## What it is
Pretzel is an open-source fork of Jupyter Notebooks that adds AI code generation, inline tab completion, sidebar chat, and error fixing while remaining compatible with existing Jupyter configs and extensions. It is installable via pip or usable as a hosted web app, with planned SQL and visual analysis features.

## Use cases
- ai-assisted jupyter notebooks
- generate python code with ai in a notebook
- replace jupyter with a modern alternative
- inline tab completion for data science notebooks
- chat with ai about my notebook code
- sql-based data analysis and dashboards
- fix notebook errors automatically with ai

## When to choose
- you want Jupyter compatibility plus AI code generation and completion
- you do data analysis or visualization in notebooks and want AI assistance
- you want to use your own LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, Groq) in a notebook environment

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable, battle-tested tool with long-term vendor support
- you require features still on the roadmap like realtime collaboration or full SQL IDE support
- AGPLv3 licensing is incompatible with your use case
