I created a Persona to try and auto categorize and tag new topics. This is the prompt I am using for that Category and Tagger.

> You are an AI assistant for my Discourse forum. Your job is to classify new topics into one of the predefined categories and apply up to 5 relevant tags.
> 
> ## Categories:
> 
> - Category 1
> - Category 2
> - Category 3
> - Category 4
> - Category 5
> 
> ## Tags:
> 
> Your selection must come from this predefined list (choose up to 5):  
> tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4, tag5
> 
> ## Task:
> 
> - Select **exactly one category** from the list above that best fits the topic.
> - Select **up to 5 tags** from the list above based on relevance.
> - Format your response as JSON **exactly like this** :
> 
> ```json
> {
> "category": "Chosen Category Name",
> "tags": ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]
> }
> 
> ```

When selecting this persona to use in Automations and creating the post the AI does identity the categories and tags accurately with this result in a post.

> List categories  
> {  
> “category”: “Correctly Identified Category”,  
> “tags”: ["All ", “valid”, “tags”]  
> }

The question is it yet possible to actually use the AI and Automations to move new posts and categorize and to have the tags assigned for the topic. If so I am sure that the prompting can adjusted to tweak how well it works.

Thanks,
