Collaborative data science platform that combines SQL, Python, and no-code analysis with AI assistance
Collaborative data science platform combining SQL, Python, and no-code analysis with AI assistance and real-time collaboration.
Hex is a modern AI-powered analytics and data science platform designed for entire data teams, blending the flexibility of a notebook environment with the polish of a business intelligence tool. It brings together SQL, Python, R, and a no-code interface in a single collaborative workspace where analysts, data scientists, and business stakeholders can work side by side on the same projects in real time. Rather than forcing teams to choose between scripting power and self-service usability, Hex layers an AI copilot, called Magic, across every surface of the product so that users can generate queries, build charts, debug code, and even produce full notebooks from natural language prompts.
At its core, Hex organizes work into projects that combine a logical compute layer (cells of SQL, Python, or no-code transformations) with an interactive presentation layer (apps and reports). The same underlying notebook can be published as a polished interactive dashboard, embedded into another product, or scheduled to refresh and deliver results to stakeholders. Hex connects natively to modern cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, and Postgres, as well as to dbt projects and semantic layers, allowing analysts to query governed data without copying it out of the warehouse.
The AI experience in Hex has matured into a true agentic workflow. Magic can scaffold an entire analysis from a question, propose joins across schemas using warehouse and dbt metadata for context, write and explain SQL or Python, fix broken cells, and summarize results in plain language. Newer agentic capabilities allow Hex to plan multi-step investigations, iterate on results, and produce shareable narratives, positioning the product as a coding agent for analytics rather than just an autocomplete tool. Combined with version control, granular permissions, reviews, and SOC 2 / HIPAA compliance, Hex targets serious enterprise data teams while keeping the onboarding fast enough for individual analysts on the free Community plan.

Hex Magic uses large language models to generate SQL and Python code from natural language prompts, debug errors with contextual understanding of your project, and explain complex analytical results in plain English. It is schema-aware, meaning it understands your connected database tables and columns, producing accurate queries without requiring users to memorize table structures.
Hex notebooks support SQL, Python, and R cells within the same project, with reactive execution that automatically updates downstream cells when upstream data changes. This allows teams to combine the strengths of each language — SQL for data extraction, Python for transformation and modeling, and built-in charting for visualization — in a single cohesive workflow.
Any Hex notebook can be published as a polished, interactive data application with parameterized input controls such as dropdowns, sliders, date pickers, and text inputs. Published apps can be shared via link, embedded in other websites or internal tools via iframe, and automatically reflect the latest data when schedules are configured.
Multiple team members can edit a Hex project simultaneously with live cursors, presence indicators, and threaded cell-level comments. Built-in version control tracks every edit with full diff history, branching support for development workflows, and the ability to restore any prior version — eliminating the need for external Git integration for most use cases.
Hex connects directly to Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, PostgreSQL, and other major databases through managed, admin-configured connections. Query results are cached intelligently to reduce warehouse costs, and connection credentials are managed centrally so individual analysts never need direct access to database passwords or service accounts.

Weekly insights on the latest AI tools, features, and trends delivered to your inbox.
Through late 2025 and into 2026, Hex has leaned heavily into agentic AI for analytics. Magic has evolved from a code-completion assistant into a multi-step agent that can plan investigations, iterate on results, and produce narrative summaries with citations back to the underlying SQL and data. Hex has expanded semantic layer and dbt metadata awareness so Magic understands governed metrics, deepened integrations with Databricks and Snowflake (including support for newer warehouse-native AI features), and added richer app-building primitives such as improved layouts, conditional logic, and embedding controls. Enterprise governance has also been strengthened with more granular audit logging, expanded HIPAA coverage, and refined review and approval workflows aimed at regulated industries.
