Writing code is a slow process especially when you are first learning data science. What if you could speed it up? You can and this is how. In this free R-tip, I share a real case study where I made the working R code for my data analysis in under 30 seconds with ChatGPT.

Today I share how to automate R coding with ChatGPT. Here’s what you’re learning today:
- ChatGPT Prompts: The mistake you’ll make and how to get ChatGPT to write your code correctly.
- 2-Minute Case Study: How I connecte to an API, Downloaded Data, and Visualized on a Map with
ChatGPT. - Bonus: Sneak Peek At My NEW Shiny App that extends this ChatGPT tutorial
Special Announcement: ChatGPT for Data Scientists Part 2 Workshop
What: ChatGPT for Data Scientists Part 2
When: Wednesday May 3rd, 2pm EST
How It Will Help You: Whether you are new to data science or are an expert, ChatGPT is changing the game. There’s a ton of hype. But how can ChatGPT actually help you become a better data scientist and help you stand out in your career? I’ll show you inside my free chatgpt for data scientists workshop.
Why Part 2? In part 1, I focused on the mistakes I was making using chatgpt (super useful). In part 2, I want to share how I’m fixing the mistakes (even more useful).
Price: Does Free sound good?

R-Tips Weekly
This article is part of R-Tips Weekly, a weekly video tutorial that shows you step-by-step how to do common R coding tasks. Pretty cool, right?
Here are the links to get set up. 👇
This Tutorial is Available in Video
I have a companion video tutorial that walks you through how to use chatGPT for this analysis. And, I’m finding that a lot of my students prefer the dialogue that goes along with coding. So check out this video to see me running the code in this tutorial. 👇
ChatGPT: And the Importance of Your Prompts
In my last R-Tip, I showed you how ChatGPT I made a full R Shiny App in under 10-minutes. That was insane!
But, after that R-tip, I felt a bit of a let down.
I began to try more and more complex stuff.
- I failed building high-end Shiny apps.
- I failed doing machine learning and integrating it into apps.
- And I got so frustrated that I even made a learning lab 82: ChatGPT for Data Scientists, where I showed every mistake I made in building a Production Shiny App (including the prompts, the 11 things I needed to fix in a live workshop, plus my debugging process).
But, now I’m 12 weeks into chatGPT and I’ve realized 1 thing…
How important chatgpt prompting is.
Take a look at this prompt. It’s just 2 sentences:
Looks fairly straightforward, but I need to show you why this prompt works (and what mistakes I was making in the last 11 weeks of using ChatGPT).
Chatgpt Prompt Guide (for R users)
The mistake I was making was not being specific enough in directing chatgpt what R code I want it to write for me.
If you look at what I’m doing now…
…I specify:
- Which R Libraries <– always do this
- For this case study I want to know locations of all business types in a certain area:
- Which Business Types
- Which Geographic Location
And it generates the code for me:
Does the code work?
A big problem that data scientists are facing is that chatgpt code isn’t working out of the box.
So let’s test the code. I ran it….
… And, it runs!
But, here’s the problem…
Will your ChatGPT code work?
The answer depends on how well you know the R ecosystem and can specify exactly what you want.
Question: Are you struggling with any of these tasks?
- Writing R code
- Doing business analysis
- Building solutions that company’s want
- Making a project portfolio for yourself
- Making solutions for your company
Then I have a free bonus:
FREE BONUS: Attend My Free Workshop, ChatGPT for Data Scientists Part 2
Inside the workshop I’ll share how I built this Shiny App with ChatGPT (extends this data analysis to an insane production app):
