AI for Data People: Build Real AI Strategies

AI IN POSITRON

Some agents guess. Positron knows.

Your data, variables, and plots are more than just text. They’re the ground truth of your analysis.

By understanding the live state of your R or Python session, including in-memory data, plots, and variables, Positron Assistant provides coding assistance that actually helps for data science and analysis.

Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is often the most time-consuming part of any data project. Databot is a new, experimental agent designed to dramatically speed up this process for experienced R and Python users, driving and documenting every step of analysis under your expert guidance.

BECOME AN AI ENGINEER

If you know R or Python, you can build with AI

The hardest part of building with AI isn’t the prompt, it’s integrating AI with existing models and business logic. Your data teams already know how to do this.

Posit empowers data scientists, analysts, and other data people who code with Python and R to build sophisticated AI applications, transforming themselves into AI engineers.

Our free, open source packages ellmer (for R) and chatlas (for Python) make it easy to define validated models and other code as tools that LLMs can call, so you can combine the communication skills of an LLM with the deterministic reliability of your existing code.

RESPONSIBLE AI

AI that’s responsible by design

Correctness, transparency, and reproducibility are crucial for every data analysis. AI doesn’t change that.

We believe AI can and should be used responsibly.

Trust, but verify. Positron’s agents always provide the executable code behind their actions, allowing you to inspect logic, test output, and validate results - before they influence a decision.

Zero data leakage. We’re designing Positron to use foundational LLMs from inside your governed environment, like AWS and Snowflake.

Reliable results. Posit’s AI tools integrate with Posit Package Manager to ensure the code you (or your AI) writes today will run on the exact same package versions tomorrow.

CUSTOMERS

Trusted for analysis

Equip your data team with AI tools that deliver real results.

“Today, we use Posit like our AI orchestration system. This is a system where we can deploy and provision access to the AI workflow solutions we build.”

Jay Timmerman

Director of AI Service Delivery, Biogen
“Historically, contractors manage jobsite safety based on lagging indicators and adjust their process in response. We knew we could do better. By leveraging data, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, we decided to proactively identify where risk exists on our projects and how we can eliminate that risk.”

Matt Swaim, J.D.

EVP National Operations/Environmental Health & Safety, Suffolk
"The combination of AWS and Posit has transformed our analytics organization from a traditional reporting function into an AI-powered innovation engine."

David Meza

Head of Analytics - OCHCO and Branch Chief People Analytics, NASA

An illustration shows a friendly cartoon bear dressed as a pediatrician, wearing a teal scrub top and cap, and holding a stethoscope. The bear is inside a hexagon-shaped emblem with a red dashed outline. Behind the bear are red lines representing a heartbeat. Below the bear, the word "vitals" is written in black lowercase letters on a white banner. The entire emblem is set against a teal background with subtle, light gray, vertical lines in the lower portion, resembling a sound wave or data visualization.
