Summary

Hex Technologies has launched a major update focused on enhancing data analytics through AI with the introduction of Threads, a new conversational analytics interface designed for both technical and non-technical users. Built on Hex's existing infrastructure, Threads integrates seamlessly with users' workspaces to leverage context, making data analysis more accurate and accessible. By using Anthropic's Sonnet 4.5 model, Threads improves the speed and capability of handling complex analytics tasks. Additionally, it allows business users to generate insights via natural language and collaborate with data teams through notebooks for deeper analysis and validation. Hex's commitment to interoperability is evident in its support for the Open Semantic Interchange initiative, enabling more flexible and portable semantic models. The platform also continues to advance its no-code data visualization tool, Explore, and has improved the functionality of its Notebook Agent, facilitating easier deep-dive analysis and dashboard creation. With all these new features live, Hex aims to bridge the gap between self-service data access and analytics, inviting users to explore its capabilities across various devices, including mobile.
