Hey Product Hunt! I’m Olivia, a product manager at Hex. Today, I’m excited to introduce the Notebook Agent.
For the last few months, data people have been watching as software engineers have been getting first-class agentic tools to do their work, stuck copying and pasting trying to keep up. We built the Notebook Agent to change that.
Now you can get the best of agentic capabilities in Hex. Just ask a question, get to a first draft in minutes, and iterate on any complex analysis with full control over the agent’s edits.
Why Hex? Because the agent lives right where you work — connected to your projects, files, and warehouse tables. It has the context and tools to understand your analysis and can generate SQL, Python, native visualizations, and Markdown summaries.
We’re already seeing folks use it to get started faster with ad hoc exploration and supercharge deep-dive analysis. If you try it out, let us know what you think!
🖖,
Olivia

I've never been more excited about a launch from Hex because the Notebook Agent has fundamentally changed the way data-savvy folks at our company get insights from data. Using the agent, I find myself asking more questions, experimenting and exploring more in areas where I previously didn't have the bandwidth to be curious, and making more headway on my own analyses before looping in our data team for review. Truly an efficiency multiplier (dare I say 10x?). Really proud of the team for building this amazing product, and can't wait to see what others do with it!
@nicolezhang same!! I've been blown away by how much faster + more creative I've been with the Notebook Agent at my disposal. recently my favourite workflow is going into other folks' notebooks/dashboards that I'm interested in, using the agent to ask questions, and then having it write a prompt for me that contains all the relevant data sources and domain info so I can start a related analysis in my own fresh notebook! 🔥

Really impressed by how Hex bridges data teams, business users, and AI agents all in one place.
How do you see AI agents evolving on your platform in the next year? Wishing you a fantastic launch!
Hex
@jason123 Thank you Jason!!
First and foremost is creating a trust worthy place for business users to ask and answer questions, and an easy and proactive way for data teams to continuously be curating that context. Next up is speeding up the time to make a dashboard - very tedious today and we think we can make this 20x faster. All coming soon :)
In the next year though we're thinking a lot about how to make insights negative time - imagine if Hex could automatically surface new learnings and updates based on your most important dashboards.
We're really looking for customer feedback though, so let me know if you have any ideas or asks!
I have been using the notebook agent as an early adopter and and it's genuinely transformative. I've been using it to build analytics views and products faster than ever. What used to take me a full afternoon of SQL wrestling and chart tweaking now happens in minutes. The agent doesn't just generate code it understands the story I'm trying to tell with data. The magic isn't just in the automation, it's in how it amplifies human creativity. I spend less time on tedious data prep and more time on the insights that actually add value.
Data teams everywhere are drowning in requests while trying to do deeper, more strategic work. Hex's Notebook Agent is the first tool I've used that actually solves this problem and allows me to focus on what the insights mean and not how to build them.

@conor_reid Connor! This makes me SO happy to hear - we 1000% agree! Data work is SO much more than just the code you're writing - I'm glad you're able to focus on the work that really makes a difference.
Please reach out if you have feedback or ideas of what you'd want to see next - our dream is to make you and all data teams as high leverage as possible!

We absolutely love @Hex at Product Hunt. We moved off Periscope a couple years ago and were immediately blown away by Hex. But, until recently, I felt a big difference between modern AI IDEs like @Cursor and Hex. I have come to rely heavily on Cursor's AI and agent features. It's amazing to see Hex close this gap. My view of the future of technical work is it will be a combination of asking agents high level tasks, fast AI function and syntax autocomplete, and great support for manual code crafting and editing. Love seeing Hex excel in all of these now.

@mikekerzhner thank you!!! We love the feedback your team has been giving, please keep it coming - we really rely on customers like yourself to help us figure out what's next!

Before Product Hunt, I started out my career as a data scientist at a start-up (@aviate ), and then later at Yahoo. I developed some pretty strong opinions about data at an early stage.
In particular, contrary to the "democratize data" movement, I don't believe it's important to make data access easy - instead, I think it's important to make getting RIGHT answers as easy as possible, while guarding against enabling fast, wrong answers. Easy, wrong answers can be toxic to an organization.
Hex is changing my mind on this. It makes it easy for someone to get data in a way that keeps them close to the actual data and schema - by helping them work indirectly with SQL. Before trying Hex Agent, I was a bit skeptical - I wanted it for personal use, but was worried it would be dangerous for non-expert users. After trying it, I think it's certainly a bit risky - but worth the risk. Plus they're closing the gap soon.
In a way, Hex agent reminds me of myself as a junior data scientist - a little green, but up for anything. It's actually made working with data fun again, despite my rusty SQL.
Congrats on the launch, @oliviakoshy1 @barrald and team!

@aviate @barrald @rajiv_ayyangar Thank you so much Rajiv - we 100% agree and this is the #1 focus area. We want everyone to be able to ask and answer questions but folks need trusted context and we need to make that easier for data teams, not harder. More here coming soon.
And keep us honest, we want all the feedback we can get!

This makes sense. As gen ai development continues to evolve and mature, we're all going to be data scientists.

@shanealeven Absolutely - at Hex our goal is to make everyone a data person :)
