How to hide it,so nobody can see it?

For context @Coming it looks like you have a trial business site with us right now Currently, trial sites get default access to ask.discourse.com via chat, hence you see the discourse_ai user in your DMs. It’s supposed to help you get answers to any Discourse-related questions you might have. This user is only shown to site admins, you regular community users wouldn’t see it As Moin has pointed out since it’s an admin user you are unable to delete it. The simplest way would be to either ignore or close out the chat

Welcome to Meta :wave: Which bot do you want to hide?

If you have no intention of using the bot, I supose you could just delete it.

How do you do that? You cannot delete it because it’s an admin, and you cannot revoke its admin permission. [Screenshot_20250105_072725_Firefox]

[image] Moin: :eyes: my test user is able to see it in search Strange, I just created a new non-admin account on my personal hosted Business test site and I don’t see a way to start chatting with the Discourse Helper Bot. It shows nothing when I navigate to chat or try to search for the user. You might have enabled it previously through the What's New experiment?

I didn’t try it in the chat. In my screenshot, I am using the search in the header. Maybe our definition of “users won’t see it” is different. You were talking about the chat, and I was talking about the visibility of the user in general.

Sorry. The reason I said that is because deleting persona users are possible, and even though I have AI Bot enabled, I don’t have that @discourse_ai user.
