AI decision intelligence that turns fragmented business data into explainable answers
Connects 290+ business systems — accounting, CRM, ERP, production and financial platforms — into one continuously updated data layer.
Prebuilt AR aging, profit and loss, cash flow, balance sheet and KPI dashboards that run on real data and refresh in real time.
Deterministic workflows and human-in-the-loop review keep the AI's findings traceable rather than treating it as an unverifiable black box.
Turns business data into written, actionable insights that challenge assumptions and point to next steps.

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.
