Use Snowflake Intelligence and Cortex to manage experiments. Winning Variant ships with a “Winning Variant Experiment Assistant” Cortex agent (in the ai schema) that allows you to create and manage experiments via Snowflake Intelligence. Simply describe what you would like to do to have the assets created or updated for you.

Creating Experiments

Describe the experiment you would like to create. Include as many details as possible. The agent will prompt you for more information if needed. Experiment properties include:
  • Name
  • Subject Type
  • Description (optional)
  • Hypothesis (optional)
  • Lab (optional)
  • Variants in the experiment, with names, descriptions, and which is control
  • Initial cohort: the split for each variant
Create Experiment

Listing / Detailing Experiments

List experiments of a particular status or get details for an experiment. Sample prompts include:
  • List all active experiments
  • List experiments with a winner declared
  • Give me the details of XYZ experiment
  • Show the current cohort for XYZ experiment
List Experiment

Adding Variants & Cohorts

Variants and cohorts may be added over the life of an experiment. Sample prompts:
  • Add a new variant “Treatment B” to experiment XYZ with the description “Slight modification to experiment”
  • Add a new cohort for XYZ test: control 20%, treatment A 40%, treatment B 40%
  • Ramp up XYZ to 50/50
New Cohort

Changing Experiment Status

The experiment lifecycle can be managed, as well. Simply describe what status you want to move the experiment to with associated information. Sample prompts:
  • Set the treatment as the winner for XYZ experiment
  • Activate XYZ experiment
  • Mark XYZ experiment as ended
Winner Declared
