AI data analyst that answers business questions with governed, verifiable charts and reports
Ask questions in plain English and get visualised answers built from configured metric definitions, so the same question always returns the same verifiable number instead of a hallucinated one.
Build and edit dashboards, port existing ones, and export branded PDF reports or slide decks styled with your company colours and fonts.
Always-on agents monitor chosen metrics, detect surges or drops, investigate causes across campaigns, news and demand signals, and notify your team proactively.
Connect warehouses and databases, Google Sheets, business apps such as Google Ads, or upload spreadsheets and CSVs, with synced app data stored in a managed warehouse.
An agentic analytics platform that turns questions into governed, trusted answers
Ask a question in plain language and get a reasoned answer with the SQL, charts and tables behind it, available in the Hex workspace, in Slack and from developer tools.
Write SQL, Python and R side by side in one project, then turn cells into interactive, parameterised data apps and dashboards without a separate BI authoring tool.
Centralise metrics, semantics and corporate definitions so answers stay consistent, and see exactly where the agent lacked grounding so you can fix it.
Run graded, rubric-based test suites against the agent to measure answer quality and catch regressions as your data and context evolve.
