The spreadsheet engine built for AI agents
Headless calculation that is fully compatible with Excel and Google Sheets, running natively inside your application.
Agents read, calculate and edit workbooks through function calls instead of generating and executing code each time.
The engine lets agents interact with spreadsheets at up to twice the speed with roughly a third of the token usage.
A themeable spreadsheet viewer and an editor that feel native inside your product when humans need to step in.
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.
