Introducing ensure, a new #rstats package for LLM-assisted unit testing in RStudio! Select some code, press a shortcut, and then the helper will stream testing code into the corresponding test file that incorporates context from your project.

Jumping on the #rstats "we're so back" train 🚂

Here's two fun (unrelated) things I scrolled upon tonight:

📊 tinyplot - base R plotting system with grouping, legends, facets, and more 👀 github.com/grantmcdermo...
🔎 openalexR - Clean API access to search OpenAlex docs.ropensci.org/openalexR/ar...

Worst prank *ever*
read_csv <- function(file) { readr::read_csv(file) |> messy::messy()}

Having a hard time focusing on code today. Instead of refreshing news sites, tell me about an R package or function that made your life easier recently?

I finally figured out how group_modify() works, and it's been a game-changer for some nested data madness. #rstats #dataBS

If you’ve been waiting try out LLMs with code, now is the time to do it.

A few things I've been working on lately:

elmer, elmer.tidyverse.org, is a new package to make it easier to work with LLMs (hosted and local) from #rstats. It includes helps for structured data extraction and tool calling, and an easy way to upload a plot. Joint work with Joe Cheng.

I know it's during R/Pharma 😬 so please know it's recorded too!

You can now build a chatbot in shiny in less than 20 lines of code. shinychat and elmer make this much easier than it was even a month ago.

elmer nails LLM abstractions. Go check them out if you haven't already!
library(shiny) ui <- bslib::page_fluid( shinychat::chat_ui("chat") ) server <- function(input, output, session) { chat <- elmer::chat_openai( model = "gpt-4o-mini", system_prompt = "You are a pithy, but helpful assistant." ) observeEvent(input$chat_user_input, { stream <- chat$stream_async(input$chat_user_input) shinychat::chat_append("chat", stream) }) } shinyApp(ui, server)

I had fun giving a talk at #rpharma about how to integrate AI into your shiny apps.
