Snowflake Cortex AI

Snowflake Cortex AI is a set of generative AI services built into Snowflake, designed to run LLMs, analyze multimodal data, and create intelligent applications close to where your data lives.

Generative AI inside Snowflake

Cortex AI provides access to production-grade LLMs through SQL and APIs. It helps turn conversations, documents, and images into structured outputs while keeping data within Snowflake’s managed environment to support security and compliance needs.

Use cases for analysts and developers

Analysts can call models directly from SQL queries to enrich dashboards and reporting with generative analysis. Developers can use Cortex AI to add AI capabilities to products without standing up separate ML infrastructure.

• Generate summaries, classifications, and structured fields from text
• Analyze images alongside other data sources
• Build agents, chat experiences, and AI-powered features via API

Scale and governance

Cortex AI scales with your Snowflake data platform and uses existing access controls and governance mechanisms. This makes it easier to test generative AI safely and move AI features into production within a single controlled perimeter.
