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.
The multi-source approach is what makes this interesting to me — being able to query across Postgres, Sheets, and Stripe from one place is way more useful than yet another SQL copilot. The fact that you can inspect the actual query Dex ran is a nice trust-builder too.

Thanks for asking, Anas
Custom integrations like an MCP server or similar setups aren’t supported yet, but this is something we plan to add in future updates as we expand DexData’s workflow capabilities.
Ican use postgresql mcp server, google docs mcp. There are a lot of tools for Claude, so I can just ask it a question. What makes you better then simple claude client?

@valentina_konuhova Hi Valentina, Dex has several features that distinguish it from other products. It allows users to communicate with multiple data sources from a single interface, making data access and analysis much simpler. With Dex’s Slack integration, teams can interact with all their connected databases directly within Slack, enabling faster collaboration and faster decision-making. Dex also supports scheduled insights and reports, which can be automatically delivered to users via email or Slack, ensuring teams stay informed without needing to manually check dashboards.
@the_real_agboola But what about production servers data protection? Let's assume I have a financial app, it stores sensitive (very sensitive) data in the database. How could I align security with speaking about the data with a team?

@valentina_konuhova great question!
Dex is designed with data security in mind. All queries are executed directly on your databases we don’t store your data. For sensitive environments, Dex supports encrypted connections and integrates with your existing security protocols, ensuring that even when discussing data in Slack or the web app, your information stays protected.
Additionally, Dex logs queries for auditing, so you always know what data was accessed and by whom.
@topealabi_ Cool product! How do you measure the quality or confidence of the structured data outputs?

@damian_quiroga
Appreciate that Damian!
We don’t just let the AI wing it every query goes through a pipeline that ensures it only pulls from real fields and tables in your database. Low-confidence or ambiguous outputs are flagged for follow-up, and the system can ask for clarification when needed. On top of that, we benchmark performance against public datasets (bridsql -minidev) with predefined queries to objectively measure accuracy. This approach ensures our outputs are both reliable and correct.
Good job! Love that you're solving this problem.
Curious whether & how it handles messy/incomplete data?
Dex
@zeebs Thanks for the feedback.
Our data ingestion layer already handles this.
This hits on a real pain point. Non-technical founders asking data engineers for "quick queries" is a tale as old as startups. The backlog never shrinks, and by the time you get your answer, the decision window has passed.
Love that you can inspect the actual SQL - trust but verify is key when making business decisions based on AI-generated queries.
Question: How does Dex handle ambiguous questions? Like if I ask "what's our best performing product?" - does it ask clarifying questions or make assumptions about metrics (revenue vs units vs margin)?
