Hey folks, I've been wondering if ChatGPT can actually open or read .ipynb files directly? Would love to know if there's a simple way to get it to understand the content or code inside those notebooks. Anyone tried this before or got some tips? Thanks!

I've tried uploading the notebook content as plain text to ChatGPT and it can help explain or debug the code, but it can't open the file natively.
I've heard about some tools that convert ipynb to markdown or python scripts which you can then easily share with ChatGPT.
I wish there was a direct way to upload ipynb files for analysis, but for now copying code snippets seems to be the only option.
You can totally feed the JSON content of the ipynb to ChatGPT and ask it to interpret the notebook structure too, not just the code.
