Build and Share AI Apps and Dashboards

The Shiny and Querychat packages let R users build custom AI-based data science tools and then share them as interactive apps. This workshop will show R users how to build these apps and then share them on Posit Connect. Students will:

• Use Positron Assistant to quickly build Quarto reports, dashboards, and Shiny apps
• Try out interactive Leaflet maps (interactive maps) and Datatables (interactive tables)
• Add a chatbot that analyzes and filters data to their app with Querychat
• Use Posit Publisher to publish their AI-Powered App to Posit Connect
• Control access to their app and securely store their AI credentials on Connect
• Launch the Usage Monitor App in the Connect Gallery to monitor their app
• See how Posit’s thought leadership has provided a way to use AI that is safe, reliable, and reproducible.

Participants will code in an environment provided by Posit that "just works" so students can experience the excitement of AI with no installation, setup, or security issues. We will provide a temporary AI API key for students to use on the day of the workshop.
