Install¶

Available on Snowflake Marketplace

It's a Snowflake Native App you install straight from the Snowflake Marketplace, and it runs entirely inside your account. View the listing on Snowflake Marketplace →

Prerequisites¶

  • Snowsight access with the ACCOUNTADMIN role (required so you can grant the account-level privileges in step 2).
  • A Snowflake Standard edition or higher account.
  • No outbound network policy required: the app does not make external calls.

1. Get the app¶

  1. Sign in to Snowsight as ACCOUNTADMIN.
  2. In the left navigation, go to Marketplace → Snowflake Marketplace.
  3. Type Altimate AI into the search bar and select the listing when it appears.
  4. On the listing page, click Get.
  5. Pick a warehouse to run the install with (any small warehouse works, since the app creates its own dedicated warehouse afterward), then click Get again to confirm.

2. Approve the requested privileges¶

Snowsight will show you six privileges the app needs: IMPORTED PRIVILEGES ON SNOWFLAKE DB, CREATE COMPUTE POOL, BIND SERVICE ENDPOINT, CREATE WAREHOUSE, MANAGE WAREHOUSES, and the SNOWFLAKE.CORTEX_USER database role. Approve all six to continue. For a Snowflake Native App, approving the install dialog is the grant, so you don't need to run GRANT DATABASE ROLE SNOWFLAKE.CORTEX_USER manually.

3. Open the app¶

  1. Go to Apps → Altimate AI in the Snowsight left nav.
  2. The bundled launcher will appear. Click Start app.
  3. When the URL appears, click Open web app. Snowflake signs you in with your existing Snowsight session, no separate password.

4. Onboard¶

The web UI walks you through three short steps:

  1. Connect: The app probes ACCOUNT_USAGE and confirms it can see your historical warehouse activity.
  2. Pick warehouses: Flip auto tune on for each warehouse you want managed.
  3. Optional, open AI Services: If you're using any Cortex AI features, see their spend and usage broken down by service, user, and model right away.

Uninstall¶

DROP APPLICATION from a Snowsight worksheet, or Apps → Altimate AI → Manage → Uninstall in the UI. Removes:

  • The application and the services it owns
  • The dedicated NATIVE_APP_WH warehouse
  • Every row of app state (savings logs, agent recommendations, auto tune events)

It does not undo the idle-timeout changes Auto Tune made on the warehouses you opted in to. They keep running with whatever Auto Tune last set.
