Snowflake Inc. unveiled a new Snowflake-native AI coding agent and other tools purpose-built to help organizations move data and AI projects from idea to production faster. With Cortex Code, a data-native AI coding agent that automates and accelerates end-to-end enterprise development, users gain an agent that deeply understands and operates within their enterprise data context. Cortex Code empowers everyone, regardless of their technical expertise, from data experts to domain experts, to build data pipelines, analytics, and AI apps faster, while maintaining enterprise-grade security and governance controls.
Cortex Code joins Snowflake Intelligence as a part of the Snowflake Cortex AI product suite, extending the company?s AI-powered capabilities across the entire enterprise data lifecycle. In addition, Snowflake is introducing new capabilities for vibe coding and a collaborative development environment, so users can innovate more seamlessly. As businesses race to deliver real impact with AI, teams across organizations face growing pressure to move faster without impacting trust, accuracy, or scale.
Yet many coding tools lack the deep, end-to-end understanding of an organization?s data, processes, and constraints, which is required to move quickly from experimentation to real business impact. Existing solutions often focus narrowly on code generation, without understanding the context of enterprise data, governance requirements, or the complex workflows that span data engineering, analytics, and app development. To move data and AI initiatives forward faster and more reliably, organizations require purpose-built tooling that understands their data environments, simplifies complex tasks, and enables sophisticated, trusted workflows through natural language.
Powering this shift is Cortex Code. By translating complex data engineering, analytics, machine learning, and agent-building tasks into simple, natural language workflows, Cortex Code helps teams deliver production-ready outcomes faster. It enables leading organizations like Braze, Decile, dentsu, FYUL, LendingTree, Shelter Mutual Insurance, TextNow, United Rentals, and WHOOP to accelerate time to value and confidently move even the most advanced use cases from idea to production with speed and accuracy.
Unlike generic coding assistants, Cortex Code understands users? Snowflake data, compute, governance, and operational semantics ? while remaining secure by design and strictly governed.
Cortex Code is customizable and interoperable, designed to work wherever users operate across Snowflake experiences and local developer environments. It fits naturally into existing workflows and supports the entire development lifecycle, from design and implementation to optimization and operations. Teams can use Cortex Code within the Snowflake platform through Cortex Code in Snowsight (generally available soon) or within their preferred terminal or code editor like VS Code or Cursor with Cortex Code CLI (now generally available).
To further reduce the friction that slows enterprise AI adoption and delivery, Snowflake is also advancing how users build, deploy, and manage AI-powered data workflows across the stack, from app development to collaboration: Vibe coding for AI apps with v0 by Vercel: A new integration with v0 by Vercel (generally available soon) enables employees, from developers to analysts, to create rich, AI-powered data apps with natural language that can be deployed securely inside of Snowflake through Snowpark Container Services. Agentic web search by Brave Search: A new integration with the Brave Search API (in public preview) brings real-time web knowledge into Snowflake Intelligence, Cortex Code, and Cortex Agents to bridge the gap between internal enterprise data and public world context. This integration enables agents to answer questions about current events, research market trends, and retrieve and source documentation with high accuracy and reduced hallucinations, all within Snowflake.
A secure, end-to-end workspace for building production-ready AI: Enhancements to Workspaces, including Shared Workspaces (now generally available), Snowflake Notebooks (now generally available), and OpenID Connect (OIDC)-based authentication (now generally available), provide a unified environment where teams can collaboratively build data pipelines, AI apps, and interactive experiences with enterprise-grade security built-in.
