What is Hex?

Hex is a collaborative workspace designed for data teams to write, test, and share SQL and Python code without needing to switch between multiple tools. It combines a notebook-style interface with built-in AI assistance, allowing analysts and engineers to query databases, transform data, and create visualisations in one place. The AI features help generate and refine code, making it useful for both experienced developers and those less comfortable with coding syntax. Teams can work together on the same projects in real time, share results with stakeholders, and publish interactive reports that update automatically when underlying data changes.

Key features

AI-assisted SQL and Python code generation and completion

Real-time collaborative editing with multiple team members

Direct database connections for querying without exporting data

Interactive visualisations and dashboard creation

Version control and project sharing capabilities

Automatic report publication with scheduled refreshes

Pros & cons

Advantages

  • Reduces context switching by combining SQL, Python, and visualisations in one tool
  • AI assistance speeds up code writing and debugging for users of varying skill levels
  • Shareable, interactive outputs make it easy to communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders
  • Collaborative features allow teams to work on analyses together in real time

Limitations

  • Free tier likely has limitations on project storage, collaborators, or execution time that may require paid upgrade for regular team use
  • Vendor lock-in risk if analyses become dependent on Hex's environment; exporting work to other tools may require extra effort

Use cases

Data analysts exploring datasets and creating ad-hoc reports for business teams

Analytics engineers building and documenting data pipelines with Python and SQL

Teams sharing exploratory analysis and findings without requiring recipients to write code

Building internal dashboards and metrics that update automatically from source databases

Training or documentation where interactive code examples need to be shown alongside explanations
