Snowflake + AI Agents: Real Use Cases and New Capabilities
### Real AI in production. Real engineers. Real stories.
The [Snowflake](https://www.linkedin.com/company/snowflake-computing/) TLV community is hosting a meetup at [WSC Sports](https://www.linkedin.com/company/wsc-sports-technologies/) \- and we're going deep on what it actually takes to ship AI that works\.
Whether you're you do data pipelines, model deployment, or the gap between PoC and production - this is for you.
๐ Limited seats. First-come, first-served.
### **๐ Who Should Attend**
This event is for anyone who loves to build, create, and innovate with data. Whether youโre a seasoned AI specialist, a data professional looking to streamline your workflows, or a developer just starting your journey on the Data Cloud, this is your opportunity to gain new skills, share ideas, and connect with a dynamic community.
### **๐งโ๐ป Ready to build?**

# Agenda
## 18:00 โ 18:30 \| Gathering & Networking
## 18:30 โ 18:55
### LLM and Data Architecture for Decision Making
#### **Amit Pollak, BI Team Leader, WSC Sports**
What does it take to run AI agents in production at scale?
In this session, weโll walk through how the BI team at WSC Sports built an operational platform for Snowflake Cortex Agents- enabling anyone in the organization to ask natural-language questions against governed data models and get instant, accurate answers without writing a single line of SQL.
Our guiding concept: โFrom YAML to Agentโ โ a user defines a semantic model in a simple YAML file, submits a PR, and the platform takes it all the way to a live, governed, monitored agent running in Snowflake.
A practical look at what production-grade AI on top of a data platform actually looks like.
## 18:55 โ 19:15
### From Launch to Trust: Building and Maintaining Reliable Data Agents
**Haim Moscovici, Data Analytics Tech Lead, WSC Sports**
Building a data agent is one thing. Getting users to trust it enough to actually use it? Thatโs the real challenge.
The 80/20 rule doesnโt work for agents answering business questions โ you need to aim for excellence.
In this session, weโll explore the reliability standard that actually matters, and how to achieve it through a phased rollout approach focused on validation, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
## 19:15 โ 19:30 \| Break & Networking
## 19:30 โ 20:10
### When CoCo Meets Claude: Next-Gen AI for Your Snowflake Data
**Matan Sarig, Senior Solution Engineer, Snowflake**
What happens when you combine Snowflakeโs native Cortex Code (CoCo) with the deep reasoning of Anthropic Claude? You get data agents that actually know what theyโre doing.
Weโll look at the best ways to run CoCo โ whether you're in Snowsight, the CLI, your Desktop IDE, or using a direct Claude integration. Weโll check out the latest Agent Skills to see how easy it is to give your assistant custom superpowers, and demo real-world tasks where the Claude + CoCo combo brings significantly more value than standard AI tools.

**๐ค Featured Sessions**
**A Match Made in Heaven: LLM Judgment at Vector-Search Speed**
**Speaker: Shon Mendelson, Staff AI Scientist @ Intuit**
Last year, I spent far too long chasing a stubborn data quirk: why our system couldn't see that โThe Law Offices of John Millerโ and โMiller, John S. PLLCโ were the same entity. It led to a bigger question: can you achieve LLM-level judgment at vector-search speeds? Traditional vector search is fast, but often misses subtle context like this, while relying entirely on LLMs is too slow and costly for production at scale.
In this talk, Iโll share how we bridged that gap at Intuit with a hybrid system that combines fast vector search, efficient small transformer-based models, and fine-tuned SLMs. The result is a system capable of handling millions of weekly entity comparisons, significantly boosting recall while maintaining precision levels comparable to traditional methods.
**Dr. Data: How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the AI Bomb**
**Speaker: Dr. Adi Sarid, CEO @ Sarid Research**
When GenAI dropped, our quant market research agency had a beautifully naive thought: "We can finally replace all our human labelers with a simple API call!" Spoiler alert: Scaling AI without hallucinations isn't quite that simple.
Join us for a brutally honest, technical look at our data science team's journey from prompt-panic to AI-powered productivity. Weโll share our biggest wins and hardest lessons regarding evaluation frameworks, the rapid obsolescence of custom packages, and the newfound "full-stack audacity" of modern data scientists.
**Cost-Efficient AI Systems in Practice**
**Speaker: Michael Levinger, Senior AI Engineer @ Melio**
Deploying large language models and AI agents in real-world systems requires a constant trade-off between cost, latency, and performance. This talk explores how to optimize LLM- and agent-based systems using techniques such as caching, model routing/cascades, tuning, RAG, and distillationโsignificantly reducing costs without sacrificing quality. Through a case study of an ATO-agent system, weโll also cover practical approaches to cost estimation, monitoring, and budgeting.
In addition, weโll compare leading industry modelsโsuch as Gemini, Claude, and GPTโfocusing on differences in response speed, cost efficiency, and real-world performance, and how to choose the right model for each use case within broader agentic workflows.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## ๐ค Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
๐ก About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations โ not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption โ no guesswork required.
๐ ๏ธ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
๐ Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signalsโฆ all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isnโt more data. Itโs often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)โs CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behaviorโmoving people, and moving metrics. Youโll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
