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.
A minimal, extensible terminal coding agent you can reshape
Build commands, tools, keyboard shortcuts, overlays, sub-agents or permission gates as TypeScript extensions, or install them as packages from npm and git.
AGENTS.md instructions, per-project SYSTEM.md, on-demand skills, prompt templates and customizable compaction keep the context window under your control.
Connect 15+ providers from Anthropic and OpenAI to Bedrock, Groq, OpenRouter and local Ollama, then switch models mid-session.
Interactive TUI, print/JSON for scripting, an RPC protocol for non-Node hosts, and an SDK for embedding the agent.
