Bantuity Studio Light · Beta

Your research. Your Stata.
An AI that works with both.

Describe the analysis you need in plain language. Copilot writes clear do-files, runs them on your licensed Stata on your computer, and explains the results — without sending your data to the cloud for execution.

Download Bantuity Studio Light (Studio Light) Beta for Copilot and Plotex. Analysis runs on your licensed local Stata. For IDE workflows, see MCP integration.

Bantuity Studio Light (Windows)

Install once. Generate analysis, run it on local Stata, and prepare figures for publication — in one application. Studio Light is currently in Beta.

  1. Download and install Bantuity Studio Light for Windows
  2. Open Copilot (analysis) or Plotex (figures) from the sidebar
  3. Start the local Stata service when you run jobs (requires licensed Stata 17 or later on the same PC)
Download for WindowsRelease notes

Requirements: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), licensed Stata 17+ on the same computer, and internet access for AI generation and interpretation. Stata code always executes locally under your license.

Built for researchers who refuse black boxes

Get help writing and running Stata without giving up your license, your data, or control of every step.

Ask in plain language

Request regressions, survival models, tables, or graphs the way you would ask a colleague. You get readable, commented do-files you can edit before anything runs.

Runs on your Stata

Analysis executes under your licensed local Stata — the same environment you trust today. No mystery cloud runtime.

Everything is reproducible

Prompts, do-files, logs, and interpretations stay in your project so you can audit, share methods, and pick up where you left off.

How it works

  1. Describe — tell Copilot what you want to analyze.
  2. Review — check the generated do-file and explanation before you run it.
  3. Run — execute on your machine via the desktop app Stata service; results and figures return to your workspace.
  4. Polish — open graphs in Plotex for journal themes. Statistics unchanged.

Work from your coding environment

With the optional Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Grok can use the same Copilot projects, datasets, and local Stata runs from inside your IDE.

Install the server

Set up bantuity-mcp on the machine that hosts your coding tool. Full steps are in the setup guide.

Connect your tool

Point the host at the MCP server and start the Stata service in the Bantuity desktop app when you need live runs.

Analyze from the IDE

Upload data, generate do-files, run checks, and recover from errors using the same pipeline as the desktop workspace.

Why local execution matters

Sensitive survey, clinical, or administrative data does not need to leave your machine for Stata to run.

1. Data stays with you

Stata runs on your PC under your license — not in a shared cloud interpreter.

2. Your stack, your packages

Use the Stata edition and community packages you already have. No second cloud license.

3. You stay in the loop

Every do-file is visible before and after it runs. Edit, re-run, and keep a full trail for coauthors and review.

4. Hand off to Plotex

Captured graphs open in Plotex for journal themes and a full Figure Provenance Panel — statistics unchanged.

What you can ask for

From data checks to models and graphs — then send figures to Plotex when you need publication polish.

Describe & clean

describe, summarize, recode, labels, missing data, and exploratory tables.

Models

Linear, logistic, Cox, mixed models, and more — with clear, commented code.

Figures

Scatter, bar, KM, forest, ROC, and margins plots with graph export for Plotex.
