What it does

ChatGPT for Jupyter is a browser extension that adds AI helper actions to Jupyter Notebooks. Its main functions work on a code cell: add comments, docstrings and formatting, explain the code in simple terms, help debug an error message, suggest a completion, and produce a code review. There is also an ask-a-question action and a voice command, both marked as work in progress. The repository was archived by its owner in September 2023 and is read-only, because the author could no longer maintain it. The README recommends jupyterlab/jupyter-ai as an alternative. It also warns that ChatGPT output can be wrong, so modified or generated code should always be checked. The README lists the Chrome Web Store for Chrome and Edge, or local installs in Chrome, Edge or Firefox from a release download or a source build. For the voice command you supply an OpenAI API key, and speech is handled by OpenAI's Whisper service, which the page says is billed at $0.006 per minute. The code is released under GPL-3.0.
