Giving the AI of {gtsummary} by @ddsjoberg.bsky.social a try! Starting with AI generated study guide of this package - let's see how much it helps! Do we even still need static cheatsheet anymore? How do we make AI with R package vignette, any good tutorials? #gtsummary #rstats #gt #posit

Supported by my fellowship from the Software Sustainability Institute, this year the rainbowR committee (with the amazing @oberman.bsky.social, @ddsjoberg.bsky.social and @statsrhian.bsky.social) has been working hard to nurture rainbowR and make the community sustainable for the long-term.

Check out the release of {gtsummary} v2.50. My favorite feature is the AI chatbot on the homepage. It does a fantastic job of answering simple and complex questions about the package. (RAG model powered by kapa.ai) 🤖 www.danieldsjoberg.com/gtsummary/in... #rstats #gtsummary #datascience
