I was tired of using ChatGPT/Cursor to generate code and then copy-pasting it into notebooks to actually run things, so I built Bloom.

Bloom is a local IDE for data science with an AI agent built-in. It works with Jupyter notebooks, helps you write SQL/Python, runs code, plots, and can even generate reports and dashboards.

The macOS installer is live on the website, the beta is free for a limited time. Would love feedback on what’s useful, what’s broken, and what you’d want to see next.

Does it share any proprietary data with the LLM?

No it does not share the underlying data with the LLM. It does share intermediate outputs with the LLM.

Why would anyone use this over cursor?

That's a good question. Cursor doesn't work with notebooks, it can't create, update or execute notebooks, Bloom supports notebooks natively. Cursor is created for software engineers, while Bloom is created for Data Scientists and Analysts.

very cool you built something for yourself, but just a heads up, cursor is adding notebook support next week (one of the founders posted it earlier this week on twitter).

Oh thanks for the headsup.
