Solution

Skai uses Snowflake, Cortex AI, and Snowpark on Snowflake to categorize large volumes of ecommerce products accurately across retailer taxonomies without waiting on scarce data-science capacity or month-long delivery cycles. Product, category, and marketplace data are centralized in Snowflake so marketing and client-delivery teams can work from a faster, more reliable operating view. Cortex AI adds in-platform LLM and agentic capabilities for classification, summarization, retrieval, or natural-language analytics on top of the curated data foundation. Keeping ingestion, storage, transformation, and governed access on one platform reduces handoffs, simplifies operations, and makes it easier to reuse trusted data across analytics, reporting, and AI. Skai achieved 2 Days to deploy to production instead of a month and 100k Products categorized in just 30 days.

Data flow

product, category, and marketplace data flow into Snowflake, Cortex AI, and Snowpark; curated data, reports, and model outputs are then served to marketing and client-delivery teams.

Solution architecture

3 components · 2 layers
  1. Compute
    • Cortex AI Provides in-platform AI functions used for summarization, classification, generation, or model-assisted analysis.
    • Snowpark Runs transformations, analytics, and application logic directly where Snowflake data already lives.
  2. Storage
    • Snowflake Provides the centralized data platform that stores governed datasets and serves analytics or AI workloads.

Architecture clues

  • Cortex AI adds in-platform LLM and agentic capabilities for classification, summarization, retrieval, or natural-language analytics on top of the curated data foundation.
  • Integrates with AWS as part of the broader delivery workflow.
  • Operates at the scale described by metrics such as 2 Days to deploy to production instead of a month.
  • Snowpark keeps transformation and application logic close to the governed data instead of forcing the team to move workloads into separate compute environments.
