Discourse AI Topic Summary : automated summaries and smart tagging

My team has a discourse forum running on the Discourse hosting service. We currently subscribe to the “business” plan, so my question is: can we use that “Discourse AI Topic Summary” plugin? I am not sure if it is included in our current plan or if we would have to go up to the “enterprise”.

Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome @acorrea :slight_smile:

I’m afraid there is no option to use non-official plugins on the Business tier. You can see all the available ones on the plugins page.

We are working on some official AI plugins currently that we will hope to have more information about soon. :crossed_fingers:

Tired of tagging Topics? Let the AI do it for you! (Relatively intelligently!)

I’ve added EXPERIMENTAL auto-tagging support that will apply tags to your topic based on its content.

Sometimes the AI gets too creative despite the direction we are giving it here , so you can restrict it to the set of existing ones.

you can quickly create a non-admin user for this purpose from the rails console by using:

rake admin:create (don’t give this user admin priviliges!)

(This is a bit of a hacky workaround because the current Discourse “internal API” for tagging currently does not allow you to specify “no new tags”, so the only way of easily preventing this at present is by creating them as a user that does not have that privilege (ie trust level less that min_trust_to_create_tag)

James, you (and others) might be interested in this:

I’m currently experimenting with it and will merge it soon:

  • FEATURE: Adds ability to use ChatGPT (faster and cheaper) inc. GPT-4
  • FEATURE: Adds ability to specify model name so you can specify a custom model name if it exists in Open AI namespace.
  • FEATURE: Add settings to affect style of response

(Just for summaries at this stage, not for Tag determination)

This was mainly prompted by this communication:

So now you can specify the new ChatGPT model (“gpt-3.5-turbo-16k”) in the custom model name and should be able to summarise around… :drum: :drum: :drum:

OK that PR is merged post Production checkout. Let me know if anyone has any problems.

Hi @merefield,

Thanks for the update. I’ll check the changes out.

The new function capability is something we are looking at too. The idea of being able to get consistent structured data back from the api call is very exciting! And who could complain about longer context

To your original point though, use of gpt-3.5-16k is nearly 7x cheaper than using Davinci for this purpose despite the huge increase in context.

I have already seen a “flattening” of my price curve in the last 24 hours.

If I have the chatbot installed, the AIBot - could I set the user to that one and reuse the token from that plugin`?

2 Likes

You can re-use the token, yes, no problem.

The user in this plugin is only used to restrict tag choice … if you re-use the same AIBot user it will likely have rights to create new tags because it will probably have high privilege in order to post everywhere. I’ve not tried it but perhaps you can keep AIBot at a low TL.

If you don’t mind it creating new tags then that’s ok, but results are usually better if you prevent it from doing so.

My AIBot is TL 4

And have admin rights - it seems like…

Will the plugin work on old posts or only new one?

1 Like

Yeah, I’d create or borrow another user who is TL2 use that. Lock their Trust Level. And restrict create new Tags to TL3.

It will work on old Topics … but it is triggered by new Posts.

It is working - but it doesnt read the forum language - the summery is in english.

You’ll likely need to update the prompts and ask it to summarise in your chosen language.

These can be changed in Customize → Text

Ahh the summery it self is in english.

Also seems like I have tagging error issue :S

This is no surprise if you haven’t restricted tag creation as recommended.

I’ve had this working for months and it can be amazingly clever :).

Apologies @frold you were right.

And sorry this took so long to reproduce, focus on and fix, but it should work now with Chat model:

The issue was I was not using the Chat model for tagging until recently … and then it took me some time to notice there was a problem.

That’s not related to this plugin.

This plugin installs fine. I rebuilt with it only this morning.
