Hex has evolved its data validation capabilities by introducing an AI audit agent. This agent automates the process of validating data changes, incorporating principles of standardization, flexibility, and traceability. It can design and conduct end-to-end audits, suggest relevant models to audit, ensure fresh development schemas, apply noise reduction techniques (like truncating timestamps and rounding floats), and handle large model comparisons by filtering prod data to match dev schema date ranges. The agent acts as a partner, prompting for feedback and flagging discrepancies for review.
