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.

Chat with your database and get SQL, charts, and answers in plain English
Ask questions in plain English instead of writing SQL, making data exploration accessible to non-technical users while an inspectable query is generated behind the scenes.
Converts conversational requests into SQL you can review, and also accepts directly typed SQL for analysts who prefer to write their own queries.
Present results as tables, charts, or single values, download data as Excel or CSV, and save graphs as images for reports and presentations.
Connect databases and upload CSV, Excel, PDF, DOC, and DOCX files, organizing sources into collections for consolidated analysis.
