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.
AI visibility platform to get your brand cited in AI search
Run the prompts your buyers ask across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and AI Overviews, and see a visibility score, mention rate, and average position by brand, topic, and model.
See every domain and URL the AI answers cite, how often they appear, and whether they mention your brand, so you can target the sources that actually shape answers.
Draft and optimize articles in a guided editor built to earn citations in AI answers and rankings in Google, with content audit and topical map support.
Find the questions your audience asks AI and Google, and spot weak pages and content gaps worth fixing or rebuilding.
