<Info>
  Production use of this feature is available for specific editions only. [Contact our sales team](https://www.matillion.com/contact) for more information.
</Info>

The [Cortex Summarize](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/functions/summarize-snowflake-cortex) transformation component uses [Snowflake Cortex](https://www.snowflake.com/en/data-cloud/cortex/) to summarize the input text of one or more columns and write the result to new output columns. All text rows in the selected input columns will be summarized. If the input text is too short to allow a meaningful summary to be generated, the original text will be output instead.

Currently, this summary is only suitable for English-language text. For other languages, consider using the component in conjunction with the [Cortex Translate](/docs/components/cortex-translate) component.

To use this component, you must use a Snowflake role that has been granted the [SNOWFLAKE.CORTEX\_USER database role](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/snowflake-db-roles#label-snowflake-db-roles-cortex-schema). Read [Required Privileges](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowflake-cortex/llm-functions#label-cortex-llm-privileges) to learn more about granting this privilege.

To learn more about Snowflake Cortex, such as availability, usage quotas, managing costs, and more, read [Large Language Model (LLM) Functions (Snowflake Cortex)](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowflake-cortex/llm-functions).

### Use case

This component lets you summarize information to gain key insights from large amounts of data. For example, you can use it to:

* Condense transcripts of tech support chats down to the reported issue and the steps taken to solve it.
* Summarize detailed patient notes in healthcare for later use by healthcare providers.

<ResponseField name="Name" type="string" required>
  A human-readable name for the component.
</ResponseField>

{/* <!-- param-start:[columns] | warehouses: [snowflake] --> */}

<ResponseField name="Columns" type="dual listbox" required>
  Choose one or more columns to summarize. Move columns left-to-right to select them to be summarized.

  All input columns are available to select, but only text columns will produce meaningful summaries.
</ResponseField>

{/* <!-- param-start:[includeInputColumns] | warehouses: [snowflake] --> */}

<ResponseField name="Include Input Columns" type="boolean" required>
  * **Yes:** Outputs both your source input columns *and* the new summary columns. This will also include those input columns *not* selected in **Columns**.
  * **No:** Only outputs the new summary columns.
