Course Description
Autonomous AI agents are moving beyond chatbots to take real action on enterprise data. In this course, you'll build production-ready Cortex Agents in Snowflake that answer natural-language questions across structured databases and unstructured documents, then learn to evaluate, optimize, and deploy them using orchestration instructions, observability, and the Model Context Protocol.
