The honest brief

Golden Analytics

Built AI-first rather than bolting AI onto legacy BI, with a 'Slider of Autonomy' that dials how much the AI does versus the analyst.

  • AI at the core, not bolted on
  • Slider of Autonomy for control
  • Auto data profiling and dashboards
  • Free tier to start
  • From ex-Tableau product leadership
  • Very new (launched 2026)
  • Cloud-only
  • Limited track record vs. incumbents

Hex

AI analysis lands as editable, reproducible notebook cells, then ships as governed data apps — not throwaway chat answers.

  • Polished notebooks to shareable apps
  • Notebook Agent + Magic AI assist
  • SQL, Python, and R in one workspace
  • Strong collaboration and governance
  • Basic code completion vs some rivals
  • Fewer native integrations than Deepnote
  • Notebook model has a learning curve
  • Best value at team scale
