Why use Cortex Analyst?
Historically, business users have primarily relied on BI dashboards and reports to answer their data questions. However, these resources often lack the flexibility needed, leaving users dependent on overburdened data analysts for updates or answers, which can take days. Cortex Analyst disrupts this cycle by providing a natural language interface with high text-to-SQL accuracy. With Cortex Analyst organizations can streamline the development of intuitive, conversational applications that can enable business users to ask questions using natural language and receive more accurate answers in near real time.
This VHOL will focus on getting started with Cortex Analyst, teaching the mechanics of how to interact with the Cortex Analyst service and how to define the Semantic Model definitions that enhance the precision of results from this conversational interface over your Snowflake data.
What you will learn:
- How to construct and configure a Semantic Model for your data
- How to call the Cortex Analyst REST API to use your Semantic Model to enable natural-language question-asking on top of your structured data in Snowflake via Streamlit in Snowflake (SiS) application
- How to integrate Cortex Analyst with Cortex Search to enhance SQL queries generated
- How to enable Join support for Star Schemas
- How to enable multi-turn conversations
Next Steps
1 – First step is to submit your registration for the 1/29 VHOL
2 – Attend an Office Hour to ensure your environment is set-up prior to the 1/29 VHOL
3 – Detailed instructions for VHOL environment setup will be provided to registered individuals
