January 15, 2025 — Custom instructions in Cortex Analyst — Preview¶

Snowflake is pleased to announce the preview of custom instructions in Cortex Analyst.

Custom instructions let you have greater control over SQL generation. Using natural language, you can tell Cortex Analyst exactly how to generate SQL queries from within your semantic model YAML file. For example, use custom instructions to tell Cortex Analyst what you mean by performance or financial year. In this way, you can improve the accuracy of the generated SQL by incorporating custom logic or additional elements.
