Partnership
Unstructured x Snowflake

Snowflake excels at structured data, but 80% of enterprise knowledge remains trapped in unstructured files—out of reach for your data teams and AI efforts.

Unstructured closes this gap by transforming these raw assets into analytics and GenAI-ready formats, ready for use with Snowflake-native tools such as Cortex Agents, Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search, Cortex LLM functions, and Streamlit in Snowflake apps.


Unlock 80% of Your Enterprise Data

Most enterprise knowledge is trapped in unstructured formats, like PDFs, docs, images, and more. Unstructured replaces brittle, manual pipelines with a scalable, Snowflake-native solution, turning unstructured files into fuel for GenAI, search, and analytics.

Bring Unstructured Data into Snowflake

Product-by-Product Integration:

Snowflake ProductWhat Unstructured Adds

Tables

Makes unstructured content more easily queryable with Snowflake SQL.

Cortex Analyst

Rich metadata generation for more robust semantic modeling.

Cortex Search

Support for a wide variety of vector embedding models provided by Snowflake and Unstructured for more accurate and relevant search results.

Cortex LLM functions

Rich metadata generation, vector embedding, chunking, and text enrichments for more robust sentiment analysis, text classification, text summarization and translation, and LLM fine-tuning.

Cortex PARSE_DOCUMENT function

60+ file types; richer JSON schema output along with metadata, vector embedding, chunking, and text enrichments in a single call; enhanced OCR for more accurate image and PDF extraction; and vision language models (VLMs) for higher-quality text and image extraction along with support for handwriting recognition, complex table layouts, and degraded image captures.

Streamlit in Snowflake

Rich metadata generation and text enrichments for more useful and insightful UI-based apps that interact visually with your data.
