The Modern Data Company introduced Dex, a conversational AI experience built for DataOS®, the company’s enterprise data platform that works across existing infrastructure. Dex lets business users ask questions of their enterprise data in everyday language and receive explainable answers grounded in governed data products. Each answer draws on established business definitions, context and underlying sources. When the available data cannot support a reliable answer, Dex makes that limitation clear rather than generating an unsupported response. Dex is available now to DataOS customers.
Enterprises have invested heavily in data platforms, yet getting a reliable answer to a business question can still require considerable effort. Connecting a general-purpose AI model to enterprise data makes that data more accessible, but access alone doesn’t provide the business understanding needed to interpret it correctly. Models need to know how metrics are defined, how data relates across systems, and which information can be trusted. Without that context, even a convincing answer can be inaccurate or misleading.

Interim findings from The Modern Data Company’s third annual Modern Data Survey highlight the challenge. Among more than 500 respondents, 61% said reliable business context is necessary for AI agents, yet only 16% reported deliberately engineering that context into their data.
