You may have heard about our next-generation notebook (we love it, too), but that's only one piece of the platform we've built. Hex brings together every part of the data analysis workflow into one flexible, collaborative, easy-to-use workspace. Whether you're a data scientist or a less technical domain expert, you can explore, build, and collaborate. Go from quick questions to deep-dive analyses to interactive data apps - all without jumping between tools.

Today we’re announcing a bunch of amazing new features in Hex – and our first launch on Product Hunt! Why didn’t we do this sooner? Honestly I’m not sure, we were just busy. But better late than never… For anyone who hasn’t used Hex yet, it’s the world’s most powerful workspace for analytics and data science. It lets you work between SQL, Python, and no-code – all in one place. It’s already being used by over 1000 teams worldwide to better understand data, develop models, and make better decisions. A lot of you might think of Hex as a “notebook” – but we’re executing on a much bigger vision. We want it to be easy to work – and work together – with data, no matter your technicality level. Here’s what’s new… NEW DATA BROWSER AND NO-CODE QUERYING Searching for and previewing data has never been easier. Find tables, columns, or descriptions and instantly see previews. When you find the data you need, no-code cells load it directly from underlying databases - no SQL needed. SPREADSHEET-STYLE FUNCTIONS [*insert “Hexcel” pun here*] Hex speaks spreadsheet! Now you can add new fields using the world’s most popular data language – ExcelLang. over 60 of the most common spreadsheet functions. When you execute a calc, Hex’s compute engine compiles it to dialect-specific SQL, and pushes it down to the full scale of the underlying data. ENDORSED STATUSES Endorsed Statuses improve our existing Statuses feature and visually indicate trusted, governed assets. They can only be added by Admins and Workspace managers, and they are fully customizable, so you can add whatever name, color, and icon best suits your workflow. FASTER MAGIC AI TOOLS Our Magic AI tools make it easy to go from a prompt to analytics. With our new updates and the latest GPT4o model, chart generation is 10x faster and everything else will feel 2x snappier. Plus, we’ve added diff-based editing for Python. We believe the future of analytics is multi-modal, allowing you to work between code, no-code, and text prompts to build with data. We couldn’t be more excited about building toward that future and what it unlocks for everyone using Hex. Barry

I used Hex in a really early version at a previous startup, and it felt promising but early...It's been exciting to see Barry and team deliver on that promise - going from a data scientist focused cloud python notebook to a truly horizontal data tool. I started my career in tech as a data scientist (lots of really slow Hive queries at Yahoo) and I remember using Mode in ~2015, and how useful it was for ad-hoc queries and custom reports. I loved Mode in the early days, but at some point it felt like the evolution stalled, like a promise unfulfilled. Fast forward to a few months ago when we started using Hex at Product Hunt - It sounds like hyperbole but Hex feels like the analytics tool I've dreamed about. It allows for ad-hoc queries while staying relatively close to the data (good for collaboration, traceability), and allows everyone to work with data in their language of choice: sql, python, and now spreadsheets! The charts are beautiful and somehow I never have to think too hard to get the chart I'm looking for. Tufte would be proud. Plus the AI magic really does help someone like me with very rusty SQL get the right answer without banging my head against a wall. Also as a tool builder, it's been really interesting to see how the team has navigated complexity and multiple user paths to similar goals. There's been a ton of craft that goes into this and it shows. Congrats on the launch, Hex team!

Best ways to fight dashboard chaos?

As my dashboards grow more complicated they always seem to descend into disorganized chaos with a bunch of different datasets and charts all over the place.
What are some good way to fight the chaos and keep things organized when dashboards start getting complicated?

Can I set the default project sharing permissions to share new projects to my company?

It seems like when I create a new project, it isn't shared to anyone by default. Can I change these default sharing permissions so that new projects are shared to a group (or the entire company?)
I checked in the docs and it doesn't seem like I can, but figured I'd ask in case I'm missing something.
