The Modern Data Company has launched Dex, a conversational analytics tool that lets business users ask questions in plain language and trace the answers back to governed data products in DataOS.
Dex uses the metrics, business definitions, and relationships already established in those data products to interpret questions. It shows which definitions, filters, and sources contributed to an answer. The company says Dex flags questions when the available governed data cannot support a reliable response.
DataOS checks users’ identities and permissions as queries run, so the data available to Dex depends on what each user is authorized to see. Users can also ask follow-up questions that build on the context of the original query.
Dex is available to DataOS customers and can work with data in platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery, as well as Iceberg tables and operational databases.
