About this event

🌟 We've found this month's star! Gustaf Cavanaugh🤩
Gustaf is an avid Snowflake and Python user who works at dataiku and has volunteered to not only speak, but provide a hands-on lab:

"AI Agents in Snowflake: What They Are, Why They Matter, and How to Build One (Yes, You!)"

Come learn how Snowflake’s newest AI tools can go from buzzwords to business value: all in under one hour.

😱 OMG, you've heard that AI Agents are going to 100x productivity or replace us all. But here’s the thing -- most folks haven’t actually built one. 🤔

This session is your chance to roll up your sleeves (just a teensy bit 💪), see what’s real vs. hype, and walk away with something useful -- without needing to be a developer.

You'll Learn:

  • What are AI Agents anyway?
    A jargon-free intro to what Agents do, how they work in Snowflake, and why they’re different from just calling an LLM via API.

  • Real-World Use Cases
    We'll share examples of how companies (like yours) are using Agents today -- automating insights, streamlining ops, and boosting decision support -- AND where they've stubbed their toes along the way!!

  • Live Walkthrough: Build Your First Agent
    No buzzwords, just hands-on. We’ll walk through a step-by-step example using Snowflake Cortex -- simple enough to follow, powerful enough to spark ideas for your team. If that's too easy, we'll have a parallel path using Snowflake's new orchestration framework for those ready for the next level.

Who Should Come:

Data leaders, managers, and anyone curious about what’s possible with AI in Snowflake -- no PhD required.

What You Should Bring:

Laptop, wifi connection, and a good attitude!
