Hex lets data teams write SQL and Python in a collaborative notebook, with an AI assistant called Magic that generates and explains code. It is well regarded for the quality of its AI code generation and for the collaborative editing experience. Context governance is partial: you can connect dbt metadata to help the AI understand your schema, but there is no structured agent context layer or prompt testing workflow. It is cloud-only and priced per seat.
