Dex is an AI data analyst for founders. Connect your databases, spreadsheets, or BI tools, ask questions in plain English, and get instant answers with recommended next steps based on your data.
Dex helps teams get instant answers and actionable insights from their data without writing SQL or waiting hours/days on an analyst. You just ask questions in plain English and Dex instantly gives you the answer.
The Problem We Noticed In order to get the data they need, most people have to either write complicated sql queries or wait for a specialized data engineer. The data engineer has a backlog and is constantly swamped, meanwhile the non-technical person needs this data in order to make a decision. Thus, making data a huge bottleneck for making these critical decisions.
How Dex Solves This Dex is an AI agent that can automatically write sql directly on your database and visualize the results in seconds. It’s fast, it’s accurate and every number comes straight from the source of truth. You can even inspect the exact query Dex ran, so you always know where the numbers came from.
Dex connects securely to your:
✅ Postgres, ✅ Mongodb ✅ Snowflake instance. ✅ Google sheets ✅ Shopify ✅ Stripe ✅ and more
You can also upload spreadsheets as a data source. Once connected, you can ask questions either on the Dex web app or in Slack.
We’d love to get your feedback on what we’ve built.
So cool @topealabi_
Does Dex support any custom integrations like an MCP server (or similar protocol/server setup) for advanced workflows, or is that on the roadmap?
The multi-source approach is what makes this interesting to me — being able to query across Postgres, Sheets, and Stripe from one place is way more useful than yet another SQL copilot. The fact that you can inspect the actual query Dex ran is a nice trust-builder too.
The Slack integration is the right call - that's where the questions actually happen. Curious how it handles follow-up questions in a thread. Can you ask 'now break that down by country' and have it remember the context from the first query?
Cool product. When I was at Meta, getting access to data was very painful. Do you all have other ways to interface with the data other than Slack?
This is really cool. The "inspect the exact query" part is what sets this apart imo. Most AI-to-SQL tools I've tried just give you the answer with no way to verify the logic, which is a dealbreaker when you're making business decisions off the data. Being able to see what Dex actually ran is huge for trust.
Good job! Love that you're solving this problem. Curious whether & how it handles messy/incomplete data?
The part I like here is the recommended next steps based on data. getting insight is good, but knowing what to do next makes it even better. 👍
Pulling data from BI tools, sheets, and databases into one assistant is a smart idea. Instead of digging through dashboards, yo ask and get a clear answer.
@topealabi_ Cool product! How do you measure the quality or confidence of the structured data outputs?
Ican use postgresql mcp server, google docs mcp. There are a lot of tools for Claude, so I can just ask it a question. What makes you better then simple claude client?
Congrats on a launch! Dex was an interesting naming choice — immediately associates with Decentralized Exchanges in my case.
Love the plain English query approach — removing the SQL
bottleneck for non-technical founders is huge.
Quick question: does Dex support scheduled reports?
Like automatically sending a daily summary to Slack
at a set time?
How does Dex ensure the security and privacy of sensitive database credentials while performing cross-source joins between disparate tools like SQL databases and spreadsheets?
