AI in Alph

AI is woven into the platform — not bolted on. Generate code, chat about your work, and run autonomous agents, all with context from your notebooks and project files.

​
Models

Three providers, choose per-conversation:
  • Claude (Anthropic)
  • GPT (OpenAI)
  • Gemini (Google)

​
The AI Editor

Every project includes an AI editor — an agent that operates as a pair programmer with full control over your environment. Access: https://runalph.ai/{org}/{project}/ide The agent can:
  • Create and execute notebook cells — write Python, run it, read the output, iterate
  • Create and edit files — scripts, configs, data files, anywhere in your project
  • Debug errors — read tracebacks, fix code, re-run automatically
  • Install packages — run shell commands to set up dependencies
  • Read outputs — interpret plots, dataframes, and errors to decide next steps
Create multiple chats for different tasks. Chats persist across sessions. The agent has full access to your project’s filesystem and kernels — it works like having a developer inside your environment.

​
In Notebooks

​
Generate in a Cell

Press Ctrl/Cmd + K while editing a cell. Describe what you want and the AI writes it, using your notebook’s imports, variables, and prior cells as context.

​
Generate New Cells

ShortcutAction
F / GAI code cell above / below
S / DAI markdown cell above / below
Or click the + AI buttons between cells.

​
Tips

  • Be specific: “histogram of age column with 20 bins” not “make a chart”
  • Use markdown cells to describe your goals — AI reads them for context
  • Iterate: refine your prompt if the first result isn’t right

​
Generators

Beyond notebooks, AI can generate:
  • Python scripts
  • Terminal commands
  • CSV, JSON, HTML, SVG
  • Markdown documentation
  • Images
These are available contextually throughout the platform.
