Introducing a docked composer for AI bot conversations

We’re improving AI bot conversations with a new docked composer, designed to make chatting with the bot feel more seamless.

Instead of clicking Reply each time you want to continue the conversation, the composer now stays available at the bottom of the topic. You can type your next message right away, making AI bot conversations feel closer to a continuous chat experience.

What’s changing

  • A persistent composer is shown in AI bot conversations
  • You can continue chatting without repeatedly opening the reply composer
  • The interface is better suited for back-and-forth AI conversations
  • The existing composer experience remains available when the change is disabled

Why we’re making this change

AI bot conversations often involve several quick follow-up questions. The previous reply flow worked, but it added friction to that back-and-forth.

The docked composer keeps the input close at hand so conversations can continue more naturally.

Try it out

This change is currently behind an upcoming changes flag.

Please share any feedback, issues, or questions in this topic. We’re especially interested in hearing how the new composer feels during longer AI bot conversations.

is there any way to suppress the enter as submit? i absolutely hate that feature and i can’t get around it - it is not consistent with the rest of Discourse. i want to submit with the paper-plane icon only.

Samesies. I really hope this becomes an optional setting because I really like communicating with my AI in full sentences and paragraphs, and often with code blocks. To me these AI convos are not chat.

It is possible to change your chat prefs to reverse the default cmd-enter behavior. By default in chat when you press enter you submit the chat message, and when you hold cmd when pressing enter you get line breaks. But then you are slowing yourself down when you are chatting with someone!
