Users reported that the AI helper disappeared from the composer after recent Discourse updates, particularly on mobile devices like iPad and iPhone using DiscourseHub or Safari Mobile. Jagster noted it worked on Safari but not DiscourseHub, and later discovered the AI pop-up was hidden behind the composer due to a z-index issue Jagster. Don confirmed the issue affected Android too and linked it to a specific commit, suggesting a mobile view z-index bug. keegan acknowledged the report, credited Don for pinpointing the cause, and confirmed the issue is now fixed via PR #749. The fix resolves visibility on mobile, though broader mobile UI issues (like composer height or navigation) remain noted. Screenshots illustrate the hidden pop-up and desktop workaround Don.
I upgraded recently because of that rebuilding-issue by Dsicourse AI (or what ever it was). After that AI helper disappeared from composer. It show tools for title, category and tags, but that pop-up took a sickday.
Because it happends here and on my forum, and because my settings for AI helper are valid, I would guess something has broken.

This is strange. When I’m using iPad on iPadOS 16.7.8 helper of composer
doesn’t show up with DiscourseHub
does work with Safari
But iPhone with totally fresh 17.6.1 refuses show AI helper in composer totally.
What other devices do or not do… I don’t know. All I know couple days ago AI helper worked without problems. And after that came two fixes to Discourse: that rebuilding error and automatic caption.
That specific one may be fixed relatively easy, perhaps, but this may be part of wide problem how Discourse works on i-devices. And there is several ones, like (again) three visible rows in composer, difficulties browse users, categories etc.
