Snowflake Acquires TensorStax to Advance Agentic AI Capabilities

Snowflake has acquired startup TensorStax as part of its push to expand agentic artificial intelligence capabilities within its data cloud platform. The move is aimed at helping enterprises build and deploy AI agents that can autonomously perform complex workflows across data systems.

Earlier this week, Snowflake announced a multi-year, $200 million partnership with OpenAI to bring advanced artificial intelligence directly to enterprise data environments.

TensorStax specialises in tools that allow developers to orchestrate AI agents capable of reasoning across structured and unstructured data, automate tasks, and integrate with enterprise applications.

By bringing the company’s technology and team into Snowflake, the data cloud provider plans to simplify how businesses design, deploy, and manage AI-driven applications on its platform.

Snowflake said the acquisition will strengthen its broader strategy to make its platform a central hub for enterprise AI, enabling customers to create “agentic” systems that can act on data rather than just analyse it. The integration is expected to improve developer productivity and reduce the time required to build production-ready AI solutions.

"With this acquisition, we’re creating a unified environment where agentic AI can handle the heavy lifting of ingestion and transformation by treating pipeline code as a priority inside the Snowflake AI Data Cloud — freeing data engineers to shift their focus from writing individual functions to orchestrating intelligent ecosystems," Vivek Raghunathan, Senior Vice President of Engineering and Support, said.

The company also highlighted growing demand from enterprises seeking AI tools that can automate workflows, improve decision-making, and operate securely within existing data environments. With TensorStax’s capabilities, Snowflake aims to provide more native support for orchestrating AI agents directly within its ecosystem.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Snowflake said the deal underscores its continued investment in AI infrastructure and developer-focused tools as organisations accelerate adoption of intelligent automation across industries.

Recently, Snowflake also completed the acquisition Observe, an AI-powered observability platform built natively on Snowflake, as the data cloud company moves to strengthen reliability and operations for AI-driven enterprises.
