Description

This short workshop will show you how to enhance your productivity with AI. We will use the free Positron IDE and its integrated AI agents to build and share:

1. Reports with Quarto
2. Dashboards with Quarto
3. Interactive apps with Shiny
4. AI powered apps with QueryChat

We will learn how to share these on Posit Connect, where you can control access to your content, schedule automatic updates, monitor usage, and more.

Together, these activities help demonstrate the benefit of using AI not simply to find answers, but to build auditable and reproducible code trails that generate answers.

Will this workshop be available online after the event, please? Asking from the East Asian timezone.

[jcasman]

@aegerton Yes, it will be posted to the R Consortium YouTube account. There's normally some lag, so it's several days after the event itself.

This looks really interesting, especially the combination of AI with real health data workflows in R. Workshops that go beyond theory and show how to turn analysis into shareable insights are always valuable.

Thank you, @jcasman. Much appreciated.
