Snowflake is betting that AI's future is not just about analyzing data but taking action on it. This means moving away from chatbots toward autonomous agents that can accomplish real tasks. To keep pace, Snowflake is reorganizing quickly—shipping hundreds of AI features and restructuring teams. On this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan sits down with Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy to discuss the company's transformation and what it reveals about the next direction of AI.
Listen to the full episode to hear:
Why Ramaswamy believes the chatbot era is ending and the agent era is beginning. How Snowflake is evolving from a data warehouse into an AI and applications platform. What "shipping with your data" actually means in practice. Why the company is making major internal changes to support its AI push.
