The partners at cynkra respond quickly to our requests, and the maintenance of the environment is very smooth. Additionally, the cynkra team very patiently answered our R-packaging related questions.
Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)
With Posit Workbench, we now have a centralized solution where everyone works with the same basic settings, which makes our work more reproducible and allows better collaboration within the teams.
Statistical Office of the Canton of Zurich
We thought we were efficiently organized, but it was before we met and hired Christoph. He discovered a whole lot of room for improvement in the way the Swiss QNA were compiled and calculated.

cynkra has been consulting for DuckDB Labs on R-related projects for over two years now. We are very impressed by the depth of their technical knowledge on the language, their deep integration into the package ecosystem and envelope-pushing regarding automation.
Hannes Mühleisen
DuckDB Labs
I am a Senior Computational Biologist who has been coding in R for over 20 years. Since 5 years I have been hiring Kirill Müller to work with me on select projects. Our interactions are fun and highly productive and he continues to teach me to become a much better programmer.
Joseph Thorley
Poisson Consulting
cynkra has collaborated with our research group in 2022 in the realization of an R-package integrating external libraries. They delivered a robust and reliable solution within the agreed time frame. What I appreciated most was their availability to answer questions and provide feedback even after the conclusion of the project.

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by letting LLMs fetch relevant documents during text generation, instead of just using their internal—and potentially outdated— knowledge.
