Hex
Hex is an analytics workspace where data practitioners run deep analysis, business users ask questions in plain language, and both sides work from the same trusted context. It combines agentic notebooks, conversational self-serve, and shareable data apps in one connected platform instead of splitting work across separate BI tools and ad hoc requests.
What sets Hex apart is its shared context layer. Semantic models, endorsed tables, business rules, and prior analyses feed every agent answer, whether someone is writing SQL in a notebook or asking a follow-up in Slack. Data teams can observe agent conversations, spot gaps in context, and improve governance over time rather than hoping a generic chatbot guessed right.
Hex is built for data teams at companies that want analysts to move fast without creating a backlog of one-off questions. Data scientists and analysts use it for exploratory work and publishing apps. Business analysts, product managers, and go-to-market teams use Threads to self-serve without opening a ticket.

Can business users use Hex without knowing SQL or Python?
Yes. Hex Threads lets anyone ask questions in plain language inside Hex, Slack, or via MCP and get answers grounded in your semantic models and business rules. When deeper work is needed, analysts can open the same thread as a notebook.

How does Hex keep AI answers accurate?
Hex grounds agent answers in a shared context layer built from semantic models, database metadata, business rules, and endorsed tables. Data teams can observe agent usage, review warnings, and curate context in Context Studio so answers stay consistent across notebooks and Threads.
Is Hex SOC 2 compliant?
Yes. Hex is audited annually for SOC 2 Type II compliance. Enterprise customers can also access HIPAA BAAs, OIDC SSO, audit logs, and single-tenant deployment options.
