Snowflake announced on Wednesday that it has agreed to acquire Neeva, a search startup founded by former Google executives, for an undisclosed amount.
The deal, announced during Snowflake’s quarterly earnings report, is expected to enhance Snowflake’s ability to offer intelligent and conversational search experiences to its customers who use its platform to store, analyze and share data.
“Engaging with data through natural language is becoming popular with advancements in AI,” Snowflake chairman and CEO Frank Slootman said during a company earnings call.
“This will enable Snowflake users and application developers to build rich search-enabled and conversational experiences,” he added, “and we believe Neeva will increase our opportunity to allow non-technical users to extract value from their data, more broadly.”
