AI-Powered Data Science in Positron
summary
Positron is an AI‑ready, multilingual IDE that embeds an AI client and an extension for exploratory data analysis; Positron Assistant makes context‑aware fixes (it spots that gas_prices is null and suggests using weekly_gas_prices, changes labs and date casing), provides inline code edits via Command/Ctrl‑I with an apply‑in‑editor diff, and is model‑agnostic (currently supporting Anthropic). The Databot extension runs a repeated “where loop” that writes and executes R/Python code to explore data (it summarizes a marbles dataset of 256 marble records and auto‑generates Quarto reports).
