Notebook-native AI analyst

AI Data Analyst Tool

Write Python, run cells, and inspect outputs from live kernel state directly inside Jupyter.

Notebook context aware

Sees variables, charts, and prior outputs.

Executes cells

Runs code, not just code generation.

Charts + narrative

Produces visuals and explains findings.

Security and privacy first

runcell runs notebook code in your Jupyter environment. Your files stay in your workspace unless you explicitly choose to share them.

Local notebook execution path
No forced dataset upload flow
Works with existing enterprise notebooks

What is an AI Data Analyst?

An AI data analyst is a toolset that turns natural-language analysis requests into executable notebook work: code, cell runs, outputs, and interpretation. It is useful for analysts, data scientists, product teams, ops, and finance teams who work in Python notebooks.

  • Exploratory data analysis (EDA)
  • Data cleaning and standardization
  • Visualization and chart generation
  • Statistical checks and sanity validation
  • Result interpretation and narrative explanation
  • Notebook-ready reporting and summaries

How runcell works

Step 1: Describe task

Ask for EDA, cleaning, charting, or a notebook summary in plain language.

Step 2: Agent writes Python

runcell writes code that matches your current notebook context.

Step 3: Runs cells and iterates

It uses cell outputs and kernel state to refine the next step.

Common workflows

EDA

User goal: Understand data shape, quality, and anomalies fast.

Example prompt: Scan this dataframe, summarize missingness and outliers, then show the top patterns worth investigating.

Output: Column stats, missing-value table, outlier flags, and a short narrative of risk areas.

Cleaning

User goal: Prepare messy notebook data for analysis or modeling.

Example prompt: Standardize column names, fix dates, handle nulls, and return a cleaned dataframe plus a change log.

Output: Reproducible cleaning cells, before/after checks, and validation outputs.

Visualization

User goal: Create analysis-ready charts with interpretation.

Example prompt: Build distribution, trend, and segment charts for conversion rate, then explain what changed month over month.

Output: Notebook charts (matplotlib/seaborn/plotly) plus plain-language chart takeaways.

Notebook Report

User goal: Turn notebook work into a shareable summary.

Example prompt: Summarize this notebook into an executive report with key findings, assumptions, and next actions.

Output: A concise notebook narrative with KPI highlights, caveats, and recommended follow-ups.

AI data notebook workflow

An AI data notebook combines your code cells, outputs, and analysis requests in one executable document. Because runcell is notebook-native, it can reason over the exact state of your notebook, not a disconnected chat transcript.

FAQ

What is an AI data analyst tool?

An AI data analyst tool converts plain-language analysis requests into executable notebook work: Python code, cell execution, and result interpretation. runcell is built for Jupyter so analysis happens where your notebook already lives.

Does runcell run cells or only generate code?

runcell does both. It writes Python and runs notebook cells so you can verify outputs immediately and iterate without manual copy-paste.

Can runcell see notebook state and prior outputs?

Yes. It works with notebook context, including existing variables, prior cell outputs, and charts, so follow-up requests stay grounded in current kernel state.

Who should use this AI data analyst page?

It is best for analysts and data teams who do day-to-day analysis in Jupyter and want faster EDA, cleaning, visualization, and reporting loops without leaving notebooks.

What workflows can it automate?

Common workflows include exploratory analysis, data cleaning, feature checks, chart generation, result explanation, and notebook summary writing for stakeholders.

Will it work with my existing notebooks?

Yes. runcell is designed to assist existing notebooks and cells rather than force migration into a new workspace or format.

How is data handled for privacy?

runcell runs in your Jupyter workflow and does not require uploading notebook files by default. Teams can keep analysis in their controlled environment.

How does it compare to Jupyter AI?

Jupyter AI supports prompt-based help inside Jupyter. runcell is focused on an analyst workflow that continuously writes code, runs cells, and iterates against outputs and notebook state.

How does it compare to Julius?

Julius is commonly used as a hosted “chat with your data” tool. runcell targets notebook-native analysis where execution and iteration happen in Jupyter.

How quickly can I get started?

Most users can install and start using runcell in about five minutes via the download flow, then run prompts directly inside a notebook.
