Are you ready to revolutionize the way you interact with your data? With RTutor.ai, you can seamlessly communicate with your datasets using natural language, thanks to the power of AI. In this article, we will guide you step-by-step on how to set up and utilize RTutor, ensuring you’re equipped for effective data analysis!

What is RTutor?

RTutor is an AI-based application that converts your natural language queries into R code, enabling streamlined and efficient data analysis. The magic happens through API calls to OpenAI’s models, which translates your requests into executable R scripts on the Shiny platform. Plus, it can generate R Markdown source files and HTML reports!

Features of RTutor

• GPT-4 is the default model, providing increased accuracy in code generation.
• Generates comprehensive Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) reports.
• Includes a chat window that clarifies code, results, error messages, and statistical concepts, making it a fantastic learning tool.

Installation Steps

To get the most out of RTutor, follow these installation steps meticulously:

1. Ensure you have the latest versions of R and RStudio.
2. Install the RTutor package by executing the following commands in R:

if (!require(remotes)) install.packages(remotes)
library(remotes)
install_github("jcrodriguez1989/heyshiny", dependencies = TRUE)
install_github("gexijin/RTutor")

3. Install any additional R packages needed for your data analysis.

Obtaining an API Key from OpenAI

To utilize RTutor, you must obtain an API key from OpenAI by following these steps:

1. Sign up for a personal account at OpenAI.
2. After logging in, navigate to **Personal**, then **Manage Account**, and **Billing** to set up payment methods and usage limits. A budget of $3-$5 per month is often sufficient.
