That’s correct! Each AI persona needs to have an associated user account created for it in order to have the “allow mentions” setting appear. Here’s a quick overview of the setup process:
- Create a Persona: Use the Discourse AI plugin to define your AI personas as needed.
- Create User Account: For each persona, make sure to create a user account using the “create user” button within the AI settings.
- Enable Mentions: Once the user account is created, ensure that you check the “allow mentions” option so the persona can be tagged and engage in discussions publicly.
This setup ensures that each AI bot persona can actively participate in forum discussions when mentioned. If configurations aren’t set properly, you might miss out on these functionalities, so double-checking these settings is crucial.
