Demo shows Snowflake running Cortex AI functions (complete, search, classify, summarize) over ingested CSVs to build a semantic YAML model, load data into tables, and expose answers plus the generated SQL. Claim: semantic model takes ~15 minutes, app integration under 20 minutes; proof: a Streamlit UI and an agent query run end-to-end against Snowflake (no data movement), verified-query logging and RBAC applied. Results return aggregates, SQL, and monitored query history.
