      import openai
    
      openai.api_key = "your_openai_api_key"
    
      response = openai.Completion.create(
          engine="text-davinci-003",
          prompt="Generate a visualization for this dataset: [describe dataset]",
          max_tokens=1000
      )
    
      print(response.choices[0].text.strip())
    

6. Connecting JetBrains IDEs to Kaggle

6.1 Set Up JetBrains IDE
