Building and Observing Production-Grade AI Apps with Snowflake Cortex

In this session, I’ll walk through how developers can build, orchestrate, and safely operate AI applications end-to-end on Snowflake using Snowflake Cortex.

Planned coverage:

Snowflake Cortex Code CLI (Snowflake's own Coding Agent)
How to bootstrap AI and data apps quickly from the command line, including generating starter projects, wiring up Snowpark, and integrating Cortex services (LLM functions, Search, Agents) into reproducible, version-controlled workflows.

Snowflake Cortex Agents
How Cortex Agents orchestrate structured data (via Cortex Analyst) and unstructured data (via Cortex Search) to deliver agentic workflows—planning tasks, choosing tools, and composing final answers over governed enterprise data, all running natively in Snowflake.

AI Observability with TruLens and Snowflake
How Snowflake’s AI Observability (powered by TruLens) lets you trace and evaluate generative AI apps: OpenTelemetry-style traces of RAG and agent pipelines, LLM-as-a-judge evaluations (answer relevance, context relevance, groundedness, etc.), and run comparison and monitoring in Snowsight and Snowflake tables.
