The default action of the AI bot button is to start a PM with the bot. Although I think it would be great if this was configurable so that the default action is to post a public topic, **I am wondering about the best way for forum _mods_ (not admins) to stay in-the-loop with bot conversations so they can monitor and step in when necessary**.

As a forum admin, I can navigate to the user associated with an Discourse AI persona, then view that bot user’s PMs. There are a few problems with this:

- I don’t get notifications for PMs sent to the bot
- Forum mods don’t have access to PMs of other users

**questions**

- How can members of the staff group on my site monitor the private messages sent to the ai bot on my forum?
- Is it possible to start PMs with a group inbox instead of a PM with the bot?
