Thanks for asking, Anas
Custom integrations like an MCP server or similar setups aren’t supported yet, but this is something we plan to add in future updates as we expand DexData’s workflow capabilities.
The 'next steps' feature in Dex sounds like a huge time-saver for data-driven decisions. I have a question for the makers: does the AI suggest these steps based purely on current data, or does it learn from historical patterns as well?
Also, I’m wondering how others in the community are planning to use this for their content or product strategy. Any creative use cases yet?

@faisal_ahmed_rony Hi Faisal, great question! The next steps feature in Dex is primarily based on the current data, but it also takes historical patterns into account based on user queries when they’re available to suggest more informed actions.
Ican use postgresql mcp server, google docs mcp. There are a lot of tools for Claude, so I can just ask it a question. What makes you better then simple claude client?

@valentina_konuhova Hi Valentina, Dex has several features that distinguish it from other products. It allows users to communicate with multiple data sources from a single interface, making data access and analysis much simpler. With Dex’s Slack integration, teams can interact with all their connected databases directly within Slack, enabling faster collaboration and faster decision-making. Dex also supports scheduled insights and reports, which can be automatically delivered to users via email or Slack, ensuring teams stay informed without needing to manually check dashboards.
@the_real_agboola But what about production servers data protection? Let's assume I have a financial app, it stores sensitive (very sensitive) data in the database. How could I align security with speaking about the data with a team?
Dex
@valentina_konuhova great question!
Dex is designed with data security in mind. All queries are executed directly on your databases we don’t store your data. For sensitive environments, Dex supports encrypted connections and integrates with your existing security protocols, ensuring that even when discussing data in Slack or the web app, your information stays protected.
Additionally, Dex logs queries for auditing, so you always know what data was accessed and by whom.
@topealabi_ Cool product! How do you measure the quality or confidence of the structured data outputs?

@damian_quiroga
Appreciate that Damian!
We don’t just let the AI wing it every query goes through a pipeline that ensures it only pulls from real fields and tables in your database. Low-confidence or ambiguous outputs are flagged for follow-up, and the system can ask for clarification when needed. On top of that, we benchmark performance against public datasets (bridsql -minidev) with predefined queries to objectively measure accuracy. This approach ensures our outputs are both reliable and correct.
Pulling data from BI tools, sheets, and databases into one assistant is a smart idea. Instead of digging through dashboards, yo ask and get a clear answer.

@shawn_idrees Yes, that is the goal. Thanks for the support, Shawn.
Good job! Love that you're solving this problem.
Curious whether & how it handles messy/incomplete data?
Dex
@zeebs Thanks for the feedback.
Our data ingestion layer already handles this.
