I want to share a browser extension that I have been working on as a hobby project over the holidays. This extension is designed to help programmers get assistance with their code directly from within their Jupyter Notebooks, through ChatGPT.
ChatGPT has its flaws; however, I’ve noticed that for mundane tasks it can be quite a big productivity boost (similar to Github CoPilot). So to make that a little easier in Jupyter Notebooks, I wrote this simple browser extension that provides buttons in a Jupyter Notebook to auto-format a cell, explain a cell, explain the errors in a cell, and auto-complete a cell.
I use it myself and think it is pretty convenient, so others might find it useful too.
Adding ChatGPT to notebooks could be really interesting for conversationally co-creating notebook trasnscripts with an LLM.
I haven’t yet had a chance to play with that extension, but I also note GitHub - jflam/chat-gpt-jupyter-extension: A browser extension that lets you chat with ChatGPT from any local Jupyter notebook. (which I also haven’t had a chance to play with yet). There may also be others, perhaps that explore slightly different interaction styles. It will be interesting to see if/how this space evolves over the next fe weeks, and what sort of issues or user interaction insights each extension encounters in actual use.
Recently I open sourced a project a little bit similar to Github Copilot or Cursor under jupyterlab environment as well as jupyter-ai. But it does not have fast code completion. The intention of the NoteChat tool is to allow users to have more precise and controllable conversations. Currently only support openai and moonshot models. Please check it out.
