Hex is a collaborative data analysis and data science notebook that combines SQL, Python, R, and Markdown cells in a single document with real-time collaboration similar to Google Docs for data work. Its AI layer, Magic AI, accelerates the most common friction points in data analysis workflows.
Magic AI generates SQL and Python code from natural language descriptions. A data analyst can describe what they want to compute — 'calculate 30-day rolling average of daily active users grouped by platform' — and Magic AI generates the appropriate SQL query or Python code, ready to run or edit. This is faster than writing queries from scratch for analysts who know what they want but spend time on the mechanics of query syntax.
The AI code explanation feature annotates existing code with natural language explanations — useful when working with someone else's analysis or revisiting old work. AI debug mode identifies errors in failing cells and suggests fixes.
Hex's collaborative features allow multiple analysts to work in the same notebook simultaneously with real-time sync, version history, and commenting — solving the problem of analysis scattered across individual Jupyter notebooks that colleagues cannot easily review or build upon.
At free for 3 projects and $24/month for Starter, Hex is accessible for individual analysts and small data teams, with the team plan providing the collaboration features most valuable for data team workflows.
Hex AI runs as llm assistant software built around text and code workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, with API access for teams that want to embed it into their own products.
The capabilities that matter most for teams evaluating Hex AI.
Generates SQL and Python code from natural language descriptions, explains existing code in plain English, and identifies and fixes bugs in failing notebook cells.
Multiple analysts edit the same notebook simultaneously with real-time sync, version history, and commenting — solving the scattered individual Jupyter notebook problem for data teams.
Combine SQL queries, Python analysis, and Markdown narrative in a single document without switching between tools or managing separate environments.
Free plan (3 projects). Starter $24/month. Team $49/month. Enterprise custom.
