Dex is an AI data analyst for founders. Connect your databases, spreadsheets, or BI tools, ask questions in plain English, and get instant answers with recommended next steps based on your data.
@benln @topealabi_ solid launch tope. the sql transparency is the right call - trust killer if you can't verify the query. one thing that moved the needle for me: ran it alongside northr identity so dex had context on my role and what i'm working on, not just my data. the recommendations sharpened up noticeably. data without identity is still half the picture.

Congrats on a launch! Dex was an interesting naming choice — immediately associates with Decentralized Exchanges in my case.

@nikitaeverywhere Dex is short for index ;)

@nikitaeverywhere Thanks for the support
How does Dex ensure the security and privacy of sensitive database credentials while performing cross-source joins between disparate tools like SQL databases and spreadsheets?

@mordrag
Security and privacy are core to Dex’s architecture. Credentials are end-to-end encrypted using industry-standard practices and are never exposed to the AI layer. Dex only accesses schema metadata to understand structure, while credentials are decrypted temporarily at execution time to run queries.
We also implement multiple guardrails and validation layers to prevent unsafe queries or sensitive data exposure, and users have granular control to enable or disable specific tables and fields the AI can access.

@jay_song_dev Hi Jay yes we do support scheduled insights and reports sent to a sent to your slack DM as often as you would like it. Just ask Dex on slack
Cool product. When I was at Meta, getting access to data was very painful. Do you all have other ways to interface with the data other than Slack?
Dex
@obedeugene Asides Slack, you can also query connected data sources or upload files directly through the Dex dashboard. More messaging platforms and integrations will be added over time to enable broader team collaboration.
The Slack integration is the right call - that's where the questions actually happen. Curious how it handles follow-up questions in a thread. Can you ask 'now break that down by country' and have it remember the context from the first query?

The 'next steps' feature in Dex sounds like a huge time-saver for data-driven decisions. I have a question for the makers: does the AI suggest these steps based purely on current data, or does it learn from historical patterns as well?
Also, I’m wondering how others in the community are planning to use this for their content or product strategy. Any creative use cases yet?

@faisal_ahmed_rony Hi Faisal, great question! The next steps feature in Dex is primarily based on the current data, but it also takes historical patterns into account based on user queries when they’re available to suggest more informed actions.
