Roboweb is an AI assistant designed for exploratory programming. It provides an optimal environment for exploratory programming by embedding OpenAI's ChatGPT in JupyterLab. The tool offers three installation options: Docker, pip, and Kubernetes. Docker is the recommended option and can be installed by running a command that will serve JupyterLab on port 8888 with a link that will be provided on the terminal. Pip installation requires setting up a virtual environment, activating it, installing the Roboweb extension and server, enabling the server extension, and running the JupyterLab. Kubernetes deployment instructions are also provided. To use Roboweb, users need to sign in or create an account which will allow them to keep track of their chats and retrieve them later. Once logged in, users should add their OpenAPI key, which is stored in their browser's local storage and never transmitted to Roboweb's servers. If an error is detected in a code cell, Roboweb will automatically offer to fix it. The tool provides a "Fix detected errors" button that provides instructions on how to fix the error. Overall, Roboweb is a practical AI assistant that supports exploratory programming and helps fix errors with ease. It works seamlessly with JupyterLab and is available through various installation options that can cater to users with different preferences.
