Learning Objectives
Overview
Meet Sam, a Junior Data Analyst drowning in ad-hoc SQL requests, and Alex, a Senior AI Architect who introduces her to a transformative solution. Through their journey, you'll discover how Snowflake Cortex Analyst eliminates the data analyst bottleneck by enabling business users to ask questions in plain English.
Imagine your sales team asking "Which Enterprise customers in the USA have the highest lifetime value?" and getting instant answers—without writing a single line of SQL. This isn't just another BI dashboard with pre-built reports. It's an intelligent system that understands business language, generates accurate SQL, and democratizes data access across your organization.
You'll learn how semantic views bridge the gap between business terminology and database structures, enabling AI to understand questions like "What's our CLV by segment?" just as naturally as "Show me total customer lifetime value grouped by customer tier."
Most importantly, you'll see how to build production-ready semantic models that empower business users while maintaining enterprise-grade security and governance.
