You can load spreadsheets into Jupyter today. With Pandas or Polars, you can import CSV or Excel sheets quite easily. PySheets is reimagining what Jupyter Notebooks would look like if you use a DAG, not a linear execution flow.

Just like CoPilot or Sourcegraph's Cody is used in VS Code, PySheets uses OpenAI to suggest the Python code to write when the sheet contains a Pandas data frame of a certain shape. The AI accelerates figuring out what APIs to call and when. I myself find Matplotlib and Pyplot highly confusing, and a coding assistant that writes my code in this niche, makes me a lot more productive. It is cool to say, "Take the dataframe in E13 and generate an orange bar graph for it," and see the code generated.



No no no. I can do grids of data with Pandas.

What I can't do (or don't know how to) is to have the data presented in an editable and interactive sheet inside Jupyter.

I've tried the widgets, and they're generally painful to use, or maintain the extensions required.
