DonutBot maps free‑form donut orders to real menu items by combining semantic vector search over product descriptions with exact filters pulled from Apache Iceberg tables stored on S3 and exposed via a catalog linked database in Snowflake so no data movement is required. Cortex Analyst converts natural language to SQL against a semantic view; Cortex Code auto‑edits that view to add a time‑of‑day dimension so the agent can answer “most popular in the morning.” TruLens and an LM judge flag logical inconsistencies, and iterative fixes reduce hallucinations and produce more grounded, data‑backed recommendations.
