What is Hex Magic?

Hex Magic provides AI tools that assist in data work such as writing queries, editing Python code, and answering questions. It operates within Hex notebooks, generating SQL and Python cells from natural language prompts while using database schemas, semantic models, and project context for accuracy. Updates enable creating new draft cells in existing projects, streamlining prompting with a unified interface activated by Cmd+Shift+M, and supporting dbt Docs, warehouse metadata, or Hex's Data Manager.
