AI Apps with Sigma: The Real Estate Calculator
Data teams have never had more to work with. Cloud warehouses handle scale that used to require infrastructure teams. AI models are accessible with a single API call. MCP servers, pre-built connectors and low-code platforms mean that stitching capabilities together has never been faster. The challenge is no longer access: It is knowing which tool […]
Nobody Likes Timesheets. We Built an AI Tool That Fills Them For You.
We replaced a seven-field form with a single sentence. Consultants type what they worked on — or import their Outlook calendar — and an AI assistant creates the time entry. The MVP was built in about 80 hours of development time using Claude Code, runs on Google Gemini, and is now used daily by 46 […]
Addicted to Arrays in Sigma
At the end of a long day, I was on zoom with my friend and coworker Austin. We were debating approaches to a feature where users could input scheduling for a forecasting app. Austin: But each time they start to input a row, that’s going to cost them credits… Me: Oh, I have an idea! Austin: You’re […]
Just Book Some Time Off: Building a Decision-Making Assistant with Snowflake Cortex Agents
Last post, I built a chatbot that could answer any question about the InterWorks employee handbook. It worked well. Ask about parental leave in Germany, get the actual policy, cited, instantly. But a few weeks in, I noticed something: most of the questions people actually want answered aren’t really about the policy. They’re about them. […]
InterWorks Blog Roundup — August 2026
Another month, come and gone. Jeez, and what a month it was. In my personal life, I absolutely will not miss August 2026. Sayonara, arrivederci, adios to that accursed month. The “-ber” months are here, and I for one am grateful. In my professional life, however, August really wasn’t that bad of a month. We’ve […]
From Chaos to Confidence: How Do You Know If Your Data Transformation Is Working?
In Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of this series, I made the case that data transformation is a leadership challenge first and a technology challenge second, and that the organizations that get it right are the ones that invest as much in the people side of the journey as the platform side. We […]
How to Talk So Claude Will Listen: A Beginner’s Guide to AI Prompting
If you’ve ever typed something into Claude and gotten back a response that was technically “correct” but not at all what you meant, welcome to the club. It’s one of the most common questions I get from folks who are new to using AI in their work. After spending time working with Claude, I’ve learned […]
How I Went from Data Scientist to Software Developer
I describe my previous job as “wildly unfulfilling.” My work didn’t feel like it was appreciated or mattered much. With hopes of finding something better, I brushed back up on my web development skills that I learned back in high school. Along the way, I did some online classes on data, and this led me […]
Why Most Snowflake Customers Aren’t Ready for AI Agents (and How to Fix It)
An AI agent connected to Snowflake will answer almost any question put to it. Whether that answer is grounded in something real, or in whatever data the agent could reach with the least friction, is a separate question, and for most organizations today it hasn’t been asked. Some call this a context layer problem, others […]
Snowflake CoWork: What Is It and How Can I Use It?
Snowflake CoWork is the current name for what was, until June 2026, called Snowflake Intelligence. The rebrand wasn’t just a new label: The product expanded at the same time, from a chat window for asking questions about your data into a personal work agent. More importantly, its intended audience expanded right along with it: CoWork […]
