Instead of manually copying code between a local terminal and Colab, developers can now dispatch agents to create cells, write and execute Python code, generate visualizations, and manage the full notebook lifecycle in the cloud. Setup requires git, Python, and the uv package manager, plus a short JSON config snippet. The project is open source on GitHub and welcomes community contributions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
