Frequently Asked Questions

Qualia is a research agent that lives inside a notebook. It can ideate, run experiments, clean data, build visualizations, and train models—all through natural conversation. Think of it as a tireless collaborator that handles the tedious parts of research so you can focus on the interesting questions.

Qualia runs wherever Jupyter does. You chat with it in natural language, and it writes and executes code on your behalf. For larger explorations, Qualia can spawn parallel agents to test multiple hypotheses simultaneously—so you're not stuck waiting on one experiment to finish before starting the next.

Qualia is built for practical research workflows: data cleaning and exploration, feature engineering, model training and evaluation, visualization, and iterative experimentation. It's used by ML engineers, quants, and data scientists who want to move faster without sacrificing rigor.

No. Qualia works on CPU for most tasks. Pro users and above get access to GPU nodes for compute-intensive workloads like training larger models—or integrate with your existing GPU environment.

Most AI coding tools help you write snippets. Qualia is designed for sustained research: it maintains context across long sessions, coordinates parallel experiments, and can run autonomously for hours—training models, testing variations, and surfacing what works. It's a research partner, not just autocomplete.

Yes. Enterprise customers can integrate Qualia with internal tools and codebases. For individual users, Qualia works within your local Jupyter environment and can import any libraries you have installed.

Your data stays in your environment—Qualia runs locally in your Jupyter session. For enterprise customers with stricter requirements, we offer on-prem deployment so your IP never leaves your infrastructure.

The biggest time sink in research is sequential experimentation—you try one thing, wait, check results, then try the next. Qualia eliminates that bottleneck by exploring multiple directions at once. Want to test three different model architectures while also revisiting that featurization choice from last week? Qualia pursues all of them in parallel and reports back what worked.

Yes. Qualia Free gives you chat-based data analysis at no cost. Upgrade when you're ready for parallel agents and autonomous research runs.

Download Qualia and install it in your Jupyter environment. You'll be up and running in a few minutes.
