the business. Snowflake Intelligence eliminates these operational challenges, allowing non-technical users and business teams to have conversations with their enterprise data in natural language — all without writing a single line of code.
Running directly inside organizations’ existing Snowflake environment, Snowflake Intelligence inherits all security controls, data masking, and governance policies automatically. It unifies data across sources including Snowflake, Box, Google Drive, Salesforce Data Cloud via Zero Copy, Workday, Zendesk, and more, using the new Snowflake Openflow to bring together insights from spreadsheets, documents, images, and databases simultaneously. By leveraging natural language prompts, the data agents powering Snowflake Intelligence can generate visualizations and assist users in taking action on insights. From analyzing business metrics to looking up helpful internal knowledge, Snowflake Intelligence enables every employee to easily access and harness the full potential of their company’s data. Snowflake Intelligence can also access third-party knowledge through Cortex Knowledge Extensions (generally available soon) on Snowflake Marketplace, and incorporate expert content from Packt, Stack Overflow, the USA TODAY Network, and more to further contextualize and enrich responses.
Snowflake Intelligence is powered by state-of-the-art large language models from Anthropic and OpenAI, running inside the Snowflake perimeter, and is powered by Cortex Agents (generally available soon) under the hood — all delivered through an intuitive, no-code interface that helps provide transparency and explainability.
"By integrating Claude's reasoning capabilities directly into Snowflake's platform, we're further eliminating the traditional barriers between data and insights. Business users can now have natural conversations with their enterprise data, while data scientists can automate complex ML workflows — all through simple natural language interactions," said Michael Gerstenhaber, VP, Product Management, Anthropic. "This demonstrates how Claude's advanced reasoning can democratize AI while maintaining the enterprise-grade security and governance that organizations require."
Data Science Agent Automates Tedious ML Tasks, Saving Hours of Manual Work
Data scientists spend lengthy cycles on developing and troubleshooting their ML workflows, leading to operational bottlenecks and fewer ML models making their way to production. Now, Snowflake is bringing agentic AI to ML workflows with Data Science Agent to boost productivity for ML teams by slashing hours of manual work.
Data Science Agent uses Anthropic’s Claude to break down problems associated with ML workflows into distinct steps, such as data analysis, data preparation, feature engineering, and training. Combining advanced techniques such as multi-step reasoning, contextual understanding, and action execution, Data Science Agent provides verified solutions in the form of fully functional ML pipelines that can be easily executed from a Snowflake Notebook. With suggested improvements, or with user provided follow-ups, Data Science Agent helps users easily iterate to the next-best version. By automating this tedious work, data science teams save hours of time that they would typically spend on experimentation or debugging — and can instead focus on higher-impact initiatives.
Snowflake Accelerates Enterprise AI Adoption for More Than 5,200 Customers
Today, over 5,200¹ customers from companies like BlackRock, Luminate, and Penske Logistics are using Snowflake Cortex AI to transform their businesses. To further empower users to harness the power of AI, Snowflake is also announcing new innovations in AI building blocks for advanced conversational apps, unstructured data analytics, and ML. Teams can explore and analyze multi-modal data at scale with enhanced document processing, batch semantic search, and the new CortexAISQL (now in public preview) to bridge the gap between data analysts and AI engineering skills.
