Google Colab
Google Colab is a free, hosted Jupyter Notebook service that provides cloud-based environments for machine learning, data science, and educational purposes. It offers no-setup, easy access to computational resources such as GPUs and TPUs, making it ideal for users working with data-intensive projects. Colab allows users to run Python code in an interactive, notebook-style environment, share and collaborate on projects, and access extensive pre-built resources for efficient experimentation and learning.
Colab also now offers a Data Science Agent automating analysis, from understanding the data to delivering insights in a working Colab notebook (Sequences shortened. Results for illustrative purposes. Data Science Agent may make mistakes.)

Hex
Hex brings together the best of notebooks, BI, and docs into a seamless, collaborative UI. Hex is a modern Data Workspace. It makes it easy to connect to data, analyze it in collaborative SQL and Python-powered notebooks, and share work as interactive data apps and stories. Your default landing page in Hex is the Projects page. You can quickly find projects you created, as well as those shared with you and your workspace. The outline provides an easy-to-browse overview of all the cells in a project's Logic View. Every cell in the outline lists the variables it defines, and cells that return a displayed output (chart cells, Input Parameters, markdown cells, etc.) display a preview of that output. You can click any cell in the outline to automatically jump to that position in the logic.
