What is Snowflake CoCo?
Snowflake CoCo is a powerful suite of native AI capabilities built directly into the Snowflake Data Cloud. Users can build, run, and operationalize AI and LLM-driven experiences directly on governed data.
CoCo simplifies architecture, reduces data movement, and accelerates time-to-value, all while maintaining enterprise-grade security and governance.
Benefits include:
- Governed AI at the Source: Keep data secure and compliant by eliminating the need for external pipelines.
- Accelerated Value: Use familiar tools like SQL and APIs to integrate AI into analytics and applications; no custom infrastructure is needed.
- Modern User Experiences: Enable natural-language analytics, intelligent search, and agentic workflows—all in one platform.
Everforth Apex is a Snowflake CoCo Preferred Partner Badge recipient. This recognition reflects our cumulative expertise in leveraging CoCo to streamline engineering, machine learning, and application development workflows.
Key Components
- CoCo Analyst: Natural-language interface that translates questions into SQL, runs queries on governed data, and returns answers or visualizations via API.
- CoCo Search: Hybrid search engine for fast, semantic retrieval across enterprise documents, which is ideal for RAG and intelligent search experiences.
