Governed agentic and embedded analytics on your own data warehouse
AI drafts metric definitions from your warehouse, you approve them, and every dashboard, embed and agent answer resolves to one signed-off definition.
Ship customer-facing dashboards styled with your design tokens, in light or dark mode, with scheduled reports sent from your own subdomain.
Row-level and column-level rules plus role-scoped guest tokens are enforced before any SQL runs, so an embed can never show more than it allows.
An agent builds charts and edits dashboards from prompts, while an MCP server exposes the governed model to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or Windsurf.
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.
