Announcement

Snowflake to Acquire Natoma

We’re excited to bring Natoma’s enterprise MCP platform for AI agents to Snowflake. Together, we’ll make it easier for customers to securely connect AI to the tools they use every day, including Slack, Jira, email, calendars, workflows and more, directly from Snowflake CoWork and Cortex Code.

Interactive Tables &Interactive Warehouses

What It Is

Where It Fits at Block

How to Start

Purpose-built for low-latency, high-concurrency analytics

Interactive Tables are a table type optimized for fast reads at scale. Interactive Warehouses are compute designed to return results in under a second for application-serving workloads. Together they handle real-time dashboards, data-powered APIs, and agentic workloads that send sudden spikes of queries, all on the same governed platform as your batch and streaming data.

“With Snowflake Interactive Tables and Warehouses, we were able to scale high-concurrency workloads more efficiently, achieving a 60% reduction in query latency and a 45% reduction in costs."

Seller-facing AI and internal analytics on one serving layer

  • ManagerBot: fast, merchant-level answers for Square sellers, clustered by merchant for consistent response times.
  • Unified serving: internal and external analytics served from the same governed data instead of separate stacks.
  • Agent traffic: handles bursts of queries from AI agents at a low cost per query.

Selective lookups, like a single merchant's orders or a seller's weekly sales, are exactly the query shape Interactive Tables are designed for.

Get from pilot to production

  1. Pick one high-concurrency workload with repeatable query shapes.
  2. Create an Interactive Table and attach it to an Interactive Warehouse, or use zero-copy interactive analytics on existing tables.
  3. Benchmark latency and cost with your Snowflake team, then scale to more workloads.

AI Agents That Work Across

Block, Securely and at Scale

  • Native MCP integration connects Block's open-source Berd agent to governed Snowflake data, so every team can ask questions in the tools they already use.
  • Cortex Code gives engineers and analysts at Square, Cash App, and Afterpay an AI coding agent with full context on Block's data.
  • Managed MCP servers plug Snowflake into Block's agent harnesses, so security analysts and data teams can run workflows without writing SQL.
  • Cortex Analyst and Snowflake CoWork let marketing and finance teams talk to their data in plain language, on the same trusted semantic definitions.
