AI-Powered Data Science in Positron
Led by Ryan Johnson at Posit PBC
Here at Posit, we strive to create products where AI works with you, not against you.
In efforts to continue this mission, we are excited to introduce agentic AI capabilities in Positron, our new, free code editor for R and Python, that are designed from the ground up to follow these principles. Positron’s AI capabilities automate the tedious parts of the data science workflow, but always keep you, the expert, in control.
