Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Snowflake
AI agent
A data-native autonomous coding agent, rebranded from Cortex Code, that turns natural-language requests into pipelines, analytics, models, apps and agents from a desktop app, CLI or Snowsight.
An enterprise AI work agent, rebranded from Snowflake Intelligence, letting knowledge workers question enterprise data and act across connected tools such as Slack, Gmail and Salesforce.
Platform
Managed data platform for storing, querying and governing data, with model and agent features running next to it.
Set of model, search and agent features that run inside Snowflake against data already in the account.
Writer
AI agent
An agent that plans and carries out multi-step work across a customer's own data and tools, under enterprise governance controls.
Platform
WRITER's retrieval layer. A specialised LLM reads a customer's own documents, spreadsheets, slides and PDFs and builds a graph of the semantic relationships between them rather than storing vector embeddings, so retrieval can follow multi-hop connections, break a broad question into sub-questions and return specific source citations before WRITER's Palmyra models generate the answer.
No counterpart
Snowflake sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Writer yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
A REST API that orchestrates Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search and custom tools in a single reasoning loop for building enterprise AI agents.
A Cortex API that converts natural-language questions into governed SQL against a semantic model for self-service analytics.
A managed hybrid vector-and-keyword retrieval service for building RAG applications over Snowflake-hosted structured and unstructured data.
A Cortex document-processing service, built on Snowflake's Arctic-TILT model, that extracts structured data from PDFs and other unstructured documents.
Writer sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Snowflake yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Universal context layer that grounds AI agents in a company's Agent Memory (captured decisions and preferences) and Company Standards (brand, tone, compliance), listed in WRITER's own top-level product navigation alongside Models, AI Studio, WRITER Agent and WRITER for Slack.
Reusable, repeatable workflows in WRITER, so a piece of work done once can be run the same way again.
Agent platform
WRITER's build surface: business teams assemble agents on an interoperable platform while technology teams keep visibility and governance over what ships.
