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.
Free GLM-powered assistant that turns prompts into slides, sites and code
Describe your topic and Z.ai drafts a slide deck with structured layouts, headings and visual placeholders you can refine with follow-up prompts.
Paste a brief or a bug report and it will produce code in common languages, and it can scaffold functioning web pages and small full-stack apps.
Chat, brainstorming, rewriting, translation and summarising all run through the same prompt box, with GLM Flash models keeping responses quick.
Ask a question and it can ground the answer in web sources rather than relying only on its training data, useful for current facts and comparisons.
Provides industry-leading reasoning, coding, and multimodal features, but lacks dedicated automated slide and document generators.
