Adding a new Chat Bot when using AI plugin

Product Support

AI-generated summary

Nadeem wants to add a new chatbot to a Discourse hosted enterprise instance, linking it to a third-party LLM hosted on a cloud service. Although the hosting service isn’t natively supported by the AI plugin, Nadeem is attempting to use the Hugging Face integration by inputting their endpoint and key. However, the chatbot appears in the dropdown with a default name format like [en.discourse_ai.ai_bot.bot_names.XXXX]. They are seeking guidance on how to customize the chatbot’s name without modifying plugin source code, hoping the admin interface supports such customization.

I want to add a new “Chat Bot” on discourse hosted enterprise instance, and link it to a “Third” hosted LLM.
My model is hosted on a cloud service, so I have end point and key, and can test using Curl commands, the hosting service is not natively listed in the plugin. So consider this “self” hosting.

I am trying to use the plugin’s support for hugging face hosting by providing my end point and my key and use the “ai hugging face model display name” field - but I as it happens I am not using Hugging face to host, but using something similar.

I am trying to add this model into the Chatbot drop down list.

I have tried to “create” a new bot via the “ai bot enable chat bots” drop down, and anything I create appear shows in the chatbot drop down as " [en.discourse_ai.ai_bot.bot_names.XXXX] where XXXX is the name I provided.

If I use the openai URL and key - then how would I go about changing the chatbot’s name?

I am trying to avoid changing the plugin source code, hoping the plugin supports such customizations from the admin interface.

Any suggestions on best ways to achieve this would be appreacaited.
