chattr is an R package that provides an interface to large language models (LLMs) directly from RStudio and Positron. It lets you send prompts to an LLM from your script or through a built-in Shiny Gadget app, with a focus on assisting exploratory data analysis tasks.

The package connects to a wide range of LLM providers — including OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, Ollama, and many others — through the ellmer package. It automatically enriches your prompts with context about your current R environment, such as data frame structures and working directory file paths, which helps the model produce responses that follow recommended R best practices. Code returned by the LLM can be copied to your clipboard, pasted into your current script, or opened in a new script, all from within the chat interface.

Github Copilot integration with RStudio, it’s finally here! - posit::conf(2023)

Presented by Tom Mock This talk closes issue #10148, “Github Copilot integration with RStudio”, the most upvoted feature request in RStudio’s history. Code generating AI tools like Github Copilot‚ promise an “AI pair programmer that offers autocomplete-style suggestions as you code”. For the first time, we’ll show a native integration of Copilot into RStudio, helping to build on that promise by providing AI-generated “ghost text” autocompletion with R and other languages. I’ll also provide a comparison of Copilot’s “ghost text” to a chat-style interface in RStudio via the {chattr} package from the Posit MLVerse team. To make the most of these new features, I’ll walk through some examples of how sharing additional context, comments, code, and other “prompt engineering” can help you go from code-generating AI tools that feels like an annoying backseat driver to an experienced copilot. We’ll close with a robust end-to-end example of how these new RStudio integrations and packages can help you be a more productive developer. Presented at Posit Conference, between Sept 19-20 2023, Learn more at posit.co/conference.# Talk Track: Data science infrastructure for your org. Session Code: TALK-1117

GitHub Copilot in Rstudio, it’s finally here!

Thomas Mock, PhD, Workbench Product Manager at Posit PBC. In this webinar, part of a new quarterly R/Med seminar series, Thomas demonstrates how to set up Copilot in RStudio and then provides examples of using it to generate code by providing context and comments. Some key points covered include: How Copilot works by predicting the next token based on context. Tips for using Copilot effectively, like breaking problems down simply, specifically, and using comments. Examples of Copilot generating functions, tests, and repeating tasks. Using other tools like Chatter to ask questions when stuck.
