jupyternaut capability to answer questions regarding data

[sqlreport]

Problem

• I would like to load data source and use jupyternaut to ask questions regarding data
• I would like to experiment using https://github.com/Sinaptik-AI/pandas-ai/tree/main/pandasai library and corporate that into jupyternaut interaction

Proposed Solution

• new chat handler that accepts data source parameters
• custom slash command example demonstrating capability https://jupyter-ai.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developers/index.html#custom-slash-commands-in-the-chat-ui

Independently, one user mentioned to me that they would like to be able to include variables names in their message, and that this is one of the critical feature missing in jupyter-ai to make the UX worth it. It feels like:

• the chat handler @ should complete variable names (this would need to be fetched from active kernel; there already is a way to do this in the kernel messaging protocol using the same mechanism as tab-completion)
• information about the variable should be included in the message (jupyter-ai could reuse some of the jupyterlab-variable-inspector code here to get it).

I feel that for jupyter-ai use case the primary usage of @ should be for including variables/files and only secondary for including other users (as this is a less common use-case).

For contents of the variable inspect_request (in IPython implemented with pinfo) which is part of the kernel messaging protocol could be used too. Maybe we could even add an argument to tell it that that it is for machine rather than human consumption.
