Meet Coco: Snowflake Native AI Coding Agent for Data

Snowflake’s Context‑Aware AI Agent for Data Teams

Data teams juggle an increasing number of tasks. They write SQL, manage transformations, check pipelines, monitor expenses, and ensure proper governance, making the workload quickly overwhelming. Adding AI to the workflow often means explaining your entire setup before it can help. This constant context switching creates significant inefficiency. The real advancement is not just AI that writes code, but AI that inherently understands your data platform.

Snowflake and KPI Partners make this possible. Solutions like Snowflake Cortex Code build intelligence directly into the platform, enabling teams to build, refine, and operate with context already baked in. Instead of talking to a generic bot, you work with a system and a partner that truly understands your data ecosystem. The experience shifts from simply managing a data warehouse to operating within an intelligent, streamlined data workspace.

What is Coco?

Cortex Code is an AI-powered agent built into Snowflake that helps you with data engineering, analytics, machine learning, and even building other agents. It understands your intent, creates a plan, handles multi-step tasks, and keeps track of context as you work. As part of the Snowflake Cortex AI suite, it works alongside Snowflake Intelligence to deliver smart, AI-driven capabilities across your entire data lifecycle.

 

What Makes Coco Truly Unique?

1. Leverage Deep Platform Awareness: Coco accesses your schemas, permissions, governance rules, and runtime constraints to deliver accurate, context-aware results with fewer hallucinations.

2. Execute End-to-End Agentic Workflows: Coco reads your intent, drafts a plan, runs multi-step tasks, and adapts in real time, transforming a single prompt into a fully automated workflow.

3. Review and Approve Changes: Coco shows a clear visual diff of every modification so you can validate, refine, and safely apply updates.

4. Enforce Enterprise-Grade Security Automatically: With execution modes, risk scoring, sandboxing, and policy checks, Coco ensures every action aligns with your organization’s security standards.

 

How Coco Powers the Entire Data Lifecycle?

1. Accelerate Discovery & Exploration

Coco helps you instantly find the right data assets, from PII-tagged tables to full lineage paths. It surfaces metadata, tags, policies, and dependencies without requiring you to write a single query.

 

2. Build & Automate Data Pipelines Faster

Coco streamlines end-to-end pipeline creation from spinning up dbt projects to designing multi-model DAGs, adding tests, generating docs, and running commands-delivering speed and accuracy throughout the process.


3. Supercharge Analytics & SQL Development

Coco writes, explains, optimizes, and fixes SQL using Snowflake-aware insights. You can highlight any SQL block to quickly edit, format, explain, or troubleshoot performance issues.

4. Generate Complete ML & Data Science Workflows

Coco builds complete notebooks for tasks like churn prediction, including data preparation, visualization, and model training with pandas, scikit-learn, and popular plotting libraries.

 

5. Build & Improve AI Agents

You can create Cortex Agents, optimize existing ones, and benchmark performance using evaluation sets, all with guided orchestration across Analyst, Search, and custom tools.

 

6. Accelerate Application Development

Build rich Streamlit or Vercel-powered apps using natural language "vibe coding" and deploy them securely through Snowpark Container Services.

 

7. Strengthen Operations & Governance

Coco acts as your intelligent admin partner, analyzes credit usage, visualizes cost trends, identifies heavy consumers, audits permissions, and suggests optimizations.

 

KPI Partners’ Approach to Enterprise Data Agents

KPI Partners delivers production-ready GenAI capabilities embedded directly into enterprise workflows, moving organizations beyond experimentation and into real operational impact.

 

1. Conversational Analytics That Drive Action

We empower business users to explore Snowflake data through natural language-no SQL required. Teams uncover trends, ask questions, and generate insights instantly, making analytics faster, more intuitive, and more actionable.

2. AI‑Assisted Engineering That Accelerates Delivery

KPI Partners applies AI to accelerate data engineering with automated code generation, impact analysis, and pipeline optimization. This approach delivers higher productivity, fewer errors, and faster delivery of trusted data products.


3. Intelligent Data Quality Agents That Improve Over Time

Instead of relying on rigid rules, KPI enables adaptive agents that detect anomalies, learn data patterns, and recommend remediation steps. These agents continuously improve data quality and trust.

4. Snowflake‑Native AI Integrated End to End

Using Snowflake Native Apps, Snowpark, and Cortex AI, we build agents that run close to the data. This approach ensures security, scalability, and deep alignment with your enterprise architecture.

 

The Future of Enterprise Intelligence

With Snowflake and KPI Partners, organizations can shift:

  • From dashboards → to decisions
  • From insights → to intelligent action
  • From AI pilots → to AI at scale
