Snowflake Cortex AI

If your data is in Snowflake, you're closer to production AI than you think. EdgeRed implements Snowflake Cortex AI — semantic models, Cortex Analyst, and natural language querying that actually works at enterprise scale.

What we deliver

EdgeRed is a certified Snowflake AI Data Cloud Partner in Australia. We specialise in Snowflake Cortex AI implementation — building the semantic models and agent architectures that give your team the right answer, in plain English, without writing SQL.

Semantic data modelling

A governed semantic layer built on Snowflake — encoding all business rules, metric definitions and data relationships into a single trusted model. One version of the truth, across every question your business asks.

Cortex Analyst deployment

Conversational analytics deployed over your Snowflake environment — so business users get accurate, governed answers without writing SQL or waiting on a data analyst. Fewer ad hoc requests. Faster decisions.

Cortex Search

Unstructured data search, natively in Snowflake. Cortex Search lets your team query documents, logs and free-text content the same way they query structured data — no separate search infrastructure, no data movement. 

Agentic analytics architecture

Multi-agent frameworks with intelligent routing, refusal logic and provenance surfacing — covering the full range of business questions from executive KPIs to granular operational queries.

Prompt engineering & guardrails

Prompt rules that ground the agent in your business context — so questions get interpreted the way your team intended, even when they’re ambiguous or inconsistently worded.

Report rationalisation

We assess which legacy reports your Cortex agent can replace, then decommission them. Less maintenance overhead, fewer stale dashboards, a cleaner reporting landscape.

Evaluation & quality frameworks

Evaluation suites that track SQL accuracy, answer relevance and cost over time. You get a measurable baseline — and a way to prove the system is improving.

Why Snowflake Cortex AI

Your data stays where it is

Cortex AI runs natively inside Snowflake — no data movement, no new infrastructure, no separate AI environment to manage. That means no new security reviews, no pipeline complexity, and no convincing your CISO to approve another vendor. If you’re already on Snowflake, the hard part is mostly done.

SQL and Python, not a new stack

Cortex AI is built on the languages your data team already knows. No MLOps overhead, no separate model serving layer — just AI capabilities running directly on your existing Snowflake environment.

Governed answers, not hallucinated ones

Cortex Analyst combines LLM reasoning with your semantic layer — so answers are grounded in your business logic, not raw data. That’s what makes natural language querying actually trustworthy at enterprise scale.

The agentic analytics wave is here

Snowflake Intelligence and Cortex Analyst are moving fast. Organisations that build governed semantic layers now will be positioned to deploy conversational AI across their entire data estate — without starting from scratch.

FAQ

How long does a Snowflake Cortex AI implementation take?

It depends on the state of your data and how mature your semantic layer is. A focused Cortex Analyst deployment can be production-ready in 6–10 weeks. More complex agentic architectures take longer — we scope it properly before we start.

No. Cortex AI runs natively inside Snowflake — your data stays where it is. No new infrastructure, no data movement, no additional security approvals.

Cortex AI doesn’t replace your existing BI layer overnight — but it does let business users get answers to questions your dashboards don’t cover, without logging a request with the data team. We also help rationalise legacy reports that the agent makes redundant.
