No code? No problem. Analyze data in your own languages.
Upload your data, ask questions, and get results in seconds!
Also try Chatlize.ai, a more flexible AI platform.
First Time User
Start by watching an 8-min YouTube video!
See GitHub for source code, bug reports, and instructions to install RTutor as an R package. As a small startup, we are open to partnerships with both academia and industry. We can do demos and seminars via Zoom if time permits.
Also try Chatlize.ai, a more general platform for analyzing data through chats. Multiple files with different formats. Python support.
Quick Start:
- Explore the data at the EDA tab first. Then start with simple requests such as distributions, basic plots. Gradually add complexity.
- The default model is now GPT-4o. In the same session, previous questions and code chunks become the context for your new request. For example, you can simply say "Change background color to white" to refine the plot generated by the previous chunk. You can also clean your data step by step.
- To analyze a new dataset, or to start over, click the Reset button first.
- Prepare and clean your data in Excel first. Name columns properly. ChatGPT tries to guess the meaning of column names, even if they are abbrievated.
- RTutor can only analyze traditional statistics data, where rows are observations and columns are variables. For complex data, try https://chatlize.ai.
- Once uploaded, your data is automatically loaded into R as a data frame called df. You do NOT need to ask RTutor to load data. Check if the data types of the columns are correct. Change if needed, especially when numbers are used to code for categories.
- An additional file can be uploaded as df2 to be analyzed together. To use it, you must specify 'df2' in your prompts.
- Use the Q&A box to ask questions about the code, result, or error messages. You can ask for methods to use or develop a plan.
- Before sending your request to OpenAI, we do prompt engineering based on the uploaded data. We add "Generate R code" to the beginning, and append something like "Use the df data frame. Note that highway is numeric, ..." afterward. If you are not using any data (plot a function or simulations), choose "No data" from the Data dropdown.
- By default, we randomly select 5 rows of data and send to OpenAI for enhanced coding results, you can opt out in Settings. Your data is not stored on our web server after the session. If you explain the background of the data and the meaning of the columns, you can ask general questions as if you were asking a clueless statistician.
- Be skeptical. The generated code can be logically wrong even if it produces results without error.
About
RTutor uses OpenAI's powerful large language models to translate natural language into R (or Python) code, which is then excuted. You can request your analysis, just like asking a real person. Upload a data file (CSV, TSV/tab-delimited text files, and Excel) and just analyze it in plain English. Your results can be downloaded as an HTML report in minutes!
NO WARRANTY! Some of the scripts run but may yield incorrect results. Please use the auto-generated code as a starting point for further refinement and validation.
Source code at GitHub, from where you can also find instruction to install RTutor as an R package.
RTutor went viral on LinkedIn, Twitter, Twitter(Physacourses), and Facebook (Carlo Pecoraro).
Originally writen by Steven Ge (Twitter, LinkedIn). Now developed and maintained by Orditus LLC. For feedback, please email ge@orditus.com.

The RTutor website and the source code is free for non-profit organizations ONLY. Licensing is required for commercial use.
For businesses, RTutor can be customized and locally installed to easily gain insights from your data (files, SQL databases, or APIs) at a low cost. We would be happy to discuss licensure.

AI Model
This controls the AI's behavior in choosing among possible answers. A higher sampling temperature makes the AI take more risks, giving different, more creative answers each time. A lower temperature (like 0) makes the AI more cautious, giving more conservative and well-defined solutions, but less variety when repeated.
Use Personal API Key
By default, RTutor uses Azure's OpenAI models which costs us a small fee per request.
If you are a regular user, please toggle the button; and take a few minutes to create a personal API key at OpenAI.
Use Python instead of R for generating code and results.
Allows us to save your requests and the structure of your data (like column names and data types, not the data itself). We can learn from users about creative ways to use AI and it helps in improving unsuccessful results.
Allows us to optimize code output from OpenAI by sending with your prompt a random sample of 5 observations from your data
Some columns contain numbers, but should be treated as categorical values or factors. For example, we sometimes use 1 to label success and 0 for failure. If this is selected, using the default setting, a column is treated as categories when the number of unique values is less than or equal to 5, and less than 5% of the total rows.
