AI-evaluated small-group discussions that replace discussion boards
Turn existing readings and materials into AI-evaluated group or solo discussion modules with your own prompts and learning objectives.
Students talk through a case or question in small groups while instructors receive ranked insights, transcripts and per-student metrics.
An oral assessment mode asks students to answer out loud, surfacing reasoning rather than recall and resisting easy AI shortcuts.
A ready-made library of cases, simulations and community-authored modules that instructors can mix, match and deploy quickly.
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.
