Why Snow Leopard matters?
Snow Leopard lets agents retrieve live, high-fidelity data at query time, so decisions are made on real, up-to-date business information. It never stores or caches customer data; access is secure, scoped, and explicit. It generates native SQL in real time, avoiding the overhead and inaccuracy of vector/RAG pipelines. The system is fast, reliable, and hits ~95% accuracy out of the box, making it a strong foundation for production-grade agents.
