Dex is 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. Built for analytics engineers and data engineers who want more out of their coding agent.

●●●BangerSolve My ProblemBig Brain
Closes the context gap for coding agents by owning the dbt project as a first-class object.
Strengths
- •Read-only warehouse exploration with PII-aware query firewalls prevents costly mistakes.
- •Explicitly handles schema drift and semantic model coherence over time.
- •Integrates directly into Claude Code and generic agents via standardized skills.
Weaknesses
- •Heavily dependent on the dbt ecosystem, limiting utility for non-dbt users.
- •Agent reliability depends on underlying LLM performance for complex SQL generation.

OpenSustain.Analytics
Clickable project and organisation pages plus CSV downloads make this an immediately usable explorer for anyone auditing open-source climate work. The dashboard surfaces rankings, timelines and 'Good First Issues' links (via ClimateTriage), which is practical; however citation coverage is thin and there's limited methodological detail, so it feels like a strong MVP rather than a breakthrough.

Claw Diary – Show HN: Visualize what your AI agent does every day
If you run personal agents this nails a frequently ignored need: it auto-collects agent lifecycle events via Claude hooks and turns raw calls into readable daily markdown, searchable timelines with animated replay, and 30-day cost/failure analytics. The local-only model and the whimsical 'AI Journal' entries are neat differentiators — main caveat: it’s tightly coupled to Claude hooks and the install/edit-settings friction will limit casual adoption.
