Clean, automate, and visualize your data in one platform
Clean, normalize, merge, and reshape raw datasets without writing scripts.
Pull structured tables out of spreadsheets and documents so they can be analyzed without manual retyping.
Build interactive charts and narrative data stories that explain what the numbers mean, not just display them.
Columns Drive, Flow, and Graph cover storage and management, workflow automation, and visualization in one platform.
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.
Faster for ad hoc statistical analysis and data visualization from natural language, but lacks Hex's robust notebook workflows.
