On November 3, 2026, Snowflake announced always-on background bots for CoCo, the coding agent for data teams, and CoWork, the personal work agent for knowledge workers. After users set high-level goals, the bots execute in the background within inherited permissions, prompting users only for key decisions or final approval. The two bots are about to enter private preview; CoCo Automations is now generally available, supporting scheduled recurring workflows while retaining audit records and task history, and the Async Agent API is also generally available. Snowflake said that in the quarter ended July 31, 2026, over the roughly four weeks measured, an average of more than 5,800 accounts used CoWork and more than 9,100 accounts used CoCo, with Cisco, Docusign, and United Rentals among the users.

Snowflake Launches Always-On Background Agents for CoCo and CoWork
On November 3, 2026, Snowflake announced always-on background bots for CoCo, the coding agent for data teams, and CoWork, the personal work agent for knowledge workers. After users set high-level goals, the bots execute in the background within inherited permission scopes, prompting only at key decisions or final approval. Both bots are entering private preview soon; CoCo Automations is now generally available, supporting scheduled recurring workflows while retaining audit records and task history, and the Async Agent API is also generally available. Snowflake said that in the quarter ending July 31, 2026, over the four-week average more than 5,800 accounts used CoWork and more than 9,100 accounts used CoCo, with Cisco, Docusign, and United Rentals among the users.
