Reactive TypeScript backend with database, functions and AI gateway
Document store with ACID transactions that pushes live updates to subscribed clients automatically, no manual invalidation needed.
Schema, queries, mutations, actions and HTTP endpoints are written in TypeScript with end-to-end type safety from client to database.
Open-source modular building blocks such as Agent, Workflow, Workpool, Stripe, Resend and Twilio that drop into your app.
Call major language models through one unified API and billing path instead of managing separate provider credentials.
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.
