Explore.Transform.Maintain.
The agent-native analytics engineering toolkit.
Point it at your warehouse and your dbt project. It learns the landscape, authors your transformations, and tells you exactly what to fix when the schema drifts.

dbtData and analytics teams are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Two meters run on every query an agent writes. Dex is made to hold both of them down.
The warehouse bills every scan
Snowflake and Databricks are some of the most expensive consumption-billed software on the planet. An agent left to explore freely explores on your credit card.

Anthropic and OpenAI bill by the token, and nothing burns through a context window faster than data analytics. One unguarded schema dump can cost more than the query it was meant to plan.
billed per token generatedDex is made for teams paying both meters.
- Dex forces the agent to clear a cost guard before it runs an exploration query or a transformation.
- Dex gives the agent a set of tooling that makes it hard to get burned when transforming data.
Both come from tight control scripts that the SKILL.md files point the agent at, on every /dex:explore, /dex:transform and /dex:maintain.

Analytics Engineering is ETM
ETL ends at Load. Dex is built for what comes after.
Make sense of the warehouse.
Stop running SELECT * LIMIT 10 by hand. Dex intelligently profiles columns, infers relationships, and builds a comprehensive draft map of your tables, cached locally. PII is automatically flagged, never surfaced.
inferred relationships
Author dbt and semantic models.
Ask for a metric, and Dex writes the reviewable diffs. It authors dependency-aware dbt SQL models, schema tests, and full MetricFlow YAML. Validate against dev targets with built-in cost guards before anything runs.

Detect drift before it breaks.
Warehouses change. Business definitions drift. Run /dex:maintain against your .dex/ snapshot to instantly detect schema, grain, and semantic drift. Dex proposes the exact edits needed to keep your project correct.

Your data never leaves the warehouse.
Dex is read-only against your data and never routes it through Exmergo. Security is architectural, not a setting.
Data stays in the warehouse.
Dex is read-only, and understanding is built from SQL aggregates, never raw rows. Nothing is copied out, so your data never leaves your warehouse.
Your agent, your keys.
You run Dex through your own coding agent, on your own API key or subscription. Exmergo never sits between your data and a model.
Credentials never reach the LLM.
Dex connects with your warehouse credentials directly (for example, BigQuery Application Default Credentials). Those credentials, and your raw data, never enter the model's context.
Built for the production stack.
Every scan is estimated with a dry-run and confirmed before it spends, then recorded in a local ledger.
Single-player is free. The living organization is Enterprise.
Seamlessly bridge the gap between analytics engineering and business consumption.
