ChatGPT Assistant Integration

AI-generated summary

The discussion centers on integrating AI assistants into Discourse, clarifying that while plugins like Discourse AI and Discourse Chatbot are often called ā€œChatGPT,ā€ they actually use OpenAI’s GPT LLMs rather than the ChatGPT web product. pfaffman and merefield point this out, while Jagster notes that while full OpenAI Assistant integration may not yet be feasible, functional chatbot-style AI is available through multiple plugins, each with different strengths. Lilly shares a detailed breakdown from LolaBot outlining Discourse AI’s modules: Embeddings (semantic search), Toxicity (content flagging), NSFW (image filtering), Periodic Summary Reports (automated analytics), and AI Bot (multi-model generative AI support). JammyDodger adds that the AI Helper, Summarisation, and Sentiment modules further enhance moderation and user experience, complementing Toxicity and NSFW features. Users report using multiple plugins together for synergistic benefits, and there’s a hopeful call for developers to avoid technical conflicts despite product competition.

Has anyone got it figured out?

I’d say so: Discourse AI

(btw technically neither of these plugins are ā€œChatGPTā€ as that name refers to their web product. These plugins leverage the OpenAI GPT LLMs)

If that is matter of assistant as OpenAI it defines as a service it is AFAIK impossible, for now anyway.

But if it is meaning ā€digital assistant that works as a chatbot doing various thingsā€ then there is those two options.

I’m using both of them. These are a bit different solutions aiming different targets and I would say even both have some pros and cons using both gives result where 1+1 is more than 2.

So… I’m heading toward off topic, again, but I really hope that even those two are competive products you guys can be that much co-operative that you can avoid technical conflicts.

I asked my Assistant

The AI Helper and Summarisation modules are quite useful too. :+1: And Sentiment also compliments the Toxicity and NSFW modules.
