This project provides an AI-powered Jupyter Notebook alternative, Vizly Notebook, designed for data scientists and developers. It enables local AI integration for code generation, editing, error fixing, and data querying within a familiar notebook environment, offering a free and offline solution.

How It Works

Vizly Notebook integrates a local AI copilot directly into the Jupyter editing experience. It leverages natural language processing to understand user prompts for generating code, editing existing cells, explaining or fixing errors, and answering questions about data through a chat sidebar. The system is designed to run locally, supporting Ollama or custom API keys for AI model integration.

Quick Start & Requirements
