Hex uses GPT-6 Astra to create interactive data visualizations

With GPT-6 Astra, users can generate written findings alongside trend lines, comparisons, and interactive dashboards. These tools allow users to explore key measures, rankings, and geographic breakdowns. For example, a user can query sales performance over time to identify top-performing channels or those that should be discontinued.

The integration also enables users to interrogate the model's output to ensure the analysis answers the user's question and reflects business objectives. Colgrove stated that GPT-6 Astra investigates more thoroughly, uncovers more of the data's pitfalls and nuances, and delivers more comprehensive analysis than earlier models.

The challenge in data visualization is that technically correct code can still produce an answer that misses the point. Effective communication of data requires not only the technical ability to transform data but also strategic choices about how to present those results to make the analysis meaningful.

GPT-6 Astra addresses the technical side of this challenge by improving the precision of data transformations and the way the model interacts with underlying libraries. This allows analysts to create outputs that are both functional and visually appealing.

To ensure these outputs are business-valid, Hex uses GPT-6 Astra to interrogate the results. This process involves the AI questioning whether the resulting numbers make sense, if the analysis directly answers the user's specific query, and if the output reflects the intended business objective.
