Advice on a support bot for a technical support forum (Discourse AI vs Discourse Chatbot)

I set up a test forum for each plugin, Discourse AI and Discourse Chatbot.

The Discourse Chatbot plugin has a step where you create the embeddings which uses the embeddings API from OpenAI. The Discourse AI plugin doesn’t seem to do this (it showed no embeddings activity on the OpenAI dashboard) but it still finds posts on our forum. If it doesn’t generate embeddings to search semantically, how does the Discourse AI plugin search the forum? Does it use regular text search? Does it compute it’s own embeddings?
