About
Positron is a free data science IDE from Posit PBC, the creators of RStudio, the tidyverse, and Shiny. It is designed to take you from question to insight to application, with transparent AI assistance and interactive data exploration built in.
Posit Assistant is an AI assistant for data science that connects to your live Python or R sessions and can see your data. It helps you explore, visualize, build, and debug. Interactive Analysis lets you move between the exploratory narrative of a notebook and a persistent, multi-session console for Python, R, SQL, and more. The Data Explorer provides an intuitive, fast, and interactive interface for working with large local or remote datasets.
With Data Apps, you can develop, generate, or preview local apps, APIs, notebooks, or reports, and then publish them with guided deployments. Positron is licensed under the Elastic License 2.0, a source-available license.
