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.
An AI IDE and coding agent that works on your project, not just your cursor
Trae reads your project files and dependencies, so its suggestions account for how the codebase is actually structured rather than treating each file in isolation.
Describe a task and the agent plans and applies multi-file edits, shows a diff for review, and can run terminal commands as part of the change.
Ask questions about unfamiliar code, get inline explanations, and have bugs or failing tests diagnosed and fixed with context.
TraeCode covers the coding workflow, while TraeWork applies an AI assistant to everyday knowledge tasks — both download for desktop, with a web option.
