Governed mode allows workspace admins to define specific rules for data source access by the Hex agent. Admins can restrict the agent to use only semantic models, specific projects, or curated warehouse tables instead of relying on the Endorsed classification.
Hex now provides API endpoints for tracking agent usage and credit spend, and allows importing Apache Ossie models into Hex semantic-project YAML via the CLI.
🗂️ Agent activity classifications Where someone opens the agent doesn’t tell you much about what they’re working on. People often explore data in a notebook, and a thread that starts as a quick question can end with a finished app. Context Studio now categorizes agent activity by what they’re for, not where they started.
💬 Chat with Generative Apps Data apps are built to answer questions, but the best insights often lead to new ones. Explorers can now chat with published Generative Apps to ask follow-up questions, investigate metrics, and keep exploring in an agent Thread without leaving the app.
⚖️ Publish and version eval suites Did last week’s guide change actually make the agent better? Now you can answer that question without rerunning every test by hand. Publish an eval suite from the CLI, schedule it to run automatically, and track its performance over time in Context Studio .
🎮 More control over Generative app iteration Directly edit text, create new chart properties, and queue up viz tweaks all in line. ✏️ Direct text editing You can also edit text directly in the app builder, just like you would in a doc.
🎨 Generative chart controls Previously, even small edits to your charts in generative apps required new prompts to the agent. Now, you can build custom, code-generated apps with the Hex Agent, and then use the Style panel to make point-and-click chart polishes.
⌨️ Semantic projects via CLI Pull your semantic spec out of Hex and into your repo, for local development and source control. This makes it easier to audit context or track what's changed.
🤖 Quickly toggle from chat to notebook Previously, you needed to wait a minute for Hex to convert your Thread to a notebook, now it happens automatically. After starting a conversation with the Hex Agent, you can easily switch views and build in the underlying notebook.
⚡ Fast mode Need an answer now ? Flip on fast mode in the model picker to push Opus models to 2.5x faster token output, at increased usage. The boost is most dramatic on long blocks of pure token output: big explanations, large blocks of code, or heavy reasoning.
🧪 Introducing Evals Measure Hex Agent performance and test context changes safely before they ship, all from the CLI. If you've added a guide or tweaked a semantic model, Evals helps you measure whether it actually helped , before you publish. To do that, define a suite of test questions with expected outcomes and run them against the Hex Agent.
🤖 Hex Agent via CLI and API You can now have conversations with the Hex Agent via CLI and API, so you can set it to work from the tools and scripts you already use, not just the browser.
✏️ Edit generative app code in Hex Sometimes you don't need the agent, you just need to change one line. Previously, you had to prompt the agent every time you wanted to make a simple fix. Now, generative apps can open in a real code editor right inside Hex, so when you want to change a label, adjust some styling, or fix a bit of logic, you can just do it.
⤴️ Spend limits for auto top-ups Forecasting credit usage is notoriously difficult, but staying in budget should be a breeze. Hex supports workspace credit pool auto top-ups with an optional monthly spend limit. This means you only pay for what you need, and you never go over budget.
🧠 Kimi K2.7 and Fable 5 Two new models are now available from the model picker: Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic's most capable model to date) and Kimi K2.7 (an open-source model, best known for its lower token costs).
🧑🎨 Hex Connector for Figma There’s a new connector that allows you to use the Figma agent to pull data from Hex right into your Figma files. This is great if you want to incorporate facts from your data into things like feature mockups or web page designs.
🗓️ Introducing Agent Tasks Schedule the Hex Agent to answer your recurring questions automatically and deliver results straight to Slack or email. Most insights aren't one-offs. The same questions come back every week: before the Monday standup, before the all-hands, before every sales call. Agent Tasks handles them for you.
🌐 Web search for the Hex Agent Hex already knows what's happening inside your business, now the Hex agent can fill in the gaps with what's happening outside. The Hex agent can search the web, powered by Parallel. Watch video Ask the agent an open-ended question and it'll search the web and synthesize an answer alongside your data.
🗄️ Hex is now in Codex At Hex, we want you to be able to analyze data from wherever you do your job. And we’re working hard on building our leading analytics agents and our unique approach to context into the places our customers are working.
🔌 Hex is now an MCP client Your data tells you what happened. The why lives somewhere else , in strategy docs, meeting notes, Slack threads, customer conversations. Today, the Hex agent can read all of it. Connect any tool that exposes an MCP server to the Hex agent. As part of our public beta, we’re launching with two named connectors: Notion & Linear.
🛌 Signed embedding for Generative apps You can now use the Hex Embed API to securely embed Generative Hex apps in your web application with pass-through authentication and row-level security. This brings a whole new level of customization to embedded Hex apps. You can match the visual style of your brand or web app with the help of the Hex agent!
🗂️ Connect repos as agent context Your data doesn't exist in a vacuum. Your dbt models, transformation logic, and app instrumentation hold a lot of context that makes your warehouse data actually legible. Now the agent can use it.
🥟 Introducing: Generative Data Apps Today, we're introducing Generative data apps in beta. Anyone can build a powerful app simply by prompting the Hex agent. Everything stays grounded in your trusted data, helping you avoid inconsistencies or hallucinations while building powerful, flexible dashboards and apps.
Notebooks, apps and the Hex agents.
