Cortex Code Cortex Code
Cortex Code is an AI-driven intelligent agent integrated into the Snowflake platform and available as a standalone CLI, designed to assist with complex data engineering, analytics, and machine learning tasks. It provides context-aware code generation, optimization, and debugging by understanding Snowflake schemas, RBAC policies, and governance rules.
Added a data-discovery subagent, improved managed settings enforcement for administrators, enhanced MCP (Model Context Protocol) support including Snowflake authentication, and expanded CLI capabilities to include dbt and Apache Airflow project support.
As of
- Schema-aware SQL and Python generation
- Agentic orchestration for multi-step tasks
- Local file access and CLI support for dbt and Airflow
- Visual diff review for AI-suggested code changes
- Built-in governance and RBAC compliance
Data engineers and analytics teams working within the Snowflake ecosystem or managing dbt and Apache Airflow workflows who require secure, schema-aware AI assistance.
General-purpose software developers, teams using non-Snowflake data warehouses like BigQuery or Databricks, or users requiring support for languages outside of the data engineering stack (e.g., frontend frameworks).
Snowflake account users are billed based on token consumption via standard Snowflake credit models. Independent developers/teams can access the CLI via a standalone monthly subscription plan ($20/month per user reported) which includes a 30-day free trial.
Cortex Code is the premier AI assistant for data teams deeply invested in the Snowflake ecosystem, offering unmatched schema awareness and governance compliance that outperforms general-purpose coding tools for SQL and data pipeline tasks.
