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.

Create 3D models from text and images in seconds
Describe an object and Tripo produces a 3D model, which is useful for fast blocking, prototypes, and concept exploration.
Upload a photo, render, or sketch and get a 3D model that follows the input's shape and details, with models up to roughly 2M polygons.
Smart Mesh produces native quad meshes between 500 and 25K polygons with artist-quality edge flow that import straight into game engines without retopology.
Generate full PBR texture sets up to 8K or clean base-color textures so models match your project's art style.
