Enterprise AI

Enterprise AI use cases at Snowflake are revolutionizing how businesses handle data transformation and access. Sridhar Ramaswamy explains that Snowflake's AI capabilities, like Cortex AI, simplify the process of converting unstructured data into structured formats, making it accessible through SQL functions 1. This integration allows enterprises to perform tasks such as summarization and sentiment detection effortlessly. Additionally, Snowflake's platform supports the creation of hybrid applications that leverage AI to enhance structured data access, enabling innovative solutions like cited chatbots 2.

We want to make it broadly available that we call cortex AI. It's a model garden that goes with every snowflake deployed, not rocket science.
