Crowdsourced arena where AI models compete and humans crown the best design output
Enter a prompt and see how multiple leading models respond, then cast a vote for the best output — the core mechanism that keeps the benchmark crowdsourced and independent.
Public rankings cover website and frontend builds, images and image editing, video and image-to-video, 3D, SVG, slides, spreadsheets, PDFs, code art, and text-to-speech.
Results are aggregated with Elo/Bradley-Terry-style rating systems, so rankings reflect collective human taste rather than lab-reported scores.
Dedicated leaderboards for agentic coding, Godot game dev, React Native, Android (Kotlin), and full-stack builders help developers pick the right model for real work.
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.
