What Jupyter is | An interactive computing environment that lets you create and share documents (notebooks) containing live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. |
Primary use cases | - Exploratory data analysis - Data visualization - Machine learning experiments and prototyping - Teaching and tutorials - Documentation with runnable code |
Is it a tool for automation? | Not primarily. Jupyter is not designed for production automation or running scheduled tasks. It’s more for interactive, iterative work. Automation can be done but usually outside Jupyter notebooks. |
Relation to Python | Jupyter supports running Python code interactively but also supports many other languages (R, Julia, etc.) via kernels. |
What it provides | - A web-based notebook interface - Ability to mix code, rich text, and visual output in one document - Easy sharing and reproducibility of analyses |
