Frequently asked questions

What is the Snowflake Cortex workshop?

It is a three-hour, hands-on phData workshop on Snowflake Cortex Analyst and the semantic foundation that makes its answers accurate and trustworthy. Attendees see a Cortex Analyst demo, build semantic views in a lab, and map a path to an AI proof-of-value. The session runs in person or virtually.

What is Snowflake Cortex Analyst?

Snowflake Cortex Analyst is a Snowflake feature that lets business users ask questions about their data in natural language and get answers back. Pairing it with a trusted semantic and metadata foundation helps those answers match your business definitions instead of producing generic chat-with-data results.

What is a semantic view in Snowflake?

A semantic view is a Snowflake object that defines business concepts, such as metrics and the relationships between tables, so tools like Cortex Analyst can answer questions using your definitions. Attendees build semantic views hands-on in the workshop lab

How do you make Cortex Analyst answers more accurate?

Add business context. Semantic views and metadata encode your metrics and business logic, which grounds Cortex Analyst’s answers in how your organization defines things. The workshop includes a lab on enriching Cortex with AI context and best practices.

What happens during the three-hour session?

The session includes a Cortex Analyst overview demo, a lab on building semantic views in Snowflake, a lab on enriching Cortex, a business use case spotlight and discussion, and a wrap-up with Q&A. It ends with a clear path to an AI proof-of-value.
