FAQ

Where do these Quarto tips come from? These are interesting tidbits Sharon came across during watching presentations; reading blogs, social media, and documentation; or looking up how to do something.

Who made this app? Technically Sharon Machlis, but in large part this was coded with generative AI 😅 using Google's Gemini 2.5 pro large language model with help from Posit's Shiny Assistant and occasionally Claude Sonnet 3.7 and various ChatGPT models and custom GPTs.

What LLM does this chatbot use? It currently uses OpenAI's gpt-4o-mini, which performed a bit better than Gemini Flash 2.0 and is less expensive than Anthropic's very capable models.

What software does it use? This app uses the R Shiny Web framework and a lot of cool R packages including shiny, shinychat, ragnar, ellmer, and reactable.

Can I see the code behind this? Yes! It's on GitHub at https://github.com/smach/QuartoTips
