Scelo IDE¶
Scelo is a desktop workbench for actuaries. It takes you from raw data to board-pack-ready results in one place, with a bundled Python and R runtime, the actuarial stack (lifelib, chainladder, climada, and more), and AI co-pilots scoped to each stage of the work. It runs fully offline once installed.

-
Soft Data
Load a CSV / Parquet, inspect every column, clean and reshape it by click or by chat.
-
Tools
Pick the right actuarial models, or let Scelo suggest them for your dataset's shape and domain.
-
Hard Data
Run the models, read the results on a canvas, and export a printable board-pack PDF.
-
The swarm
Convene a multi-agent council to pressure-test a forecast, and simulate a population's response to a scenario.
What makes Scelo different¶
- Offline + private. The bundled Python/R runtime and a local LLM (Ollama) mean your client data never has to leave the machine. Hosted AI providers are opt-in.
- A pipeline, not a pile of scripts. Soft data → tools → hard data is a guided flow where each stage carries its own scoped AI assistant.
- Two surfaces in one app. A guided pipeline for the analysis, and a full VS Code-style workspace (editor, terminal, Git, search) for when you want to drop into code.
- Reproducible. Every action you take can be exported as a runnable Python, R, or C++ script.
