How to use GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT in RStudio - get setup in less than 5 minutes!

In this video, we learn how to use GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT directly from within RStudio. Specifically, we'll go over all of the setup steps that are required for using 1) the RStudio Copilot integration, and 2) the chattr package which allows you to interact with Large Language Models (LLMs) like the OpenAI models (such as ChatGPT) and LLaMA models. We'll cover all this in just 5 minutes!

Hello Melissa, thanks a lot for sharing this ! I do have chatgpt plus and gpt4, I also generated my api and got the secret key, and when I run the chattr app the chat opens up in the viewer pane, so all gos this far. But when I submut a prompt I get this error even if I do do have gpt4 and chatgpt plus :

Another great video, but to get ChatGPT to work in RStudio, without error, I had to execute these lines:
remotes::install_github("mlverse/chattr", force = TRUE)
chattr::chattr_app()
Could there be something wrong with my setup/configuration?

And also, when the chat is successfully loaded in the viewer window and operates as expected, I can't run code in the source window until I stop chattr. Any clues?

I get permission denied from R studio when I try to setup giyhub and copilot

great work! just one question: is chatter or gptstudios closer trained or instructed for R? Like having a stronger recall to all those packages of R Studios and their documentation? I am unsure to set this up, the browser version of chatgpt (free) is far from okay and checking what is going on (like losing track if we changed the subject a bit, later it cant remember path or file names we talked on for hours or doesnt understand the context anymore) - so is it closer tailored to the world of R studios or just the "regular one"? Sorry i am a beginner and totally overwhelmed :D

Hi, when I give chat a request, I get the following error: "The model `gpt-4o` does not exist or you do not have access to it." and the chat stops working. It won't generate any responses? Any ideas why that might be?

I have a poblem, I did everything and the chat opens in my Rstudio perfectly, however when I type anything and send it, it automatically closes and gives me this message: Message: You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details."
Do you know if this is because I don't have chatGPT plus, or what is the iisue here?

Hi Melissa, Thanks for your video! Instead of receiveing an answer from the chat, I receive the next error message. Do you have any idea on how can i solve it?

HI MELISSA, do you have a video using chattr library? thank you!!

I am currently enrolled in my MSc. One of our courses is Statistics using RStudio. Is it ethical to use Github Copilot in doing my R programming?

[lizou]

I ran into the following error using chattr_app()
Error:
! in callr subprocess.
Caused by error in `req_perform_stream(., function(x) { …`:
! could not find function "req_perform_stream"
Can anyone help? Thanks

hi, Melissa, really love your tutorial. About "How do you link to multiple pages in a single sidebar navigation item? #6319", which I watched from your last year posit-conf, could you please make a tutorial on how to do this? Many thanks.

[QlturalnaMaszyna]

There is no real use case, just some trivial playing with basic ideas. On the end of day one have to prepare something important and meaningful and coppilot will not help with it.

Why did you not include an actual step by video of how to install chattr? That’s the only bit I don’t know and you just tell us ‘go do it’… but without showing us how :( :( :p
