Warehouse AI — Independence

Snowflake AI only works on Snowflake. What about your other sources?

Snowflake Cortex locks you into a single warehouse. Myriade deploys a cloud-agnostic semantic AI layer that works on Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and Redshift — simultaneously.

The Snowflake-native AI trap

Snowflake Cortex and Intelligence promise integrated AI. In reality, every AI query consumes additional Snowflake credits, the intelligence built is non-portable, and your multi-source data remains fragmented.

Unpredictable credit costs: every Cortex function (LLM, embeddings, search) consumes additional compute credits with no clear cap.

Single-warehouse AI: Cortex can't query your data in BigQuery, Databricks, or other sources. Your view remains fragmented.

Reinforced vendor lock-in: the more intelligence you build in Cortex, the more costly and complex migration becomes.

Governance limited to Snowflake: business rules and semantic layer don't extend beyond Snowflake.

Why choose Myriade over Snowflake Cortex

Why teams choose Myriade

Truly multi-source AI

Query Snowflake, BigQuery, and your other warehouses simultaneously. One question, all your data — not just what's in Snowflake.

Optimized costs through caching

The intelligent semantic cache avoids re-running the same queries. Save 30-40% on Snowflake credits while adding AI.

Migration freedom

Your semantic layer and governance aren't tied to Snowflake. Migrate or add a warehouse without rebuilding your intelligence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, perfectly. Myriade connects natively to Snowflake. The difference: it also works with your other sources, where Cortex is limited to Snowflake.

AI on all your data, not just Snowflake.
