Trouble Configuring AI Persona for DM or Group Chats: Sidi_Codet is having trouble making an AI persona accessible in direct messages or group chats on the forum. Despite following configuration steps, including enabling AI persona in settings, verifying channel permissions, and restarting the forum, they receive an error message saying the persona can't access the channel. Lilly suggests checking if a bot user was created in the persona settings and enabling mentions and chat. However, Sidi_Codet confirms that these settings are already enabled. Lilly further inquires about LLM configuration, which Sidi_Codet confirms is set up. Jagster reveals that AI can only be used in category-based channels or 1:1 with AI, not in private group chats, which is likely the reason for the issue, as acknowledged by Sidi_Codet.

I’m having trouble making the AI persona accessible in direct messages or group chats on the forum. I’ve been trying to configure it to work, but it’s not working. Specifically, I’ve tried the following:

`Configuration steps:

  1. Enabled AI persona in settings
  2. Verified channel permissions
  3. Restarted the forum`

However, I keep getting messages saying the persona can't access the channel, and wasn’t notified. The error below :

did you create a bot user in the persona setting page? then you can enable mentions and chat.

Hi Lilly, yes, I created the bot user in the Persona setting and enabled all those settings as shown above, but it still showing that message.

do you have an LLM configured on the bot? and in the LLM page do you see this?

Sure, here is an image description in a single sentence: This image displays a screenshot of an AI Bot User interface, featuring a blue checkmark icon and text indicating that "Vision enabled" and "Allow AI Bot selector" are both active. (Captioned by AI)

We can’t use AI in private group chats. It works only on channels, that are category based (if group limitations allow it) or 1:1 with AI.

Yes I have LLM Configured, even changed the trust level of those categories that can access this AI Persona making it available for every user’s

Thank you @Jagster, probably the reason why it’s been rejected.
