Tricky … I do want to improve this but we are a bit between a rock and a hard place with such a fix.

The reason I’m trying to use it is because I have this unchecked -

Is there a workaround in that case to start talking to the bot?

I have this sorted per:

https://github.com/discourse/discourse-ai/pull/258

We should have it merges soon and deployed to your site in a day or 2.

Keep in mind the experience is not as great cause you are stuck creating a title for the PM which is annoying.

Great, thanks!

I don’t think it’s a problem - it’s good to have a title to distinguish different conversations.

Absolutely, I just love when the bot creates them, I think the bot does a great job in that department.

@tpetrov closing this off as I confirmed it is fixed, I just kicked off a deploy (hoping I clicked all the right buttons)
