Hex
The collaborative notebook for data apps: SQL, Python and no-code cells that publish as interactive apps, now with an AI that writes the cells with you.
Product preview

Overview
Hex is the notebook that grew up into a product: not a private Jupyter tab, a shared canvas of SQL and Python that publishes as an app a PM can click. The AI writes the next cell; the warehouse stays where it is. Julius is the consumer cousin; Hex is the company one.
It is expensive next to a local notebook. It is cheap next to a custom internal app for every question. If the culture is “put it in a slide,” Hex is how you stop. If the culture is already dbt plus Looker, it is another seat to justify.
Pros / Cons
Pros
- Notebook that publishes as an app
- AI drafts SQL with warehouse context
- Multiplayer, so the analysis is not a file
- Lives next to the warehouse, not a CSV export
Cons
- Paid, and seats add up for a data team
- Another surface if Looker already answers
- AI SQL still needs a human to trust the join
Who it's for
Shared SQL/Python analysis that becomes an app
AI-drafted warehouse queries
Replacing slide-export analytics
Multiplayer notebooks for a data team
Bottom line
The data notebook that publishes — buy it to stop exporting analysis into slides.
