Today’s leading enterprises have Snowflake at the center of their data estate. But the full context of their valuable data assets—including where they came from and how they’re being used—is scattered across upstream and downstream systems like databases, BI platforms and orchestration tools. This fragmentation makes it difficult to discover the right data asset and understand the full context around it. Now, in the age of AI, this limited context is a problem not only for humans, but also for agents.
Enter Snowflake Horizon Catalog, which provides unified context and governance for AI over all data. At Snowflake Summit 2025, we shared how we’re extending Horizon Catalog capabilities like search and lineage to data and AI assets that exist in systems outside of Snowflake.
