Interactive courses for data science, AI and analytics skills
Short browser-based exercises in Python, SQL, R and more give instant feedback so you learn by writing real code.
Structured learning paths for data analyst, data scientist, AI engineer and other roles sequence courses into a coherent curriculum.
Exams such as AI Fundamentals, SQL Associate and Data Analyst certification let you demonstrate verified skills to employers.
An in-platform AI assistant helps explain concepts and debug code, alongside courses on the OpenAI API, prompt engineering and building AI apps.

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.
