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.
Free AI-powered PDF editor, converter and reader for every device
Upload a PDF and ask questions in natural language, follow up on details and see which passages the answers came from. A separate chat mode works with YouTube videos.
Translate whole documents, including scanned and image-based PDFs, into 20+ languages while keeping the original formatting and layout intact.
Convert invoices, receipts, bank statements and purchase orders into structured, editable Excel files automatically.
Edit text and images, OCR scanned pages, convert to and from Office formats, then merge, split, compress, watermark, sign and annotate.
