Snowflake Adds AI Agents That Automatically Build and Manage Data Pipelines

Snowflake announced the acquisition of TensorStax on February 4, 2026, to accelerate agentic AI for data engineering. TensorStax supplies autonomous agents that build, optimize, and maintain data pipelines. The agents integrate with Airflow, dbt, MongoDB, and Snowflake to streamline orchestration and data flow. Snowflake says the technology aims to create a self-driving data platform where agents handle pipeline creation and verification, freeing data teams from routine tasks as AI workloads grow.

Why It Matters

• Data engineers can deploy TensorStax agents to automate pipeline builds and verification, reducing manual effort from days to minutes after integration.
• Platform teams using Airflow, dbt, or MongoDB gain native Snowflake integration for agentic orchestration without rebuilding existing pipelines.
