Easily manage bots in the Discourse admin interface

I am very happy to announce the new “bots” tab in Discourse.

We created a new bots tab which lets admins monitor which bot accounts exist, learn why they exist, and stage new bots (for either workflows or API usage)

We hope this makes it easier for you all to integrate various solutions into Discourse and better understand what bots you have installed.

Will it have an icon after bots’ username to tell users it’s a bot, like mods shields?

Yes :slightly_smiling_face: There’s a little robot icon on the bot’s avatar, rather than after its username like the moderator shield.

Here it is on a post:

And on the user card:

These are screenshots from a local development site. The robot is the default flair for bot accounts; if a bot already has group flair (including AI flair), that takes precedence rather than stacking another icon on top.

:up_arrow: was my via my meta bot, I triggered it :slight_smile: on phone it is hard for me to take screenshots
