This is a perfect solution for countless organizations who run a Discourse instance. Furthermore, the AI plugin could get a global setting to allow/disallow document uploads to personas and the admin panel could get a new tab with some settings for chunking size, number of results, etc. which can be global or per-LLM. As you mentioned, it seems like much or even most of the code infrastructure already exists for this feature. > [@Discourse AI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai/259214/187): > > I personally work with many people who can’t really use any AI in their work (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc) because of privacy and other concerns. They also don’t have and can’t afford dedicated AI engineers to build a custom solution, nor are they technical individuals themselves. So I see a very large market gap here for small and medium businesses/organizations, where Discourse AI is the perfect solution. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/upload-and-discuss-pdfs-in-composer/347542)._
