About
Hex is a collaborative data science notebook platform that combines the flexibility of Jupyter-style notebooks with enterprise-grade features for team collaboration, publishing, and AI-powered code generation. Like Jupyter, Hex supports Python and SQL in cell-based notebooks with inline visualizations. But Hex goes significantly further with built-in collaboration features that let multiple team members work on the same notebook simultaneously, a publishing system that turns analyses into interactive data apps and dashboards, data connections that integrate with Snowflake BigQuery Redshift and other warehouses seamlessly. Hex AI features include AI cell generation where you describe what analysis you want and it writes the Python or SQL code, natural language to SQL that translates plain English questions into database queries, magic cleaning that automatically fixes common data quality issues, and AI explanations that describe what each cell does in plain language. The platform also supports parameterized apps that let non-technical users run analyses with different inputs without touching code. For data scientists and analysts, Hex provides a more productive and collaborative environment than traditional Jupyter notebooks. The publishing feature is particularly valuable turning ad-hoc analyses into reusable tools for stakeholders. Pricing includes a free tier for individual users with community compute.
