Useful for pandas and data work, copilot-style answers with data context
From 3 comments
This is fantastic and exactly where our team at Shipyard is expecting the data space to go. Context aware, AI driven. Great work on this! We were just talking last week about how…
blakeburch on HNThis is a great demo, OP. I'm wondering about the UX of this vs Copilot. is this basically just a way to get around the fact that you dont have Copilot inside of notebooks? what…
swyx on HNDamn, this looks pretty useful. I was finding that github copilot was really good at reading a CSV file and writing all the imports from that into migrations for DB import, but…

Interesting application of GPT-3
From 1 comment
Great work, and a really interesting application of GPT3. Some time ago I developed Datasloth [1] which might be a nice complementary feature to Sketch. Ping me if you're…

Objections
Sends data or column info to a remote OpenAI API, a privacy concern
From 4 comments
Does using this mean sending all of your potentially private data via an api call to openAI?
jerpint on HNFrom https://github.com/approximatelabs/sketch/blob/main/sketch/pandas_extension.py#LL162 it appears that this library is calling a remote API, which obviates the utility of the…
abrichr on HNRight now, it sends the first five rows of the dataframe:…
marcosfelt on HNIf this is using OpenAI which it seems is what it is using, It is only sending column headers / column names. Not the data. If you are concerned about column names, you could…

From 2 comments
Looks really nice, but I tried it: ``` import sketch import pandas as pd data_pd = pd.read_csv("input.csv", sep=';') print(data_pd) print(data_pd.sketch.ask("Is there any PII in…
tdebroc on HNAh yes it displayed the string, thanks! But the result looks wrong with this input: ``` age address 0 34 106 DOYERS ST. 8 ARLINGTON DR. 599 NW BAY BLVD 1 34 694 Short Street,…

Name clashes with Sketch design software
From 3 comments
Cool project, although the name kinda clashes with the well-known https://www.sketch.com/ in the UI/UX design space
gcatalfamo on HNVery cool demo! Regarding the choice of name, presumably you already know about Sketch, the popular image editing software. I wonder if the image editing guys will in the future…
jonwinstanley on HNThat seems to be a presumption... I just googled "sketch application" or "sketch image editing software" I found sketchpad... alternatively, I found sketch.com, which seems to be…

Chaining queries so prior results give context
From 1 comment
Just played around with this and I think I'll be using it on some research projects! One cool feature would be some sort of chaining, where you could anchor a new query to a…

Support for R or other ecosystems beyond pandas
From 2 comments
Really cool and helpful. Is there anything similar for R?
sean_the_geek on HNDamn, this looks pretty useful. I was finding that github copilot was really good at reading a CSV file and writing all the imports from that into migrations for DB import, but…

Database connection support
From 1 comment
I don't have any experience with pandas. Can this directly connect to a db and run queries there (video seems to load a csv file).

Questions
Does it run locally or send data to a cloud service?
From 2 comments
Does using this mean sending all of your potentially private data via an api call to openAI?
jerpint on HNRelated question: is this done on my machine or do I end up sending possible pii to a cloud service for evaluation?

I use TabNine [0] for local context aware AI suggestions, and I find it spookily good at guessing what I'm half way through typing. Sadly they've left the Sublime plugin to rot…

Very promising. I believe the uses of OpenAI that will stick in the long term are like this, and other tools should be experimenting with this kind of integration. Otherwise,…
