Snowflake unveiled a suite of new AI‑focused tools at its 2026 summit aimed at enabling enterprises to move from experimentation to fully governed, agentic AI systems. The updates expand its AI coding assistant (CoCo) to platforms such as Slack, VS Code, Claude Code, mobile devices and Excel, and introduce Snowflake Datastream for real‑time Kafka‑based data pipelines. Enhancements to Snowflake CoWork provide context‑aware research, personalisation, and AI‑driven workflows for knowledge workers, while Cortex Training offers managed infrastructure for fine‑tuning foundation models. Governance gains new features through Horizon Catalog—including Horizon Context, Agent Identity, and an upgraded Trust Center—plus Adaptive Compute that auto‑scales resources for AI workloads. Interoperability is boosted with Apache Iceberg v3 support, Snowflake Storage for Iceberg tables, external engine access management, and the Iceberg REST Scan Plan API, delivering a single governed data layer across clouds. Finally, Automatic Data Agents and Agent Sharing let users transform shared datasets into conversational AI agents while maintaining strict governance controls.
