I am not sure what makes silver iodide special. Dry ice and silver iodide are so different: one is water-soluble, one really, really isn't. Both conceivably provide nucleation sites for water to come out of the gas phase (or ice). Dry ice is cold, which no doubt helps things along on the entropy side of things, and silver iodide's insolubility probably makes it a more efficient nucleator. Various people note that AgI has a similar crystal structure to that of ice; I'm too unfamiliar with the subject to say why, for example, we don't use apatite (calcium phosphate, another notoriously insoluble ionic compound that makes up your bone).
