Is there any built-in chatbot or conversational assistant available in Discourse?

See Discourse AI - AI bot which uses personal messages to communicate.

For actual chat:

  • There’s @merefield 's excellent Chatbot plugin

  • Also, we’ve built an external service that connects to the Discourse API and handles chats, then at the backend it uses an LLM and can do RAG on content in selected private or public categories. You can see it in action on for instance https://swapd.co/
