The discussion revolves around integrating a ChatGPT trained AI into a Discourse platform. exlabs wants to create a chat pop-up on the Discourse home page, allowing users to engage with the AI trained on their user manuals. merefield and NateDhaliwal share relevant links from the Discourse meta forum, including building a technical support chatbot and Discourse AI. sam notes that GPTs don’t come with an API and suggests two alternatives: uploading docs to a persona or creating documents on Discourse and using the search tool. The conversation also touches on the potential costs and usage implications. exlabs and merefield exchange positive comments, with merefield offering help if exlabs decides to try the Chatbot feature.
I have tried a few ways to search for this answer but didn’t get many hits. I am sure I am doing something wrong.
I have used ChatGPT 4 “create” GPT and trained it on some of our user manuals. I would like a chat pop-up to appear when people land on our discourse home page, that will let them engage the AI. Is this possible?
GPTs don’t come with an API, there is the assistant API, but it is a bit different and quite expensive
You are able to upload all the docs directly to a persona, but fundamentally you will not be able to offload costs to users like you can for GPTs, so you will be on the hook for usage, if that is acceptable there are 2 alternatives
Upload the docs to a persona
Or, create the documents on Discourse and lean on the search tool
