Get introduced to the core generative AI concepts and the Snowflake capabilities that bring them to life. You'll set up your Snowflake environment, work in Snowflake Notebooks, and build a simple AI app that loads unstructured call-transcript data from an S3 bucket, prompts a foundation model to summarize it as JSON, and surfaces the results in a Streamlit UI.

Introduction to GenAI on Snowflake

Dive into Snowflake Cortex's LLM-based functions to accomplish a wide range of AI tasks. You'll implement common use cases like summarization, translation, sentiment analysis, and text classification with task-specific functions, run open-ended prompts through the Cortex COMPLETE function with Llama, Mistral, and Anthropic models, choose the right LLM for the job, and use helper functions to estimate token count and cost before you spend it.
