Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
Tableau Agent's conversational analytics depends on an AI-ready Tableau semantic model, making A correct.
Salesforce positions Tableau Semantics as the governed business layer between connected Data 360 sources and analytical or AI consumption experiences. Semantic models define standardized measures, dimensions, relationships, calculations, metrics, terminology, and business context that Tableau Agent uses to interpret natural-language questions.
For Snowflake data, the consultant establishes an appropriate Data 360 connection-including supported zero- copy federation where appropriate-and exposes the required Snowflake data through Data 360. The consultant then builds and prepares a semantic model containing the marketing concepts that Tableau Agent must analyze. Salesforce's Tableau Agent implementation guidance explicitly requires determining the required data, connecting it through Data 360, and creating suitable semantic foundations before configuring conversational analytics.
CSV export is unnecessary and creates an avoidable duplicate dataset. Building dashboards directly in Snowflake also does not establish Tableau Agent's governed semantic context.
The architecture is therefore: Snowflake - > Data 360 connectivity - > Tableau Semantic Model - > Tableau Agent - > Conversational Analytics.
References/Topics: Data Setup - > Snowflake Integration - > Data 360 - > Tableau Semantics - > AI-Ready Semantic Models.
