How to get started
👏 You’re all set up in Hex. Join the Discord for support on any issues you may run into, ask questions, or join in on discussions with fellow hackathoners.
📓 Every Hex project is a launchpad to explore, transform, and visualize data.
🛠️ Cells are your building blocks in Hex. Mix and match SQL cells, Python cells, and visualization cells to create exactly what you need. Tip: to speed things up, use the Notebook Agent to write code and fix queries for you
04 - Exploring the data made available
Kalshi data can be found in VIRTUAL_HACKATHON.KALSHI.TOP_LLM_PREDICTIONS with a sample project on how this data was gathered here (you need to join the Hex workspace to be able to see this, see Step 1 above). This particular data tracks which company will create the best LLM for 2025.
FIFA data can be found in VIRTUAL_HACKATHON.SOCCER_DATA.<table_name>. There are four tables that provide information on historical FIFA matches. See the data card here.
Cultural slang data can be found in VIRTUAL_HACKATHON.SLANG.SLANG_DATA. This data is curated from social media and a GenZ dataset, more information can be found here.
🔗 Sample Datasets are accessible via the provided Snowflake database connection. If you are bringing your own data you can import csvs into your project
If you would like to write your data back to Snowflake, please reach out in the Discord for assistance. Otherwise, you can create a free Snowflake trial or use any of our supported database connections.
06 - Working with AI in Hex
We have 3 distinct agents - Threads, Notebook Agent, and the Semantic Modeling Agent.
Leverage the Notebook agent while you are building your app and analysis. It can write SQL, Python, and create Hex native charts for you - don’t sleep on this!
You can use Threads for a conversational experience with your data. This can expand the reach of users that can interact with the data you curate.
And lastly, build out a semantic model with our Modeling Agent. This semantic model is valuable metadata you can provide to Threads for a more accurate and trusted experience.
Additionally, you can find more helpful videos on our Youtube channel.
