[ONLINE] DESG April 2026
Details
Hi DESG Community,
This month we will have the entire event online as our speaker will be in US time zone.
For this month, we have Noel who will talk about:
"Snowflake Cortex CLI: Improving development efficiency"
Snowflake's Cortex Code CLI is a terminal-based AI agent built on Claude Code's foundation and hardened for Snowflake. It connects directly to your account, reads your local files, runs SQL, executes bash commands, and understands your dbt project structure.
No copy-pasting schemas into ChatGPT. No context switching.
In this talk, we'll look at what the CLI actually does and how to wire it into a real analytics engineering workflow.
We'll cover MCP integrations, custom skills, and how to use AGENTS.md to give the agent project-specific instructions, the same way you would with Claude Code.
If you've been curious whether Snowflake-native AI is actually useful for day-to-day development work, this talk gives you a straight answer.
Expected agenda:
7.30pm - Start of event & getting ready
7.40pm - 8.20pm - Talk & demo by Noel
8.20pm – 8.45pm - Q&A
8.45pm – End of event
Hope to you all online!
Cheers!
DESG
