What Hex is

Hex is a hosted data platform for exploring data, asking questions, and creating data applications. It combines notebooks with conversational self-service, and supports SQL, Python, and R. Users can connect data warehouses and local TXT, CSV, JSON, Parquet, Avro, and XLSX files, as well as metadata, semantic-layer, catalog, machine-learning, and workflow tools. Airflow, Dagster, and dbt connections can trigger analytical flows and app runs from data pipelines. Hex says its agent uses organizational context and can connect with Claude, Codex, Cursor, Slack, MCP, a CLI, APIs, or custom agents. Apps can be created from prompts, with code underneath and controls for the finished application. Context Studio and Evals offer visibility into topics, trends, and answer-quality warnings. The service supports real-time collaboration and version history, and lists Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) and Hex YAML (.yaml) formats. Community is free; Professional costs $36 a month per Editor, and Team costs $75 a month per Editor. A 14-day trial is listed.
