Transforming data into action

Sema4.ai Team Edition empowers businesses to securely build, deploy, and manage AI agents within their Snowflake environment, transforming enterprise data into actionable intelligence without compromising security or requiring extensive coding.

As organizations race to transform their data into intelligent agents that drive real business value, the winners will be those who can quickly and securely deploy AI agents that work directly with their enterprise data and applications. Today, we’re introducing Sema4.ai Team Edition, an enterprise AI agent platform powered by Snowflake Cortex AI that enables you to build and deploy AI agents directly within your Snowflake environment, ensuring data never leaves your Snowflake account.

Built on our SAFE framework – delivering agents that are Secure, Accurate, Fast, and Extensible – Team Edition enables one-click deployment of AI agents directly from Sema4.ai Studio to Snowflake. Your teams can build, test, and operationalize AI agents quickly without writing code or disrupting existing workflows. This transforms your Snowflake data into intelligent agents that drive immediate business value. Available today in Snowflake Marketplace, Team Edition offers a 30-day trial to help you quickly join the AI agent revolution.

The AI adoption challenge

Enterprise AI adoption often starts with excitement but quickly meets reality. Security teams raise valid concerns about protecting their infrastructure. Data teams point to information scattered across systems. And when business opportunities arise, IT teams face lengthy deployment cycles and complex integrations that slow their response. The result? Organizations struggle to move from promising pilots to production-ready solutions.

The path forward requires a different approach – one that transforms these challenges into advantages. By working within existing enterprise frameworks, security becomes an enabler rather than a barrier. Governance becomes a foundation for scale rather than a limitation. And operational efficiency becomes the catalyst for innovation rather than its constraint.

Enter Sema4.ai Team Edition: The SAFE solution

Team Edition addresses these challenges by enabling one-click deployment of AI agents directly from Sema4.ai Studio into your Snowflake environment. Built with SAFE principles at its core, our platform allows you to build agents that are:

  • Secure: Enterprise agents that operate within your Snowflake security boundary
  • Accurate: Quickly understand and access your data using Cortex AI
  • Fast: Deploy agents in minutes through our Snowflake Marketplace application
  • Extensible: Connect and customize agents to work with your existing applications

Secure by design

Security teams can’t afford to compromise their existing security perimeter just to adopt AI capabilities. Team Edition eliminates this concern by keeping all AI operations within your Snowflake security boundary, using your existing security tools and processes.

Team Edition’s native integration with Snowpark Container Services provides a secure, isolated environment for AI agents while fast-tracking InfoSec approval processes. Our architecture leverages Snowflake’s native security features, ensuring all agent operations occur within your security boundary. Authentication uses your existing Snowflake credentials, with role-based access control mapped directly to Snowflake roles, eliminating additional security configurations while maintaining comprehensive audit trails through native logging.

Accurate and efficient

Scattered data across multiple systems creates blind spots that prevent AI agents from making fully informed decisions. Team Edition gives your AI agents instant, governed access to all your data in real-time, enabling comprehensive insights without moving or duplicating data.

Our zero-copy data access architecture supports comprehensive data integration across multiple sources – from Snowflake and Redshift to PostgreSQL and Excel – while maintaining strict data governance. Team Edition integrates seamlessly with Cortex AI capabilities, leveraging Cortex Analyst’s LLM capabilities for analysis, while Cortex Search combines semantic and keyword-based approaches for comprehensive data discovery. This enables agents to find and analyze relevant information across your entire data ecosystem, improving response times and insight quality.

Fast to build, deploy, and share

Most organizations struggle with AI adoption because building agents requires developer resources, involved and complex deployments, and custom solutions to share agents with business teams. Sema4.ai Studio transforms your business expertise into production-ready AI solutions by letting you define agent behavior in plain English through natural language Runbooks, eliminating the need for complex coding or technical skills.

Team Edition removes traditional deployment barriers by enabling rapid deployment of AI solutions directly to Snowflake through our Marketplace application, reducing months of setup and integration work to a few clicks.

Once deployed, teams can immediately collaborate with their AI agents through Work Room – a purpose-built environment where business users chat with agents, oversee their work, and ensure tasks are completed correctly. Users can also interact with agents through familiar tools like Slack, providing seamless integration into existing workflows and rapid adoption across the organization.

Extensible and adaptable

Enterprises struggle to integrate new AI capabilities with their complex landscape of existing applications and custom systems. Team Edition’s Actions Gallery helps you get started quickly by connecting your agents to common applications like SharePoint, ServiceNow, Salesforce, and Google Workspace. When you need to connect to custom applications, use our SDK to create and maintain your own custom actions using the same development tools your teams use today.

Connect your AI agents to any enterprise application using our Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation. This powerful integration framework handles the complex work of authentication and data exchange, so your agents can securely communicate with your applications. You can now connect directly to MCP servers from companies like Linear and Google today, and you’ll soon be able to create your own MCP servers to connect agents with virtually any application in your enterprise ecosystem.

Why your business needs Sema4.ai Team Edition

The promise of AI often begins with a simple question: “How do we turn our data into actionable intelligence?” While teams start with ambitious goals, traditional approaches force impossible trade-offs between speed and security, innovation and governance, business empowerment and IT control. Team Edition transforms these challenges into advantages by leveraging your existing Snowflake investment to deploy AI agents that deliver immediate value.

With Team Edition, you can:

  • Transform complex business processes into automated, agentic workflows
  • Enable business users to create and deploy AI agents using natural language, without coding
  • Access all of your enterprise data with zero-copy access
  • Maintain complete security and compliance within your Snowflake environment
  • Connect agents to your enterprise applications through our action gallery, SDK, or MCP support
  • Collaborate with AI agents through Work Room or familiar tools like Slack, bringing agents directly to your business users

This isn’t just about implementing AI – it’s about reimagining how work gets done in your enterprise.

Real-world impact

“At Koch Engineered Solutions (KES), a key objective in our IT vision is ‘simplification,'” says Brad Hoefler, Chief Technology Officer at KES. “Part of our modernization & maturity journey as a capability supporting our KES businesses, we are developing a ‘Data First Architecture’ together with our partners at Sema4.ai and Snowflake. This will enable KES to leverage our data where it already lives, eliminating the risk of data egress. The seamless integration of Sema4.ai Team Edition into the Snowflake ecosystem will make it easy and secure to deploy AI agents that execute real work.”
