Workshop
This workshop provides a targeted and practical view on integrating AI into existing R & Shiny applications to reduce manual effort, improve interpretability, and support better decision‑making. We explore how AI can assist users with data exploration, summaries, and parameter choices, while dashboards retain their critical role in providing structure, context, and repeatability.
