 `aider` is a command-line chat tool that allows you to write and edit
 code with GPT-4 in the terminal.  You can ask GPT to help you start
-a new project, or to add features to your existing code.

 I used `aider` and GPT-4 to do data analysis of some US Census data.
-I had GPT-4 tell me how to download census data, suggest some hypotheses to test and then write the code to test one and provide a summary and plot of the results.
