Snowflake CoWork + Cortex Code Reach Outside the Warehouse; Databricks Genie One Goes GA — Natural Language Drops Below the BI Layer

TechTarget·medium signal

The data platforms are making natural language the primary analytics interface: Snowflake rebranded Snowflake Intelligence to CoWork and expanded Cortex Code (already used by >50% of customers) to reach AWS Glue, Databricks and Postgres, while Databricks made Genie One GA as a no-technical-knowledge entry point for business users. This pushes 'ask a question' agents below the BI layer into the warehouse itself, threatening both standalone BI tools and the data-analyst workflow.
