I have follow the official docs and configured the AI bot. After that I tried testing it but it didn’t work.

I did all the necessary work like enabling the LLM to be selected by AI bot, enable the AI bot for everyone. Config the LLM correctly (the AI summary does work).

You probably have user response api ticked and it is not responses (or vica versa)

Toggle:

And then save and click the test button.

you might as well use responses api for recent open ai models. tick the box and use:

`https://api.openai.com/v1/responses`

look in logs, this is likely going to be auth related `yoursite/logs`

My personal suggestion to get out of doubts try a Gemini model. If you happen to be using cloudflare’s AI gateway, do not!

At first I thought it was the model being a model so I didn’t think much of it… except that today I was checking and turns out the model is replying completely, but something on the UI is just cutting it off. Happens also with automation posts. I did one to do a weekly summary of the forum and it just doesn’t “finish” writing the post. data: {"nonce": "e90626a4a8",…

So the problem is models provided by openAI?

switching to gemini didn’t fix the issue  
Gemini did receive requests (in my Google AI Studio dashboard)

honestly I can not reproduce the issue…

The way it is meant to work is that you have a robot in your sidebar or header, click it and then talk to it:

I don’t know how you have this set up, or what version you are using.

How do you access your chat screen (I see you don’t have the robot icon)? Mine is just a small popup at the bottom of the screen
