What is Hex?
Hex's chat agent can now build and publish Hex projects — analytics is going fully agentic.
Hex has crossed from AI-assisted analysis into AI-driven analytics: the platform's agent can now create Hex projects directly from chat, publish versioned eval suites, and operate end-to-end across the CLI and API. The last six weeks have added BYOK AI providers, direct code editing in generative apps, and CSV scheduling — each release expanding what the agent can autonomously do rather than assist with.
What is Kameleoon?
Kameleoon refines its prompt-driven personalization editor with widget, targeting, and PBX upgrades.
Kameleoon is iterating on the new Personalization editor and the prompt-based workflow that sits inside it. Recent changes: a simpler two-step widget event creation flow that ties directly to Kameleoon goals, the ability to reorder personalization targeting rules from the new editor, and PBX prompt-area improvements (resizable prompt area, image paste as input). Survey widgets get a configurable response-recording trigger.

Hex's chat agent can now build and publish Hex projects — analytics is going fully agentic.
◆ Current state
Hex has crossed from AI-assisted analysis into AI-driven analytics: the platform's agent can now create Hex projects directly from chat, publish versioned eval suites, and operate end-to-end across the CLI and API. The last six weeks have added BYOK AI providers, direct code editing in generative apps, and CSV scheduling — each release expanding what the agent can autonomously do rather than assist with.
◆ Where it's heading
Hex is building an agentic analytics platform where humans set objectives and the AI builds, iterates, and publishes the work. The emerging architecture — eval suites, approval gates, model choice, Slack-native agent, CLI API access — mirrors enterprise software delivery pipelines, with Hex as the execution layer for data products.
◆ Prediction
Hex will likely add agent-to-agent composability or workflow triggers so Generative Apps can call each other; the eval suite versioning and skip-approval capabilities point directly at automated, approval-gated data pipelines.
Kameleoon
1.3ANALYTICS
Kameleoon refines its prompt-driven personalization editor with widget, targeting, and PBX upgrades.
◆ Current state
Kameleoon is iterating on the new Personalization editor and the prompt-based workflow that sits inside it. Recent changes: a simpler two-step widget event creation flow that ties directly to Kameleoon goals, the ability to reorder personalization targeting rules from the new editor, and PBX prompt-area improvements (resizable prompt area, image paste as input). Survey widgets get a configurable response-recording trigger.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is settling into the new editor as the default surface and accumulating the small ergonomics wins teams expect from a mature personalization tool — fewer clicks, fewer manual IDs, more control over evaluation order. The PBX prompt updates suggest AI-assisted variant creation is becoming a more prominent workflow, with multimodal input now supported.
◆ Prediction
Expect the editor's PBX surface to keep gaining capability — likely brand-context awareness, reusable prompts, and broader image-driven generation. Targeting and goal flows will continue to consolidate so users don't need to reach for IDs or admin pages.
