Agentic Marketplace Discovery

Agentic Marketplace Discovery lets you find products on the public Snowflake Marketplace by describing what you need to CoCo in natural language. CoCo returns matching listings, helps you compare them, and lets you install listings, start trials, or initiate sales requests without leaving the conversation.

The Marketplace Discover page in Snowsight offers two modes, and you can switch between them at any time:

  • Agentic discovery: Describe your problem or use case, and CoCo finds and compares listings for you.
  • Marketplace search: Search for providers or listings by name or keyword.

Because CoCo is available throughout Snowsight, the conversation you start on the Discover page continues with you as you evaluate, try, and implement the products you find. For more information, see CoCo in Snowsight.

Agentic Marketplace Discovery applies to the public Snowflake Marketplace only. It doesn’t apply to the Internal Marketplace.

Prerequisites

To use CoCo for Marketplace search and listing actions, you need the following:

  • Access to CoCo in Snowsight. Your role must have either the SNOWFLAKE.CORTEX_USER or SNOWFLAKE.CORTEX_AGENT_USER database role. Until BCR-2445 reaches your account, your role must also have SNOWFLAKE.COPILOT_USER. See Access control requirements.
  • A Snowflake account that can access the Snowflake Marketplace. See Use listings as a consumer.

To install a listing or start a trial, your role must also have the privileges required for those consumer actions (for example, CREATE DATABASE and IMPORT SHARE). See Access and install listings as a consumer and Explore listings.

What you can do

From CoCo on the Snowflake Marketplace Discover page, you can do the following for public Snowflake Marketplace listings:

InstallInstall a free or accessible listing into your account from an in-chat Get this listing form.
Start a trialStart a trial for a paid or limited trial listing so you can evaluate the product before you purchase or request full access.
Initiate a sales requestStart a sales request when a listing requires you to contact the provider to purchase or obtain the product (for example, a sales-led offer).

CoCo uses the same consumer agreements and access rules as the Snowflake Marketplace UI. When CoCo presents an install, trial, or sales request form, complete the required acknowledgments and configuration before you continue.

Find listings with Agentic discovery

  1. Sign in to Snowsight.

  3. On the Discover tab, select Agentic discovery.
  4. In the prompt field, describe what you’re working on, or select one of the suggested prompts.
  5. Review the CoCo response. Matching listings appear as cards that can include the listing title, provider, short description, and labels such as Free to try, Paid, Secure share, or Native App.

  • “Find weather data for North America.”
  • “Show me listings related to credit card transactions.”
  • “Find Native Apps that help with Salesforce data.”
  • “Find Marketplace datasets for healthcare and life sciences.”

For more ways to discover listings with CoCo elsewhere in Snowsight, see Example prompts. The marketplace-search and get-marketplace-listing-details skills are also described in marketplace-search.

Install, trial, or request a listing with CoCo

After CoCo surfaces a listing that fits your need, install it, start a trial, or initiate a sales request from the same chat:

  1. On the listing card, select Tell me more.
  2. In the chat, review the listing details CoCo provides, then follow the install, trial, or sales request flow that appears.
  3. When CoCo shows a Get this listing form, complete the required steps:
    • Select the agreement and privacy acknowledgments for the listing.
    • Review or change the suggested Database name if a database will be created from the listing.
    • Select Install listing (or the equivalent action for a trial or sales request).
  4. If install or trial succeeds, open the resulting database or app and continue with your usual consumer workflow. See Access and install listings as a consumer.

Limitations

  • Available only for the public Snowflake Marketplace, not the Internal Marketplace.
  • Available in public preview.
  • Listing actions succeed only when your role has the privileges required for that action and the listing supports the action (for example, a trial must be offered on the listing).
  • Billing, payment setup, and capacity drawdown rules for paid listings still apply. See Pay for Snowflake Marketplace listings.
