Hex
Dataki and Hex solve different halves of the problem
Hex is a polished collaborative notebook for analysts who write SQL and Python, with an AI assistant layered on top. Dataki starts from the other end: the person asking has no notebook and no Python, and the artifact that survives the session is a shared dashboard rather than a notebook someone has to re-run.
Why Dataki?
- Zero learning curve: Ask questions in plain English. No SQL or proprietary formula languages required.
- Instant dashboards: AI generates fully interactive, multi-layered dashboards in seconds.
- Designed for business teams AND data teams. Democratize analytics securely.
- Modern, beautiful default styling that you'll be proud to share to executives.
