Why connect Snowflake to Windsurf (Devin Desktop)?
Windsurf's agent works across your files and terminal, but on its own it can't see what your campaigns are doing. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Snowflake tables, views, revenue models and customer data, so it can find which cohorts are worth the most with today's numbers.
All your Snowflake data
Tables and views your role can read, ready to ask about.
Always today's numbers
Column names, types and descriptions, synced from Snowflake automatically, so answers use today's numbers.
Connect all your tools
Questions like "What does a paying customer cost?" use Snowflake and BigQuery, GA4 at once.

Ask Windsurf (Devin Desktop) about Snowflake
Try "Compare last month's Snowflake numbers with the targets in config/targets.json and update the file where we're consistently off." Or ask: "Write the CAC query" or "Does the model match the source?"
Good to know
- Devin Local and legacy Cascade keep separate setups, so sign in to each one you use.
