Open-source no-code database, app builder and automation platform
Build relational tables with rich field types, linked records and data imported straight from spreadsheets, CSV, XML or JSON.
Work in grid, gallery, kanban, calendar, timeline, form and survey views, each with its own filters, sorting and colors.
Compose custom internal apps, portals and pages on top of your database without writing front-end or back-end code.
Create workflow logic with triggers, branches, conditions and loops, then connect HTTP requests, email, webhooks and third-party tools.
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.
