I’m setting up Discourse AI on my forum and have an AI Bot/Agent working with Gemini 2.5 Flash via LiteLLM and Google Vertex AI. The bot is working, but I have a problem with its scope. For example, my forum is a business-focused community. If I ask the bot: “Who owns Uber?” it answers the que…

Yeah, after a conversation gets deep and you chain it, you can get it to keep on going. Not a worry for us as we host the models ourselves, so we don’t pay per token anyway.

(This is probably one of those situations where 100% enforcement would cause more inconvenience than benefit. )
