Agentic Data Science Pair Programming With marimo pair


Listen Later

How do you add agent skills to your data science workflow? How can a coding agent assist with data wrangling and research? This week on the show, Trevor Manz from marimo joins us to discuss marimo pair.

Trevor is a founding engineer at marimo, where he’s been working on integrating LLM tools with marimo. We discuss the balancing act of building a skill and determining how to give an agent access to all the variables in a notebook. He shares how they built a specialized reactive REPL that eliminates hidden state and allows the agent to continue constructing a reproducible Python program.

We dig into installing and getting started with marimo pair. Trevor also covers several of the tasks an agent can tackle in a data science workflow.
