Are you... Smarter than Scythe? Today's challenge is a classic boardroom brainbuster. Teams, tell us why Q4 sales were down. And what we can do to bring them up again. Let's get crackin'. I'll pull the CRM data. Let's cross-reference that with the PDF. It's 140 pages. I'll slack the data team for a custom dashboard. Tell them we need an ASAP. I know they're going to want a ticket. Sigh rings in. Talk to me, Sigh. Supply chain delays in EMEA caused widespread stockouts. To recover, we should reallocate our Q1 marketing spend to push over stock inventory in the APAC region. Bingo! And you didn't even open a spreadsheet. Sigh wins it again, folks. We'll try it again next time, right here on Are You... Smarter Than Scythe!

TL;DR

  • Snowflake's AI assistant Cy answers a complex Q4 sales question in seconds, while a human team gets bogged down in PDFs, CRM pulls, and data team ticket queues.
  • Cy identifies EMEA supply chain delays causing stockouts as the root cause and recommends reallocating Q1 marketing spend to push overstock inventory in APAC.
  • The video promotes Snowflake CoWork as a tool that eliminates manual data workflows and delivers instant, actionable business intelligence to non-technical users.

Summary

This short promotional video uses a game show format to contrast traditional enterprise data workflows with Snowflake's AI assistant, Cy (CoWork). The scenario presents a classic boardroom challenge — explaining why Q4 sales declined and recommending a recovery strategy. A human team scrambles through 140-page PDFs, CRM exports, Slack messages to the data team, and ticket queues for custom dashboards. Meanwhile, Cy delivers a precise, actionable answer in seconds: supply chain delays in EMEA caused stockouts, and reallocating Q1 marketing spend toward excess inventory in APAC is the recommended fix. The skit positions Snowflake CoWork as the faster, smarter alternative to the fragmented, manual data workflows that slow enterprise decision-making. The core message is that business users no longer need to depend on data teams or wade through static reports to get answers — Cy surfaces insights from enterprise data instantly, without opening a spreadsheet.
