Enterprise AI adoption often stalls at the point where strategy meets reality: employees have questions, but the answers are in data they can’t access. While structured data lives in warehouses like Snowflake, and unstructured knowledge is scattered across communication and productivity tools, surfacing relevant insights has remained a manual and siloed process.
A new partnership between Glean and Snowflake aims to reduce that friction. On Tuesday, Glean announced a direct integration with Snowflake Cortex Analyst, allowing business users and AI agents to query structured data stored in Snowflake using natural language or SQL, directly from within the Glean platform.
The integration gives employees a single interface to search across both structured and unstructured data without needing to understand database syntax. Glean’s core product already indexes information across platforms like Gmail, Google Drive, Jira, Slack, and Confluence. With Snowflake Cortex Analyst now embedded, users can extend their queries to include real-time data housed in Snowflake such as financial metrics, operational dashboards, or customer records.
