## What the story says

Recursion's data scientists build interactive apps in Hex to replace static reports shared with biologists, who give feedback through comments on published apps. The company also uses a Hex Knowledge Library so staff in a hybrid workforce can see and collaborate on each other's data projects asynchronously.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Hex and Recursion, not ours.

> Biologists can provide pointed feedback with Hex by adding comments to a published Hex app. Then, I can go into a project, see precisely where the question is coming from, and often implement a slight change in minutes instead of generating a new report.
