## What it is
Livebook is an open-source web application for writing interactive and collaborative Elixir notebooks, mixing Markdown prose with executable code cells and rich visual outputs. It supports Smart cells for no-code tasks, real-time multi-user collaboration, reproducible execution, and integrations with databases, Hugging Face models, and visualization libraries.

## Use cases
- run interactive Elixir notebooks in the browser
- visualize data with charts and tables
- run Hugging Face machine learning models without writing code
- query PostgreSQL or MySQL databases interactively
- collaborate with teammates on the same notebook in real time
- learn Elixir interactively
- debug and introspect a running Elixir production node
- document and share reproducible data workflows as Markdown files

## When to choose
- you work in the Elixir ecosystem and want a Jupyter-like notebook experience
- you need real-time collaborative notebooks with reproducible execution
- you want to run ML models or query databases with minimal code via Smart cells
- you want notebooks stored as version-control-friendly Markdown (.livemd)

## When to avoid
- you primarily work in Python and need the full scientific Python stack (Jupyter is a better fit)
- you need a headless batch pipeline runner rather than an interactive notebook UI
- your team has no Elixir runtime available and cannot install one
