I’ve created a custom persona/bot using the [howto](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-ai-persona-editor-for-discourse/286271). After some initial success, it seems to work sporadically. I have yet to identify the root cause. The problem is that no reply is created by the bot, and there is no sign of any error in `/logs`.

What is the next step to try or look for?

How do you generally debug AI personas?

I’ve also noticed that while the information icon (for debug purposes) is properly shown under each bot’s post when interacting in a PM with the AI, there is no such icon in their public posts. Is that correct?
