Browser agents and stealth cloud browsers for real web tasks
Describe the task and get structured JSON back, handling multi-step flows behind logins without hand-written selectors.
Managed Chromium instances with residential IPs that are benchmarked for getting past bot detection and CAPTCHAs.
A free, open-source harness that plugs into coding agents; benchmarked as the most token-efficient browser tool of the set tested.
Run browsers in your own network or in managed US/EU cloud regions, with EU data staying in Frankfurt.
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.
