Show HN: Whybook, tackling the gap between AI notebooks and human understanding
whybook.devWhybook is a JupyterLab extension, a research prototype that explores how to close the understanding gap in data analysis: the divide between what AI can effortlessly produce and what the analyst can understand without scratching their head for hours.
I built it to explore a few things:
1. how to help analysts stay on top of the analysis when agents can output it faster than they think
2. how much of the sensitive analysis/workflow augmentation can be done using local models on standard machines (targeting 2026 laptops) with only the summaries leaving the computer to be processed by a frontier
3. what interactive computing UI such as Jupyter should offer under assumption that coding is solved by AI, but human understanding is the bottleneck
