About Hex
Hex is a collaborative data notebook platform that combines SQL, Python, and no-code cells in a single document, aimed at data teams who need more technical depth than a chat-based analytics tool but still want a fast, shareable workflow. Its AI agent can write SQL queries and Python analysis code from a natural-language request, explain what an existing block of code does, and suggest appropriate chart types for a given result. A key feature is turning a finished notebook directly into an interactive internal app or dashboard that non-technical stakeholders can use, without needing to rebuild the analysis in a separate BI tool. Hex integrates with a company's existing semantic data model, making it more suited to data teams already invested in structured data infrastructure than to solo, ad-hoc analysis.
