Snowflake has unveiled a significant expansion of its AI capabilities at its annual Snowflake Summit 2025, solidifying its transition from a data warehouse to a comprehensive AI platform. CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy emphasized that "Snowflake is where data does more," highlighting the company's commitment to providing users with advanced AI tools directly integrated into their workflows. The announcements showcase a broad range of features aimed at simplifying data analysis, enhancing data integration, and streamlining AI development for business users.

Snowflake Intelligence and Cortex AI are central to the company's new AI-driven approach. Snowflake Intelligence acts as an agentic experience that enables business users to query data using natural language and take actions based on the insights they receive. Cortex Agents, Snowflake’s orchestration layer, supports multistep reasoning across both structured and unstructured data. A key advantage is governance inheritance, which automatically applies Snowflake's existing access controls to AI operations, removing a significant barrier to enterprise AI adoption.

In addition to Snowflake Intelligence, Cortex AISQL allows analysts to process images, documents, and audio within their familiar SQL syntax using native functions. Snowflake is also addressing legacy data workloads with SnowConvert AI, a new tool designed to simplify the migration of data, data warehouses, BI reports, and code to its platform. This AI-powered suite includes a migration assistant, code verification, and data validation, aiming to reduce migration time by half and ensure seamless transitions to the Snowflake platform.
