Answer questions from structured data with Cortex Analyst

Most of your organization's knowledge is locked inside tables, PDFs, and documents that only technical users can query. What if anyone could just ask? In this course, you'll build generative AI apps on Snowflake that let people talk to their data in plain language. You'll learn when to reach for RAG, hybrid search, or text-to-SQL, then build working chatbots with Cortex Search for documents and Cortex Analyst for tables, each with a Streamlit front end. By the end, you'll turn raw data into answers the whole business can use.
