Hey HN! That's me talking in the video. This is basically GPT-4 + the new functions capability. We added this to Deepnote during a 2-day hackathon and were surprised by how well it works. Let me know if you have any questions!

That is insanely cool, granted I didn't log in to your platform and test it. But if ChatGPT is good enough to do this, why bother with the interface, python, and pandas at all?

Why not just ask it plain text questions such as `Tell me about the outliers of flights times and correlate them with weather conditions` and receive plaintext answer? `We found that planes struck by lightening take longer to get to their destination`. Do we think that ChatGPT is not yet ready to do anything creative with the data?

We already know ChatGPT is not good enough to do all that without being able to run code. That's why ChatGPT Code Interpreter is so powerful. It was even branded GPT4.5 in this podcast[0] which I think is apt.

However, bringing that auto-coding loop into a persistent executable environment that you can revisit, adjust, and follow up on is a big win I think.
