Course Description
Discover how Snowflake CoCo, Snowflake's AI coding agent, can transform the way you explore data, write queries, and build your data infrastructure. You'll compare CoCo with general-purpose coding assistants, tour it in Snowsight, and learn how its usage is billed and controlled. Then you'll explore data with natural language and @ mentions, explain and modify code with the Explain button and Diff view, fix and optimize queries, and build a data pipeline and a Streamlit app in hands-on labs in your own Snowflake trial account.
