Snowflake Intelligence: The End of Dashboards?

Your dashboards only answer the questions you thought of last quarter: every new question becomes a new ticket... Snowflake Intelligence aims to fix that by allowing you to "talk" directly to your data.

Snowflake Intelligence is a chat interface that sits on your enterprise data and turns plain English into SQL, giving business users answers, charts, and decisions without involving the data team.

In this episode, Jelle demos the full flow live and builds a complete setup from scratch: semantic data model (semantic view), verified queries, Cortex Agent, tool configuration, and access management on a sample dataset. Along the way we also discuss what this actually requires: data quality, role-based access control, and data product thinking. And whether Snowflake is worth the cost.
