Intelligently R

From natural language interfaces to automated analysis pipelines, we make AI accessible and practical within the R ecosystem.

Our Offer

Supercharge R with AI

RAG and Agentic Tools

We build Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems and agentic workflows that work with your R data pipelines. From document analysis to automated decision-making agents using your R infrastructure.

No-Code AI Workflows

Our blockr.ai framework lets you analyze data using natural language instead of code. Create plots, transform data, and build workflows by describing what you want in plain English.

Local LLMs

We set up local Large Language Models (LLMs) that keep your data on your own servers. Your data stays private, models learn your specific needs, and you avoid ongoing cloud costs.

Open Source

We build and contribute to open source AI tools for R: vector databases like rchroma, natural language interfaces like the ask package, and other tools that make AI work with R.

Custom AI Integration

We specialize in privacy-aware AI solutions using local Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Our solutions keep your data private while providing customized models that understand your domain-specific requirements.

Introducing cheetahR: A Lightning-Fast HTML Table widget for R

R/Tables/htmlWidgets

Say hello to cheetahR — the fastest way to explore massive datasets in R. Now available on CRAN, cheetahR is a high-performance table widget and a modern alternative to {reactable} and {DT}. Built for speed, it lets you interactively explore large datasets with smooth rendering and fully customizable layouts. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with Shiny, making it perfect for powerful, data-heavy dashboards.

Introducing dockViewR 0.1.0: a layout manager for R and Shiny.

Shiny/R

Create fully customizable grid layouts (docks) in seconds to include in interactive R reports with R Markdown or 'Quarto' or in 'shiny' apps . In 'shiny' mode, modify docks by dynamically adding, removing or moving panels or groups of panels from the server function. Choose among 8 stunning themes (dark and light), serialise the state of a dock to restore it later..

R with RAGS: An Introduction to rchroma and ChromaDB

LLM/RAG/R

Large language models (LLMs) are developing rapidly, but they often lack real-time, specific information. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) addresses this by letting LLMs fetch relevant documents during text generation, instead of just using their internal—and potentially outdated— knowledge.

Setting up igraph for success in the next decade

igraph/R

One year ago, a small group of us at cynkra submitted a project proposal to the R Consortium's ISC, which got approved. We are very grateful for this support. In this post we shall explain what the motivation for our project was, what we accomplished... and what we hope to work on next!
