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 real-time analytics for open source projects on GitHub
Explore over ten billion GitHub events covering stars, commits, pull requests, issues and reviews, updated as new public events arrive.
Follow star-based rankings for hot repositories and browse editorial collections that map trends across languages, topics and technical fields.
Query the underlying event tables directly with SQL, or pull the same numbers into your own tooling through the public API.
Dedicated views track AI agent frameworks, LLM tooling and MCP servers, making it easy to compare a crowded and fast-changing space.
