Snowflake announced the research preview of Project SnowWork on March 18, 2026. The platform is an autonomous enterprise AI system that lets business users issue conversational prompts and have the system complete multi‑step tasks automatically, all within the Snowflake environment without requiring code or data movement.
Project SnowWork is positioned as a proactive AI partner that can execute complex workflows, a key element of Snowflake’s broader AI‑data cloud strategy. The company has already seen strong adoption of its Cortex AI and Snowflake Intelligence products, with over 2,500 accounts using Snowflake Intelligence and more than 4,400 customers adopting Cortex Code. Together, more than 9,100 Snowflake accounts are using some form of AI, underscoring the platform’s relevance to the company’s growth trajectory.
In its Q4 fiscal 2026 results, Snowflake reported product revenue growth of 30 % year‑over‑year to $1.23 billion and a record $9.77 billion in remaining performance obligations, up 42 % from the prior year. The surge in product revenue is largely driven by the expanding AI portfolio, which has become a significant revenue driver for the company and a key factor in the robust RPO growth.
CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy said the company is “entering the era of the agentic enterprise,” adding that Project SnowWork “puts secure, data‑grounded AI agents on every surface so business leaders can move from question to action instantly.” VP Bala Kasiviswanathan noted that the platform “must first work for everyday workflows and be deeply connected to the data and systems that actually run the business,” highlighting the focus on accuracy and governance over generic chatbots.
Analysts remain largely positive on Snowflake’s outlook. Of the 45 analysts covering the company, 36 rate it a Strong Buy and the average price target is $237.26, roughly 40 % below the 52‑week high. The company’s strong Q4 results and the launch of Project SnowWork have reinforced confidence in its AI strategy, even as the broader data‑and‑AI infrastructure market has experienced a sell‑off.
Project SnowWork is currently in a research preview, meaning it is not yet generally available and is being tested with select customers. The platform’s focus on operating within a governed, secure, and unified data environment differentiates it from competitors such as Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce. Snowflake’s partnership with OpenAI, including a $200 million investment, further enhances the platform’s capabilities by allowing customers to leverage OpenAI’s frontier models inside Snowflake’s secure environment. The launch signals Snowflake’s intent to move from a data infrastructure provider to an execution layer for enterprise AI, positioning it for future growth in a competitive market.
