Snowflake Generative AI

AI agents represent a fundamental shift from directed assistants to autonomous systems that can plan, execute, and adapt independently. Organizations need professionals who can build intelligent systems that work across structured databases and unstructured documents like contracts, emails, and conversation transcripts. This hands-on course teaches you to build production-ready AI agents using Snowflake Cortex. You will learn the core differences between AI assistants and autonomous agents, then build your own sales intelligence agent that combines deal metrics with customer conversation analysis. Skills you will gain include configuring semantic views for natural language database queries, building hybrid search services for unstructured text, writing effective orchestration instructions, evaluating agent reliability, and integrating agents with external applications using Model Context Protocol. The course emphasizes learning by doing. You will work with realistic B2B sales data and insurance scenarios, building agents that answer complex business questions by autonomously selecting the right tools and synthesizing insights from multiple data sources. By completion, you will understand how to design agent architectures, implement multi-step workflows, optimize agent responses, and deploy agents through both programmatic APIs and visual interfaces. This course prepares you for roles in AI application development and data engineering with AI capabilities.
