[San Francisco, United States = DigitalToday reporter Chi-gyu Hwang (황치규)] Snowflake on June 1 (local time) held its annual Snowflake Summit 2026 conference and unveiled a large number of new products aimed at the AI agent market, while also revamping its branding strategy.

The most noticeable change was a brand overhaul. Snowflake Intelligence was renamed CoWork, a personal work agent for knowledge workers. Cortex Code, a coding agent offered to developers, was renamed CoCo.

Snowflake highlighted the two products as key pillars supporting the agentic control plane, a keyword it emphasised at the event.

The Agentic Control Plane is a layer that centrally orchestrates AI agents so they can connect enterprise data, AI models and external applications to carry out actual work. It appears similar to the agentic OS often discussed recently in enterprise software.

Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy, in a previous interview with Fortune, said, "The control plane will be a new browser, a space where users do not stop at querying data but orchestrate work across multiple applications."

Snowflake also unveiled multiple new products to help companies implement the agentic control plane more easily. Datastream, which processes real-time streaming and analytics on a single platform, integrates with the existing Kafka ecosystem without code changes.

Through this, Snowflake aims to help customers lower total cost of ownership without adopting a separate streaming system.

Horizon Context collects data from external systems including PostgreSQL, Tableau, Power BI and dbt so AI can understand a company's context in a more multi-dimensional way.

Cortex Sense enables the automatic construction of business context across thousands of data assets. Snowflake said accuracy improved 3.5 times compared with connecting Claude Code and the Model Context Protocol to Cortex Sense.

Integration with products from external companies was also strengthened. Snowflake added new MCP connectors linking with Salesforce, Atlassian, GitHub, Google and Slack, among others. For developers, it also unveiled CoCo Desktop, a native Windows and MacOS desktop IDE, and an extension for VS Code.

Snowflake also highlighted improvements to its platform performance at the event.

The company said Adaptive Compute delivered 1.6 times faster analytics, 2.2 times higher hourly query throughput and 3.5 times faster DML operations.

The company said Snowflake's customer count surpassed 13,900 as of April 2026. CoWork accounts doubled from the previous quarter, while CoCo accounts totalled 7,100 and weekly active accounts for AI solutions reached 13,600.
