NEXT EDIT SUGGESTIONS
Work as fast as you think.
Next Edit Suggestions (NES) speeds up your coding process by offering targeted code completions as you type. Because NES can see your live R session, its suggestions are specific to what you’re actively working on. It operates in the background, surfacing helpful code for joining tables, updating packages, or anything else you’re working on.
POSIT ASSISTANT
Think deeply. Let Posit Assistant handle the rest.
Code is no longer the bottleneck. With Posit Assistant, your thinking is the only limit. It lives where you work and sees what you see, so you can ask it to instantly visualize complex patterns, reshape gnarly datasets, debug complex errors, or explain how something works, without ever leaving RStudio, Positron, or your terminal.
ZERO DATA RETENTION
Set your data retention preferences
Select models available through Posit AI Pass are backed by a Zero Data Retention agreement with our providers. For all models, you choose whether to opt in to trace data collection at sign-up.

Data Science Lab
Watch a real analysis, raw and unedited.
In this Data Science Lab from February 2026, Hadley Wickham takes a raw TidyTuesday dataset and live-codes an analysis using Posit AI. Watch how Posit Assistant navigates the messy reality of data wrangling, missing values, and plotting syntax in real time.
Bouncing between a chatbot and RStudio feels like the old days of copying and pasting plots into a Word document. And because the chatbot doesn’t know what’s in your R session, it often gives the wrong answer. Posit AI closes the loop by embedding the chatbot in RStudio, letting it see what data and packages you have loaded and run code on your behalf.

Posit Assistant is a specialized data science agent that runs in RStudio, Positron, and the terminal, connecting to your live R and Python sessions to write, debug, and explain code based on the work you’re currently doing. Posit Assistant can be powered by Posit AI Pass or by bringing your own API key from select model providers.
Yes. Posit Assistant is included by default with Positron, a data science IDE by Posit, where you can use it to analyze data in R or Python.
A curated lineup of Claude models and lower-cost open weights models, selected by Posit for data science work.
Select models are covered by a Zero Data Retention agreement with our providers. Across the full model lineup, conversation histories are not stored unless you opt in to data retention at sign-up.
Posit Assistant sees your live data frames, loaded packages, and environment state, instead of just reading and writing files, so it can perform the deep analysis you need to do. And it ships with data-science-specific skills for tidymodels, scikit-learn, Shiny, and Quarto.
