Jan 12, 2026: Specifying custom instructions in semantic views

When defining a semantic view, you can now provide instructions for Cortex Analyst that explain how to:

  • Generate the SQL statement

  • Classify questions and prompt for additional information

In the CREATE SEMANTIC VIEW command, you can use the AI_SQL_GENERATION and AI_QUESTION_CATEGORIZATION clauses to specify instructions for generating the SQL statement and classifying questions.

For more information, see Providing custom instructions for Cortex Analyst.
