<ComponentMetadata warehouses={["Snowflake"]} unsupportedWarehouses={["Databricks", "Amazon Redshift", "BigQuery"]} componentType="Orchestration" connectionInputs="One" connectionOutputs="Unlimited" />

Snowpark Container Prompt is an orchestration component that lets you host your large language models within your [Snowpark Container Services](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/snowpark-container-services/overview#).

This topic presumes you have a strong knowledge of Snowpark Container Services and have already set up your Snowpark container. To learn more about creating an app, read our guide [How to create a Snowpark Container Services application](/docs/guides/snowpark-container-app-how-to).

Matillion sends your data to your Snowflake warehouse as a [user-defined function (UDF)](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/udf/udf-overview). A unique ID is assigned to the UDF sent to Snowflake Container Services. Matillion does not retain this ID once your data has been sent to Snowflake Container Services. Your application that is running in your Snowpark container will receive the UDF data as a JSON payload in the format of an array of arrays where each sub-array represents a row of data:

```json theme={null}
{
    "data": [
                [0, "System Prompt", "User Prompt", {"Input Column Name": "Input Column Value"}, {"metadata key": "metadata value"}]
    ]
}
```

Your app should be set up to receive the data in this format.

You may wish to read the following Snowflake documentation before getting started with this component.

* Read [Available regions](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/snowpark-container-services/overview#available-regions) to check whether Snowpark Container Services is available in your preferred region.
* Read [Service Specification Reference](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/snowpark-container-services/specification-reference) for detailed information about the Snowpark Container Services specification.

  Provide your prompt. When **Output Format** is TEXT, this property is where you must specify all of the questions that you wish the LLM to provide answers to.

  Prompts should define the following information:

  * A persona. Who or what should the model impersonate when contextualizing their generative responses?
  * A context. Contextualize the situation for the model to enhance its responses.
  * A tone. What kind of language do you want the model to use?

  Providing an example output may improve performance.
</ResponseField>

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

<ResponseField name="Inputs" type="column editor" required>
  Select the source columns to feed as input to the prompt component.

  * **Column Name:** A column from the input table.

  * **Output:** Key of a `key:value` JSON pair. For example, an output might be "review\_score".
  * **Context:** Text that defines the output you expect the model to provide—that is, some task for the model to perform. For example, "Give a score between 0 and 10 on the level of satisfaction you feel in the user's review where 0 is completely dissatisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied." You may wish to use this parameter to configure the tone of the model (where applicable).

</ResponseField>

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

<ResponseField name="Table" type="string" required>
  The new Snowflake table to load your prompt output into. Will create a new table if one does not exist. Otherwise, will replace any existing table of the same name.
</ResponseField>

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

<ResponseField name="Create Table Options" type="drop-down" required>
  * **Replace if Table Exists:** The pipeline will run despite the table already existing. The table will be recreated.
  * **Fail if Table Exists:** If the table already exists, the pipeline will fail to run.
  * **Append:** If the table already exists, any new rows (records) will be added to the table without modifying or deleting existing rows. If the table does *not* exist, it is created and any new rows are inserted.

  **Snowflake only:**

  This component uses the **CREATE OR REPLACE** clause. When using the **REPLACE** clause, it also applies the **COPY GRANTS** clause. When you clone or create a new object (such as a table, view, schema, or database) from an existing one, the new object doesn't automatically inherit the original's grants (privileges). However, with the **COPY GRANTS** clause, you can seamlessly transfer object-level privileges from the source object to the new one. This helps maintain consistent access control and simplifies permission management when cloning or recreating objects. For more information, read [Snowflake COPY GRANTS](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/create-table#label-create-table-copy-grants).
</ResponseField>

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

<ResponseField name="Enable RAG" type="boolean" required>
  Click **Yes** to enable Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Using RAG optimizes an LLM output by invoking an authoritative knowledge base outside of the LLM's initial training data sources. By using RAG, you can extend an LLM's capabilities to specific domains, such as your organization's documentation, without needing to retrain the model.

  Defaults to No.
</ResponseField>

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

<ResponseField name="Pretext" type="text editor" required>
  Add text to your LLM prompt before the RAG data is listed, thus instructing the LLM what to do with the RAG data. For example, you might wish to use RAG to search relevant documentation snippets to answer a question.

  Example:

  "Use any of the following documentation snippets in your response, if relevant:"
</ResponseField>

{/* <!-- param-start:[ragConfig.inputs.searchColumn] | warehouses: [snowflake] --> */}

<ResponseField name="Search Column" type="drop-down" required>
  Choose a column in the source table that contains a search term for the vector database. The value is then taken from that column and a vector search is performed. For example, a column value might be a user question such as "How do I log in?". A search is then performed on the vector database using the value string, which will return N number of relevant data. N is defined by the Top K parameter, further down.

  If your vector database contained vectors created from chunks of text documentation, in this scenario the RAG data returned may include the chunk "to log in, click on the key button in the top right and enter your username and password". This data is then inserted into the llm prompt to help provide relevant context.
</ResponseField>

{/* <!-- param-start:[ragConfig.embeddingGenerator.embeddingProviderType] | warehouses: [snowflake] --> */}

<ResponseField name="Embedding Provider" type="drop-down" required>
  The embedding provider is the API service used to convert the search term into a vector. Choose either OpenAI or Amazon Bedrock. The embedding provider receives a search term (e.g. "How do I log in?") and returns a vector.

  Choose your provider:
