Hex is an AI analytics platform that combines agentic notebooks, conversational analytics, and interactive data apps so data teams and business users can explore governed data together.
About
Hex is an AI analytics platform built for both human analysts and AI agents. It addresses a common problem in modern business intelligence: traditional BI tools, standalone chat apps, and ad-hoc AI coding produce inconsistent answers with weak governance. Hex brings analytics, agentic notebooks, conversational self-service, and interactive data apps into one governed workspace.
The platform works by grounding AI answers in an organization's own context. A component called Context Studio collects business definitions, models, and analytical work so agents can use them across Hex, Slack, MCP-connected tools, and the command line. Data teams can inspect agent activity, evaluate context changes, and fill gaps in answers. Hex supports SQL, Python, and no-code analysis, connects to common warehouses and semantic layers, and is used by companies such as Notion, StubHub, and LangChain. Workspace data is kept private, with enterprise-grade permissions and audit controls available.

Who It's For
Hex is aimed at data teams, data scientists, analytics engineers, and business analysts who need to move from ticket-driven reporting to governed self-service. Typical users include teams migrating from traditional BI tools, organizations building a context layer for AI on their data, and companies that want chat interfaces such as Slack to answer data questions reliably. Business users without SQL or Python skills can explore data conversationally, while technical analysts retain full notebook and API access in the same workspace.
