Posit has made several systems available that allow you to use artificial intelligence (AI) agents. This article summarizes some of the early efforts (Databot, Positron Assistant) and explains how these led to the development of Posit Assistant. All of these are freely available, though you may have to make payments to the AI agent that is used with these systems. Positron also markets a product, Posit AI, that (for a $20 monthly fee) will integrate these AI agents.
