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.
Serverless cloud infrastructure for AI and data workloads
Write plain Python, attach GPUs or containers, and deploy HTTPS endpoints that autoscale with traffic and scale to zero when idle.
Launch isolated, secure environments for coding agents, RL rollouts, and untrusted code, with sub-second starts and support for over a million concurrent sandboxes.
Run fine-tunes, LoRA, full training, and reinforcement learning on elastic single or multi-node GPU capacity with no quota requests.
Serve LLMs and image, video, or audio models through OpenAI-compatible endpoints, or bring your own inference stack and let Modal handle the infrastructure.
