Keynotes / Tech TalksThe Autonomous Engineer: Architecting Agentic Workflows Inside the Data Cloud
Generic AI coding assistants are great at syntax but fail at context. They don’t know your production schemas, your dbt DAGs, or your FinOps constraints. In this session, we dive into Cortex Code, Snowflake’s native AI agent that operates within your data’s security perimeter. We will demonstrate how Cortex Code moves beyond simple code generation to perform “agentic” tasks: self-healing data pipelines, automated dbt scaffolding, and cross-platform orchestration (CLI to Snowsight). Learn how to turn natural language into production-ready, governed data infrastructure in minutes rather than hours.
