Snowflake Cortex Agents is a platform for building autonomous AI agents that integrate with Snowflake's data cloud. It enables natural language querying of structured and unstructured data, orchestrates multiple AI and search services, and supports real-time web search via the Brave Web Search API. Cortex Agents can autonomously plan tasks, select tools, and synthesize insights from multiple data sources within Snowflake's governed environment.

From the Maintainer
I implement Snowflake Cortex Agents for clients.
If you want Snowflake Cortex Agents built into your business or your agency's stack — wired into your existing tools, with a real workflow on top — that's the consulting work. Direct conversation, no junior team, senior execution.
