Hex explores agentic analytics benchmarks and generative data applications, focusing on building interactive dashboards and apps directly from

Bruin Data Apps lets users create operational interfaces on live warehouse data. Unlike traditional BI tools, it supports server-side safety and custom actions. A data app is a small, interactive application built around a specific question or workflow, sitting on top of your real data.

Hex enables the creation of generative data apps, allowing engineers to build interactive dashboards and analytics tools using natural language prompts. This workflow accelerates the deployment of internal tools by automating the transition from raw data queries to functional UI components.

🎙️ DataGen — AI analytics is transforming the data landscape, shifting the focus from manual reporting to reliability and internal tool building. Tools like Omni, Hex, and Claude Code are driving this acceleration. The future of analytics may move toward a dashboardless environment.

This meetup focuses on agentic analytics and the technical implementation of AI agents within data stacks. Engineering teams will discuss deploying solutions using Snowflake Cortex, Hex, and open-source tools like nao. The goal is to share real-world feedback on building fully in-house AI agents.

chDB 4 introduces a Pandas-compatible API for its in-process SQL engine, now natively integrated into Hex notebooks. It solves eager execution issues by using a ClickHouse backend to optimize data pipelines. Data Store lets you write familiar Pandas code while executing it on the ClickHouse engine.

Hex introduces AI-powered agentic analytics tools to enhance data workflows, combining interactive notebooks and semantic models for improved governance.

🎙️ The Joe Reis Show — Explores the shift in BI tools, with traditional dashboards becoming a starting point enabled by AI agents, highlighting Hex and data engineering concepts.

ClickHouse and Hex enable real-time analytics applications. KeeperMap is used to manage queues and optimize data processing.

Sidemantic is a SQL-first semantic layer for consistent metrics, supporting multiple formats (Cube, MetricFlow, LookML) and databases (DuckDB, Snowflake, BigQuery).

Highlights Iceberg compute integration in Orchestra with Bauplan for lakehouse capabilities, and showcases data pipelines using MotherDuck, dbt, Hex, and Databricks.
