Snowflake is enhancing its data analysis capabilities with the introduction of AISQL, a new feature within its Cortex AI platform. AISQL leverages generative AI to power SQL functions, enabling data analysts to directly analyze unstructured data using SQL without the need for specialized expertise or involvement from data engineers. This functionality is designed to simplify tasks such as sentiment analysis and image classification.

AISQL is part of Snowflake’s Cortex AI, which already offers serverless functions that can be called from SQL or Python. It aims to improve query performance, reduce reliance on data engineers and data scientists, and cut costs. By incorporating large language models (LLMs) from Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, and OpenAI, AISQL generates SQL functions that analyze unstructured data more efficiently.

The launch of AISQL is part of Snowflake's broader strategy to make AI application development more accessible. Recent enhancements to Cortex, including Cortex Agents and a conversational interface, demonstrate Snowflake's commitment to providing users with tools to build and deploy AI applications using their own data. Additionally, Snowflake has partnered with Stack Overflow, making their data available on the Snowflake Marketplace to enrich AI applications with trusted, high-quality information.
