I’m finding it very unclear as to how to install and setup AI on a self hosted forum. Is there any more clear step by step guide?

What feature do you want to enable first? And what LLM do you want to use?

First you install the plugin following [Install plugins on a self-hosted site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-plugins-in-discourse/19157) with [GitHub - discourse/discourse-ai: Discourse AI now lives in the discourse/discourse repo · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-ai)
Then you configure an OpenAI LLM as [Configure API Keys for OpenAI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-api-keys-for-openai/280783)
