## The use case: how Notion deploys Snowflake

Notion built Data Scout, an internal data agent that lets employees ask questions in plain language and get answers from governed data in Snowflake. The agent combines Snowflake data with business context stored in Notion, and Snowflake enforces data permissions for each user's own identity.

> Now anyone at Notion can ask a question in plain language and get an answer from our governed data in Snowflake.

- **about half**: “Today, about half of Notion employees use Data Scout.”
