This talk explores how AI agents integrated directly into Jupyter notebooks can help with every part of your data science work. We'll cover the latest notebook-focused agentic features in VS Code, demonstrating how they automate tedious tasks like environment management or graph styling, enhance your "scratch notebook" to sharable code, and more generally streamline data science workflows directly in notebooks.
While there are many places to explore AI assisted coding, starting off with tools you are familiar with can make the learning curve much easier to hurdle. This talk explores how AI agents integrated directly into Jupyter notebooks can help with every part of your data science work. We'll cover the latest notebook-focused agentic features in VS Code, demonstrating how they automate tedious tasks like environment management or graph styling, enhance your "scratch notebook" to sharable code, and more generally streamline data science workflows directly in notebooks. Attendees will see practical examples of agents assisting in real-life scenarios for code generation, debugging, documentation, and data management. Whether you're a data scientist, researcher, or developer, no matter your skill level you'll leave with some new tools to boost productivity and collaboration in Jupyter notebooks.
