Snowflake announces always-on CoCo and CoWork Bots that work in the background, coming soon to private preview
Snowflake announced on November 3, 2026, new always-on bots for CoCo, its coding agent for data teams, and CoWork, its personal work agent for knowledge workers. The bots are designed to plan and complete work in the background rather than wait for individual prompts. They are coming soon to private preview.
Snowflake announced on November 3, 2026, new always-on bots for CoCo, its coding agent for data teams, and CoWork, its personal work agent for knowledge workers. According to the report from Unite.AI, the bots are designed to plan and complete work in the background rather than wait for individual prompts.
The CoCo and CoWork Bots are coming soon to private preview.
How the bots work
A user sets a high-level goal, and the bot works toward it without further prompting. Examples given are preparing briefings for every customer meeting and keeping data pipelines healthy. The bot inherits that user's access rights.
Two agents, two audiences
- CoCo is Snowflake's coding agent for data teams.
- CoWork is Snowflake's personal work agent for knowledge workers.
The announcement covers the bot versions of both agents. No new model, context window, benchmark scores or pricing are part of the announcement as reported.
What this means
The change is in how work is triggered. CoCo and CoWork have so far responded to individual prompts, and the new bots instead take a standing goal and carry it out in the background. Because each bot inherits the access rights of the user who set the goal, its reach on Snowflake data matches that user's permissions. Access is limited to private preview for now, and the bots are not yet generally available.
