On November 3, 2026, Snowflake Inc. announced a series of artificial intelligence capabilities at its Expedition 2026 conference. According to Analytics India Magazine, Snowflake released Business Ontology and Cortex AI Gateway: the former provides AI agents with approved business term definitions and links them to enterprise data, while the latter serves as a unified control layer that manages agent, model, and tool calls, enforces access policies, authentication, and permissions, and provides fine-grained authorization, prompt injection and jailbreak protection, cost governance, and dynamic model routing, while also logging agent activity to monitor usage and spending. CoCo and CoWork add automation capabilities and background Bots that can inherit user permissions and request approval when sign-off is needed, and will also integrate with Slack, Excel, and Google Sheets. SiliconANGLE reported that Business Ontology is currently in private preview, Cortex AI Gateway adds agent abuse detection, observability and tracing, Cortex sandbox, AI cost governance, and dynamic model routing, and Cortex Training has entered public preview, enabling customers to post-train open-weight models with proprietary data without managing underlying GPU infrastructure.
