Sam does AI Bot support Gemini Flash 2.5?

Hey, you can set your own Custom LLM using their current endpoint, api_key and tweaking the model with your options and parameters.

The initial list probably needs to be updated and it could be more intuitive for new users but you can do what you want, for sure.

Hmm, I have multiple LLM’s configured, trying to get as many of them as possible on 2.5 flash.

I don’t see any way to assign the Helper and AI bot to the Gemini Flash 2.5 LLM. Are you saying I need to go in the edit the assigned LLM (Gemini 1.5 flash) and change the key/endpoints etc to use 2.5 flash?

it’s under the personas

Bedankt, ja, ik ben op dat punt gekomen, ik zie dat sommige personen slechts één optie hebben, maar vreemd genoeg zijn deze voor alle persona’s grijs weergegeven. Ik zie ook geen geconfigureerde tools onder Discourse AI → Tools.

Is er een handleiding voor hoe dit in te stellen?

@RBoy

Is there a guide on how to set this up?

Yep, you can start now here:

@DiscourseHelper

• “Discourse AI - AI bot”
• “AI bot - Personas”
• “AI bot - Custom tools”
• “Discourse AI - Large Language Model (LLM) settings page”

Bedankt, ja, ik heb die eerder doorgenomen (en erover gepost) en ze opnieuw doorgenomen voor updates. Ik kan niets vinden dat verband houdt met mijn bovenstaande vragen, specifiek:

1. Hoe stel ik de AI-bot in om automatisch te reageren op berichten van de OP en alle gebruikers? Zoals ik het begrijp, moet ik de “read”-tool toevoegen aan de persona-configuratie (ik neem aan de AI Helper Persona), maar er is dan geen tool genaamd “read” en de optie voor ingeschakelde tools is grijs. Ik kan geen informatie hierover vinden in de bovenstaande links.
2. Hoe configureer ik de AI-bot om het Gemini 2.5 Flash-model te gebruiken? Er is geen specifieke optie om een model toe te wijzen aan de AI-bot, zoals dat wel het geval is voor de persona’s. Moet ik gewoon het momenteel toegewezen model aan de AI-bot bewerken en het 2.5 Flash laten gebruiken?

Alvast bedankt

Maybe this will help you

Discourse AI - AI triage using Persona

AI triage uses the power of AI Personas to respond to topics intelligently. Please note that this feature requires both the discourse-automation and discourse-ai plugins to function. Use cases Automatic support: Generate intelligent responses to people’s support questions. For example, in a Support category, the persona can use community content for context. A bonus is to have the answers generated through whispers so a responder can first use the suggested answers be…

Perfect, that was what I needed but I’ll answer my questions above for others reference if they’re just getting started.

@RBoy

• How do I setup the AI Bot to automatically respond to posts from the OP and all users. As I understand I need to add the “read” tool to the persona configuration (I’m assuming the AI Helper Persona) but then there’s no tool called “read” and the enabled tools options is greyed out. I can’t seem to find any information about this in the links above.

Enable the Automation plugin first and then create an Automation using the AI Triage how to link above from Moin. Note that if you’re using the built in personas like Forum Helper then you CANNOT adjust the Enabled Tools and Forced Tools settings. If you want to customize those settings then you need to create a new/custom persona. As for the tools, read etc, these are built in tools and you don’t need to create any custom tools to access them, however, they will be available only through custom personas (build in personas will have the options greyed out).

@RBoy

1. How do I configure AI Bot to use the Gemini 2.5 Flash model, there no specific option to assign a model for the AI Bot like there is for the personas. Do I just need to edit the currently assigned model to AI Bot and make it use 2.5 flash?

I realized the AI Bot and Helper are two special agents which they their own assigned LLM models. If I need to change what LLM they are using I need to go into their assigned LLM’s and update the configuration directly in their respective configurations. I cannot create a custom LLM model and then reassign these two agents to use them like one can do with a personas.

Een geweldige functie zou zijn om aangepaste styling van het dropdownmenu van de bot mogelijk te maken, zodat providerlogo’s en subscripttekst voor modelspecifieke parameters kunnen worden opgenomen. voorbeeld:

“(logo provider) modelnaam
256k context | 3B parameters”

Hi!

I’m trying out the AI bot on our forum. Is it possible to limit what the AI bot can read? It’s in all groups automatically and it seems I can’t change that. The question arose because there’s a concern that it can read users PMs. I’m not sure if it even can do that. Thanks!
