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.
One open-source AI gateway for 100+ LLM providers
Call 100+ providers and 1,800+ models using one request format, so you can swap models without changing application code.
Issue scoped keys per team, project or app, set monthly spend caps and see exactly who is driving usage and cost.
Distribute traffic across deployments, retry on failure and automatically fall back to another model or provider when one goes down.
Dashboards for request volume, tokens and cost per model, with support for logging and analytics integrations.
Provides a massive hosted model catalog with instant access, but requires trusting a third-party platform instead of self-hosting.
