Spearhead is an applied AI consulting and engineering firm focused on production-grade AI systems.
Cortex Search and Cortex Analyst give agents direct access to structured and unstructured data inside the platform, no export to a separate vector store or search index required. Cortex Agents, generally available since November 2025, sits on top: it breaks a complex question into sub-tasks, routes each one to the right model, and returns an answer that traces back to its source.
At Snowflake Summit 2026, Snowflake expanded that agent surface further under the names CoWork and CoCo, and introduced Agent Identity, giving every agent a cryptographic identity and per-agent access rules over the data it's allowed to touch. Spearhead layers its retrieval architecture over all of it, defining how an agent decides what to pull, when to pull it, and how to hand back an answer it can defend. In Spearhead's nine-layer Enterprise AI Reference Architecture, this work sits in the Data layer: the layer that decides whether an agent's answers are grounded in the business's real numbers or in a guess.
Enterprises running on Snowflake typically have the data an agent needs already governed and queryable. What's missing is the retrieval layer that turns a warehouse into something an agent can reason over in real time. Spearhead's clients can plug the agentic production framework straight into Cortex Agents, with Agent Identity enforcing exactly which data each agent can see, so an answer traces back to a specific table, a specific row, a specific query, rather than a plausible-sounding paraphrase.
Haranath Gnana, Advisory Partner at Spearhead, put it this way: "An agent that can talk about your data and an agent that can correctly query your data are two different products. Most vendors are still selling the first one. Cortex Agents gives us the orchestration to do the second, and Agent Identity means we're not guessing which agent should see which table, it's enforced at the platform level."
Bringing Spearhead's delivery model together with Snowflake's platform means enterprises don't have to choose between keeping data governed in the warehouse and making it available to agents in real time. Cortex Search, Cortex Analyst, and Cortex Agents handle the query surface, Agent Identity handles who's allowed to ask, and Spearhead's retrieval architecture handles the judgment of what to retrieve, in what order, and how to present it, so clients get a working answer instead of a research project.
