What is RunCell?
RunCell is an AI agent for Jupyter notebooks. It lives inside JupyterLab as a lightweight extension and works like an AI pair programmer for data science — writing Python code, executing cells, debugging errors, and explaining results in plain language. Unlike chat tools bolted onto a notebook, RunCell understands your notebook's full context, including the charts and image outputs your code produces, so its suggestions actually fit the analysis you're running.
What RunCell can do
An AI agent that works your Jupyter notebook for you
RunCell eliminates repetitive work and accelerates data analysis. It reads the structure of each notebook, writes and edits relevant Python code, executes cells, and explains the results — so you stay focused on insights, not boilerplate. It's the only AI agent for data science that genuinely understands the visualizations and image outputs your code generates.
Learn more on the features page, or read the documentation to see how RunCell supports end-to-end notebook automation.
Context & output awareness
The agent continuously analyzes the surrounding cells and your rendered outputs, then recommends the next best action — generating functions, fixing imports, or turning messy results into publication-ready charts.
Stay in the Jupyter you trust
RunCell is a Cursor alternative for Jupyter users. Install the lightweight extension, authenticate in one click, and collaborate with the AI agent in the notebook you already use — no need to switch editors.

How it compares
Where RunCell fits among AI coding tools
vs. vanilla Jupyter
Jupyter runs your code, but you still write every line and debug alone. RunCell adds an AI agent that writes, executes, and fixes cells for you — without leaving the notebook.
vs. Cursor & AI IDEs
Cursor is a great AI editor, but it pulls you out of Jupyter into a separate IDE. RunCell brings the same agentic AI coding experience into the JupyterLab you already use.
vs. Copilot autocomplete
Autocomplete guesses the next line. RunCell plans multi-step analyses, runs them, reads the results, and iterates — a full data agent, not just code completion.
