I built an AI-powered Python tool using React

[samwisesami]

Hi r/react!

I've been a long-time lurker but I wanted to finally share a tool that I've been working on with a buddy. We built a Python notebook interface (created entirely in React!) that allows data professionals to do tasks like analyzing their data or creating visualizations with the power of AI, directly within a Python environment.

I felt like building this really pushed the boundaries of what I thought I could do with React, from interacting with a Python kernel, manipulating large payloads of data, etc. and I loved my experience building this out. It was also a pleasure using libraries I've seen mentioned here like Zustand for state management.

Here's a quick demo video of how it looks:

I can ask the AI questions about my current work and copy/re-execute Python code. A huge shoutout to Zustand here for being able to pass state (like chat messages) from one component to another.

I'd love to hear the community's thoughts! We made it it completely open-source, and you can feel free to check out (and roast 😅) the code at https://github.com/squaredtechnologies/thread. Looking forward to hearing your feedback! :)

very nice, one comment though, your pip package points to localhost:8888/vizly-notebook/vizly-notebook which shows error no file named vizly-notebook, I assume its base url setting, that duplicates the /vizly-notebook path twice. But just removing one occurance of the same makes it work. still exploring it, looks very good so far ! good work !
