"I want the agent locked to our semantic models when the business is asking questions.”
Don’t worry, we got you.

We’ve cut the cost of an agent conversation 75% this year, even as the agent got far more powerful, with more context and more background curation.
Our CTO Caitlin Colgrove on how we did it, and why we optimize for intelligence per dollar, not tokens.
The day after Prompt, we opened up our SF HQ for Customer Day.
This was a day for Hex customers to meet in-person with our different teams to get deeper on what we announced, and learn more about where we're headed next.
Thank you to everyone who came by, until next year! đź’ś

Trusted context looks different for every data team, and your agent should know the difference.
Governed mode in Hex lets you choose which tables, semantic models and projects the agent uses, based on what your team considers trustworthy.

Hex Co-Founder and CEO Barry McCardel argues that there's a "0% chance" that a company founded before 2024 would build its product the same way today. He warns that for those who don't start again from scratch, "the Reaper is coming."
"Sit down with a clean sheet of paper, get your closest group in a conference room in front of a whiteboard and just really try to clear your mind and be like, 'If we were approaching this market with fresh eyes, what would we go and build?'"
"Unless you were founded in 2024 or later, there's 0% chance that you would architect your product the same way today that you did when you started."
"I don't think enough people are really doing this, and I worry for those companies because I think the Reaper is coming for them, not because they're not working hard...but because they're not having the courage to be like, 'No, we actually are going to go take a bold bet and really think this from first principles.'"

Our first Prompt is officially a wrap! đź’ś
We spent a full day at the SF Mint, and one idea kept coming up: AI is changing how everyone works with data, and the data team’s judgment is what makes it work.
Thank you to every speaker, customer, and attendee who joined us, and to everyone who stayed for the haunted house. This will be a core memory and we cannot wait to make it a tradition!

Three sessions, one takeaway: the data team’s job is getting bigger, not smaller.
Fox’s Sean Hunter : Speed and accuracy don’t have to be a tradeoff. The skill is knowing which one each question needs.
@tryramp's Ian Macomber: The post-AI data team has two jobs. Help everyone build with data, and keep one version of the truth.
@lyft's Devon Mittow and Hex CTO Caitlin Colgrove: A question can start in any tool now. Your context should be ready for it.
The tools will keep changing. The value of a great data team won’t.

Today we announced Hex 4.0 at Prompt.
4.0 is the next major version of our platform, built to embrace AI agents and code, with the context and controls to make it work at scale:
→ Build from anywhere. Ask questions in Hex or from agents like Claude, Codex, and Cursor, then publish and share them securely.
 → Built for review. Inspect any number in an app to see exactly where it came from, and trace its full lineage.
 → An all-new execution engine. Queries run in parallel, results stream in as they’re ready, and changing a filter only reruns what it affects.
Hex 4.0 is available in private beta today. Link in the comments 👇

“Why are ticket sales down?” is a good question, but it's also part of a larger question about the fan journey. At the @NHL, getting to an answer required multiple steps and multiple people across the organization.
Oliver Gomes, SVP of Data and Insights, changed that by redefining what the data team does and what the business can expect from it. With a simpler path to insights, the team spends less time chasing the “why” and more time thinking ahead about how to grow the business.
What made it work, in Oliver’s words:
“Context is the difference maker when it comes to creating a true, productive relationship with your business users.”
For data leaders: What questions are you answering and how are you rethinking your organization's interaction with the data team?

Extremely proud day today: our first user conference, a nearly complete redesign of @hexanalytics for the agentic era… and some money stuff too :)
So excited for what this enables for our continued growth. Reminder: We’re hiring! Amazing designers and engineers wanted.
AI can build the chart, but you still have to know what it means.
In “We were never chart builders,” Andy Cotgreave made the case that data work was always about judgment, not output. AI just makes that more obvious. The work now is about curating context, catching when AI frames something wrong, and helping people across the business use AI well.
No playbook exists yet for this moment, which means great data leaders get to write it.

Bold move to rework an entire product - but exactly the right motion for the new era. Super proud of the @hexanalytics team- can’t wait to use the new 4.0!
In May, we had just closed our best quarter ever – and of course decided to re-build @hexanalytics from scratch.
Today we're announcing two things: Hex 4.0, the first analytics platform truly built for agents; and a $100m fundraise at a $1.2B valuation, led by @peakxvpartners
The world is changing fast, and we're not slowing down! Read more here:
