Other Cortex updates, such as Cortex Knowledge Extensions, can also be made use of by the platform, the company said.
Cortex Knowledge Extensions, which will be available inside the Snowflake Marketplace and are currently in preview, are designed to provide data teams a way to enrich enterprise AI chatbots with content from third-party providers, such as research or newspaper publications.
The ability of data agents to take actions on behalf of a user makes the Snowflake Intelligence platform similar to several agentic AI offerings introduced by vendors such as Salesforce, Microsoft, Anthropic, IBM, and ServiceNow.
