Snowflake announced that its AIM application is now in public preview. The standalone desktop tool builds on the existing CoCo migration engine but adds a guided workflow, automatic dependency installation and AI‑driven remediation. Users can connect to source databases like SQL Server or Redshift, convert code, test fixes and collaborate in real time without writing scripts. The app tracks project state so teams can pause and resume weeks later.

## The facts

- Public preview started on 2026-10-20 – “As of Oct. 20, AIM has a surface entirely its own: the Snowflake AIM application, now in public preview.”
- Supports 15+ SQL dialects and ETL tools such as SSIS and Informatica.

## Why it matters

Migration engineers can finish complex database moves faster and with less manual scripting, freeing specialized staff for other work.
