I’m naming bots, as most of forum do I reckon. Looks like bot’s name must end _bot to get chat ability: johndoe_bot knows how to respond in chat channels johndoe ghosts totally in chat channels Everything else works nicely. Is there something or did I break poor bot? Logs are clean. Edit I was wrong. It answers, but something strange there is. If I use johndoe_bot I get answer right away. But without _bot I have to mention johndoe_bot even it doesn’t exist to get answer from johndoe. And yes, I renamed AI-person first johndoe_bot after I enabled mention/chat. Then I renamed original profile johndoe to johndoe0. Last step was re-rename :squinting_face_with_tongue: johndoe_bot as johndoe. Reason for that was my users know AI-person as johndoe when it arrived. When I enabled mentions and chat new user was created by Discourse AI. De facto those are same AI-person, though. I want to avoid in any cost situation where one must remember different names depending if it is called from PM, chat or post.

No. I renamed that user that was automatic created when I allowed mentions. I created an AI-person and gave an username johndoe I allowed mentions and user something_bot was created for me I renamed something_bot → johndoe_bot because there already was johndoe I renamed johndoe → johndoe0 I renamed johndoe_bot → johndoe What was expected is I have now two users for same persona: johndoe0 (the original johndoe) johndoe (created by allowing mentions and got 2 renaming steps) What was not expected is I can talk to newborn johndoe but it refuses answer unless I mention its earlier name johndoe_bot that does not exist anymore.

Yes I can when I do it privately. I don’t know what happends on public channel. It works even then, because I have strong feeling something is sideways on my forum. I’m very close to delete that problematic persona and all its users and start from the scratch. Something I should do first, I admit that.

This issue disappeared after I changes to GPT-4o — and of course I had rebuilding to get that. I had feeling — because I really don’t know anything how these things work — that this is/was the issue: [IMG_3034] We have actually three participants on PM. When I changed to GPT-4o I didn’t renamed that user as I did earlier. Maybe something went sideways on that process. Anyway. Now it works.

Just to confirm, you renamed the user your created (particularly the username?)

Can you supply some screenshots?
