Get Started with Positron: A Quick Tour and Community Q&A
Led by Isabella Velásquez at Posit PBC
We're thrilled to have you on board as we continue to explore Positron, Posit's new Integrated Development Environment. Positron is designed to streamline development workflows and reduce context switching for data scientists working with Python, R, and other languages.

In this demo, Isabella Velásquez, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Posit will walk you through a quick tour of Positron with Python.
Over the next two months, our series will dive deeper into key areas:
- AI Agents: Explore Positron’s native AI capabilities, including Positron Assistant for code writing and debugging, and Databot, an experimental data exploration agent that visualizes data and recommends next steps.
- AI Apps: Learn to build, deploy, and scale GenAI-enabled apps quickly and securely with your preferred LLM, using pre-built examples and templates.
