What Makes SignalPilot Different
Agentic AI
SignalPilot doesn't just autocomplete—it plans multi-step investigations, executes code, and iterates until it finds answers. True autonomous data analysis.
Deep Context
Connect your warehouse, dbt models, Slack, and Jira. SignalPilot understands your entire data stack, not just the current cell.
Privacy First
Privacy mode keeps sensitive data on your machine. No cloud uploads, no data retention—just you and your analysis.
Coming from Jupyter?
SignalPilot is built on top of standard notebook formats. Import your existing .ipynb files and start using AI features immediately. No migration required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use SignalPilot with my existing Jupyter setup?
Yes. SignalPilot works as a VSCode extension alongside your existing Jupyter environment. You can open .ipynb files directly and use AI features immediately.
How does SignalPilot compare on pricing?
SignalPilot Pro is $20/month with a 7-day free trial. Hex and Deepnote have similar or higher pricing, but without the agentic AI capabilities.
What if I need real-time collaboration?
SignalPilot focuses on AI-powered individual productivity. For heavy real-time collaboration, Hex or Deepnote may be better fits—though they lack agentic AI features.
Is SignalPilot secure for enterprise use?
Yes. Privacy mode ensures data stays local. We offer self-hosted deployments, governance hooks, and enterprise security features.
