What's New in RStudio

Introducing

## Posit AI

A new way to code, explore, and build in RStudio

Posit Assistant is a new, optional AI agent in RStudio, purpose-built for data science.

- Posit Assistant: A conversational agent right inside RStudio that understands your full session context. Ask it to clean data, explore patterns, train models, or even build apps - all within your existing workflow.
- Next Edit Suggestions (NES): Get smart, context-aware code completions that adapt as you type, accelerating your coding without breaking the flow.
- Posit AI is the subscription service that powers Posit Assistant and NES.

Your privacy matters. When you create your account, you choose whether to share your trace data (including prompts and AI responses) to help improve Posit AI. If you opt out, we only retain basic operational data for 30 days, and your prompts and responses are never stored. We have a Zero Data Retention agreement with our model provider, Anthropic, meaning your data is processed to generate a response and immediately deleted.

RStudio itself remains free and open source. Posit AI is an optional subscription starting at $20/month with a free trial. Learn more.

RStudio now bundles Quarto 1.9 with Typst book and article support, along with experimental PDF accessibility standards for both LaTeX and Typst. Read more in the Quarto 1.9 announcement post.

You can now also deploy documents and data applications to Posit Connect Cloud with Push Button support. Posit Connect Cloud is a hosted platform for sharing data assets without managing your own infrastructure. A free plan is available.
