1. Agentic Document Extraction (ADE) on Snowflake Marketplace
Agentic Document Extraction (ADE) is now available as a Snowflake Native App. This API-driven solution is designed for developers who need to parse complex documents at scale.
Key Technical Features:
- No-template setup: Layout-aware, context-driven extraction without predefined templates.
- Visual element capture: Extracts charts, tables, checkboxes, and form fields—not just plain text.
- In-place processing: Runs directly within your Snowflake account, eliminating data movement.
- Integration: Works with Cortex Search, Cortex Agent, and Notebooks.
- RAG pipelines: Enables Retrieval-Augmented Generation workflows and vector search with traceable outputs.
Use Cases:
ADE is particularly well-suited for workflows requiring high transparency and auditability, such as KYC, loan processing, and medical records management.
