# Deepnote

> A collaborative, AI-powered data notebook platform for data analysts, scientists, and engineers to explore data, build dashboards, and automate insights in the cloud.

Deepnote is a cloud-based data workspace that combines notebooks, SQL, AI assistance, and collaboration tools into a single platform. The homepage states it is used by 500,000+ data professionals and is now open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. It positions itself as a modern alternative to Jupyter, Google Colab, and Databricks, with built-in multiplayer editing, AI code generation, and one-click data app publishing.

## What It Is

Deepnote is a collaborative notebook environment designed for data analytics, data engineering, and machine learning workflows. It supports Python, SQL, and R in a single IDE, lets teams build interactive dashboards and data apps without leaving the notebook, and connects to 60+ data sources including Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and Databricks. The platform runs entirely in the cloud, eliminating local environment setup, and offers scheduling, GPU compute, and notebook-as-API deployment out of the box.

## Open-Source Transition

The homepage prominently announces "Deepnote is now open-source!" under the Apache 2.0 license. A quote from the CEO of AlphaSignal on the homepage describes it as "Jupyter, but with SQL, AI, and multiplayer mode, among other handy features." This transition signals a significant product-direction shift, making the core notebook format publicly available while the hosted platform retains commercial tiers.

## AI Capabilities Built Into the Workflow

Deepnote AI is woven throughout the product rather than bolted on as a sidebar:
- **Auto AI**: describe what you want to analyze and Deepnote queries, analyzes, and interprets data automatically
- **Code generation, explanation, refactoring, and debugging** aware of your code context and data stack
- **AI code completion** in Python and SQL
- **Autonomous data agents**: the platform supports building agents that can query, train models, deploy endpoints, and visualize results across multiple notebook cells
- **MCP and Google A2A integration** for connecting agents to external tools
- Enterprise plans support bring-your-own-LLM and access to GPT-5 and Sonnet 4.6

## Collaboration and Deployment Architecture

Deepnote runs notebooks in the cloud with real-time multiplayer editing, inline commenting, and version history. Teams can share work via link or email invite, organize projects in folders, and publish notebooks as white-labeled data apps or dashboards. Compute options range from basic 2 vCPU / 5 GB RAM machines to high-memory (128 GB RAM, 16 vCPU) and GPU (12 GB K80) instances. The platform also supports:
- Scheduled notebook runs (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly)
- Notebook API deployment for model serving
- Spark and Snowpark for terabyte-scale workloads
- VS Code and Cursor integrations for local-to-cloud workflows

## Security and Enterprise Readiness

Deepnote is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA and GDPR compliant. Enterprise features include SSO via SAML or OIDC, SCIM directory sync, role-based access control, permission groups, audit logs, federated warehouse authentication, static IPs, SSH tunnels, and private Docker image support. Deployment options span multi-tenant, single-tenant (managed by Deepnote or self-hosted), and on-premise behind a customer's firewall. The enterprise page notes Deepnote was listed as a Sample Vendor in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Analytics and Business Intelligence for 2024.

## Audience and Adoption Signals

The platform targets data analysts, data scientists, data engineers, and ML engineers, and the homepage claims use at 96 of the top 100 universities. Vendor-published testimonials on the homepage include users from SoundCloud, Gusto, Statsig, and Floryn. The explore gallery covers use cases from NPS analysis and A/B testing to protein visualization, LLM applications, and fraud detection agents, reflecting a broad practitioner audience across fintech, biotech, gaming, and enterprise segments.
