Democratizing your data access with AI agents

Update: 2025-09-23

Description

Jeff Hollan, director of product at Snowflake, joins Ryan to discuss the role that data plays in making AI and AI agents better. Along the way, they discuss how a database leads to an AI platform, Snowflake’s new data marketplace, and the role data will play in AI agents.

Episode notes:

Snowflake provides a fully-managed data platform that developers can build AI apps on.

We’re happy to have Stack Exchange data available on the Snowflake Marketplace.

Congrats to Timeless for throwing a Lifejacket to Using pandas to read HTML.
