Select Star Joins Snowflake: A New Chapter for AI + Data Discovery

Snowflake's acquisition of the Select Star platform represents a major step toward enhancing intelligent metadata context for agentic AI experiences and expanding the capabilities of Snowflake Horizon Catalog. Select Star has focused on making data easier to find, understand, and use by capturing comprehensive metadata, including data lineage, usage, and relationships, which has become crucial for modern data teams and AI integration. The acquisition will integrate Select Star’s data lineage and discovery features into Snowflake, enriching agentic AI tools like Snowflake Intelligence and Cortex Code to better understand and analyze enterprise data. The collaboration aims to create a consistent view of data lineage and usage across platforms, enabling teams to focus on business questions rather than data management, thereby supporting efficient and confident business initiatives. This partnership promises to scale the impact of Select Star's metadata-driven insights, reinforcing the importance of metadata as a foundational component in the evolving landscape of data intelligence and AI.
