Snowflake’s AI Innovations: Transforming Enterprise Data Management

April 23, 2026 Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), the AI Data Cloud company, today announced significant updates across Snowflake Intelligence and Cortex Code, advancing its vision to become the control plane for the agentic enterprise. As AI systems evolve from answering questions to taking action, these enhancements enable organizations to connect even more data sources, enterprise systems, and AI models with their trusted Snowflake data within a unified experience.

In addition, Cortex Code is expanding as a builder layer for enterprise AI, bringing governed, data-native development across the enterprise data ecosystem so builders can create, orchestrate, and operationalize AI directly within the tools and systems they already use.


These purpose-built agents support a diverse set of users and use cases across technical and business teams, centralizing how organizations govern, connect, and orchestrate their data, models, and enterprise apps — cementing Snowflake as the control plane for enterprise AI.
