Snowflake Summit 2026 Platform KeynoteJun 2, 2026 · 1h 38m · Christian KleinermanKleinerman's 2026 platform keynote put Cortex Code at the center of every workflow, from pipelines to governance, and added Snowflake Data Stream for Kafka-compatible streaming, the Snowflake app runtime for full React apps, agent identity and data movement policies for governing agents, Horizon Context, a new interactive query compiler and open data sharing over Iceberg REST.
Key themes: Agents, AI coding, Data platforms
- 1Snowflake Data Stream introduced: Kafka wire-compatible event capture that lands topics as Snowflake tables, private preview soon
- 2Cortex Function Studio entered public preview to build and evaluate custom AI functions
- 3The Snowflake app runtime entered public preview, running Node.js (Python soon) so full React apps run inside Snowflake
- 4Cortex Code ("CoCo") for desktop became generally available, alongside Excel, VS Code and CLI form factors
- 5Governance for agents: agent identity in policies, data movement policies and multi-party approvals for sensitive operations
- 6A new interactive query compiler was introduced for faster interactive workloads
- 7Open sharing lets non-Snowflake consumers read shared data through Iceberg and the Iceberg REST catalog, in public preview

Snowflake Summit 2026 Opening Keynote With Sridhar Ramaswamy And Daniela AmodeiJun 1, 2026 · 1h 1m · Sridhar Ramaswamy, Daniela Amodei, Julie SweetRamaswamy's theme was the "agentic enterprise": agents working continuously across a business, coordinated by what he called an agentic control plane. Snowflake Intelligence for knowledge workers and Cortex Code for builders are Snowflake's answer, with the Natoma acquisition bringing governed MCP connectivity to everyday apps. Anthropic's Daniela Amodei and Accenture's Julie Sweet joined on stage.
Key themes: Agents, Data platforms, Governance
- 1Ramaswamy declared "the era of the agentic enterprise", built on four parts: enterprise data and context, models, applications and a control plane
- 2Snowflake Intelligence is positioned as the personal work agent for knowledge workers, taking actions across the apps they use
- 3Cortex Code ("CoCo") is the AI coding agent for builders to create pipelines, apps and agents in natural language
- 4Snowflake announced its intent to acquire Natoma to bring governed MCP connectivity to apps like Gmail, Slack, Jira and GitHub
- 5Without a control plane, agents in finance, supply chain and marketing act in isolation and contradict each other, he argued
- 6Anthropic President Daniela Amodei joined to discuss the partnership and building for the enterprise
