The Ask AI feature is generating a response title, but the actual response is blank. How can I fix this? For example, when I searched ‘Who is the author of the most recent post?’, it responded with ‘Author of Most Recent Post’, but it actually missed its response. I noticed this after switching the default LLM. Not sure if that’s just a coincidence. Link: https://business.faktout.com/ [image]

I see the issue, some color styles in the theme needed to be adjusted… you should be able to update the theme and see the text now! UX: fix search banner text colors, buttons (#77) main ← ux-buttons-banner-color-fix merged 02:09PM - 15 Sep 26 UTC (UTC) [图片] awesomerobot +12 -4 Reported here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-fix-the-blank-ask-ai-response…/411572/ There were some styles for the search banner that made text white on white in AI responses, this adjusts the scoping a bit to fix it, and also fixes a couple minor button style issues I noticed.

Logs are showing the response correctly but the final output is not appearing in the search box [image] [image] [image] [image]

The answer is in the correct format, and should stream properly, but your ask_ai response is taking a whopping 15.5 seconds. For a site with so few topics, I don’t think this is a good experience. Ask AI has a 20-second deadline for the whole request, including retrieval, so I suspect it is timing out after showing the title and related topics. I’d suggest switching back to the previous model, or using a provider with more consistent response times, to see if the answer appears. That would help confirm whether the request is timing out.

I have already switched back to the previous model (gemini 2.5 flash) but the problem persists with both models. I tried again. This time it took only 10 seconds but the answer didn’t appear. Does it have to do anything with embeddings / semantics? Do I need to reset or clear anything? I’ve never changed the embeddings provider. For some reason, AI functions always had latency on my site. I thought it was due to the cold start problem as the site stays mostly inactive (I’m yet to market it). Is there any setting I need to change? If I change to a different model (grok-4-1-fast-reasoning via Azure), search always times out and even title doesn’t appear [image] . I think some semantics issue is there. See AI log #1146 [image] [image]

Let me show one more test: This time the query took 3.7+0.9 seconds only still Ask AI timed out though logs show the correct response. [image] [image] [image]

This issue is occurring only on desktop (I tried deleting cookies and using two different browsers). No problem on mobile devices.

A desktop-only bug feels peculiar. What browser are you using? Can you try each of these and re-run the “ask” - safe mode at /safe-mode, with themes and theme components disabled full-page Ask AI versus the search dropdown. If only the dropdown fails, that narrows it to the search UI if you’re familiar, try opening the browser console and see if there are any errors if there are no errors, consider opening the Network tab and look for a /message-bus/…/poll result and its “Preview” tab. There should be proper streamed results there are your desktop and mobile on the same Wi-Fi? use the same account and query

Themes are causing the issue. I switched to the Foundation theme to test, and the response is appearing normally. When I switch back to the Mint theme, which is my default, the answer is showing up only when I scroll down a little. Follow-up questions are never appearing, even though I could see the follow-up question in the AI Logs. I’m using Chrome. It doesn’t matter whether I use the same accounts or Wi-Fi on desktop and mobile; the outcome is the same. And the error has nothing to do with my website latency. Now I changed to a much faster AI model. [image] after scrolling down [image]
