Gists are short AI summaries to help you get a quick overview from topic lists.

Features

  • Auto backfills short summaries of topics
  • Toggleable between compact and expanded (with AI summary) topic views
  • Available for all topic views, i.e - hot, latest, top etc

Enabling Summarize

Prerequisites

You must configure at least one Large Language Model (LLM) from a provider.

To get started you can configure them through the Discourse AI - Large Language Model (LLM) settings page.

Configuration

  1. Go to Admin → Plugins → AI → Settings tab and make sure its enabled (discourse ai enabled)
  2. Set the LLM to be used through ai summarization model
  3. Checkmark ai summarization enabled to enable Summarize

Self-hosters will be required to configure the following

  • ai_summarization_discourse_service_api_endpoint
  • ai_summarization_discourse_service_api_key

Technical FAQ

How do Gists work?

  • The algorithm picks the original post and replies created for topics that are considered hot in the last 20 days by default.

Caveats

  • Summary outputs may not be 100% accurate, so make sure to check any output carefully.

I’m sorry, but I’m self-hosted on my private forum. However, I’ve set this up as it is in the “Configuration” section. But I don’t see:

Self-hosters will be required to configure the following:

ai_summarization_discourse_service_api_endpoint
ai_summarization_discourse_service_api_key

Hey @Aaron_Walsh, Gists are currently only available on Meta and a handful of sites for testing.

Once we do release it more widely, I’ll update the documentation configurations.
