Hex

Strong

by Hex Technologies · founded 2019 · updated Sep 2026

Hex is a collaborative data workspace built around a reactive notebook: SQL, Python and no-code cells that all update together, publishing straight to an interactive data app without leaving the tool. Magic AI and the Notebook Agent write queries and code from plain-English prompts, explain errors and can draft whole analysis sections, aimed at data teams rather than the casual spreadsheet question Julius AI answers.

Strengths

  • +Reactive notebook combines SQL, Python and no-code cells in one workspace, publishing directly to interactive data apps
  • +Magic AI and the Notebook Agent write and debug SQL/Python from plain-English prompts and can generate full analysis sections
  • +SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR and ISO 27001 compliant, with enterprise customers including Cisco, HubSpot and Reddit

Limitations

  • -Professional and Team tiers ($36 and $75 per editor per month) cost more than a general assistant for a single spreadsheet question
  • -Built for data teams; SQL or Python fluency still helps even with the AI layer doing the writing
  • -No BI/dashboard layer of its own, teams running Tableau or Power BI keep those separately
