Whybook is a JupyterLab extension that closes the understanding gap in AI-assisted data analysis by letting analysts ask questions by pointing at data and showing every assumption behind results as inspectable chips. It combines template-based and AI-generated code, branchable execution, and sandboxed kernels while keeping notebooks as standard .ipynb files.

Target audience: data scientists, analysts, and researchers using Jupyter notebooks
