The company made a handful of announcements, which, when taken together, signal the companyâs ambition to become the foundational platform for the emerging agentic enterprise. Specifically, Snowflake is positioning itself as more than a data platform, arguing that successful enterprise AI requires three interconnected layers: trusted and governed data, intelligent agents that can build and automate applications, and AI assistants that help employees work more effectively. With that said, key Snowflake announcements from the summit include: The introduction of major new capabilities for Snowflake CoCo (formerly known as Cortex Code), which is a coding agent that makes it easier for builders to automate workflows, develop apps, and operationalize AI on enterprise data through a simple prompt. New capabilities expand its use across desktop, mobile, and Slack interfaces. In addition, builders can now let CoCo run tasks autonomously, assist with end-to-end app development and deployment, and help teams deliver production-ready results faster and more securely. The introduced Snowflake Datastream, a new fully managed streaming service for Apache Kafka that brings real-time data and AI together in a single, governed platform, giving organizations an easier way to power AI apps and agents with fresh, continuously flowing data. The renaming of Snowflake Intelligence, the companyâs personal agent for knowledge workers. Playing off the CoCo name, Snowflake Intelligence is now called Snowflake CoWork. Enhancements announced at the summit are designed to make it easier for knowledge workers to leverage AI capabilities to gain insights
