# Weekly AI Activity Summary on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)

## Overview

This week on the [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) forum, discussions revolved around various aspects of the Discourse AI plugin.

- [AI helper is hiding](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ai-helper-is-hiding/324649?silent=true): A user reported an issue where the AI helper icon was visible but not functioning correctly. The community provided suggestions and troubleshooting steps, leading to a potential solution involving shifting the AI button to the composer toolbar in an upcoming update.

- [Shared AI conversations: bots and how to delete](https://meta.discourse.org/t/shared-ai-conversations-bots-and-how-to-delete/324836?silent=true): The discussion centered around the privacy implications of shared AI conversations and whether search engines like Google can index public links. @sam clarified that indexing is explicitly disallowed for shared public links and provided guidance on deleting and unsharing conversations.

# Weekly AI Activity Summary on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)

## Overview

This week on the Discourse meta forum, discussions around AI capabilities and integrations continued to be a hot topic. The community explored various aspects of the discourse-ai plugin, including its ability to handle long-form content, potential improvements to the AI assistant’s responses, and configuration options for different use cases.

One notable discussion revolved around enabling the AI to better understand and retrieve information from forum topics, potentially through the use of techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). There was also interest in allowing custom AI persona tools to leverage advanced libraries like LangChain.js for more complex workflows and intelligent responses.

Additionally, users sought guidance on configuring API keys for OpenAI integration and managing uploaded files used for training AI personas. The community also discussed the possibility of making the “Related Topics” section powered by AI the default view over the “Suggested Topics” section.

- @Jagster raised a [feature request](https://meta.discourse.org/t/could-every-system-prompt-of-ais-been-editable/327532?silent=true) to allow editing of system prompts for AI explanations, as the current responses often simply copy existing content without expanding on it.

- @MachineScholar proposed [allowing custom AI persona tools to access LangChain.js](https://meta.discourse.org/t/we-need-prompt-chains-allow-custom-ai-persona-tools-to-access-langchain-js-and-or-longer-execution-time/327207?silent=true) for more complex workflows and intelligent responses, or increasing the execution time to accommodate longer prompt chains hosted externally.

- @satonotdead asked about the possibility of [using third-party OpenAI API services](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-api-keys-for-openai/280783/15?silent=true) for embeddings, as they encountered errors when trying to do so.

- @Overgrow reported an [issue with long posts causing errors](https://meta.discourse.org/t/posts-too-long-for-postsentimentanalysis/326532?silent=true) in the PostSentimentAnalysis feature, which @Falco clarified is not part of the discourse-ai plugin.

## Activity

- @sam [implemented support](https://meta.discourse.org/t/support-for-o1-preview-o1-mini/326289/11?silent=true) for the OpenAI o1-preview and o1-mini models in the discourse-ai plugin, allowing general use of the LLM in a persona without tools.

- @sam [explained](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-delete-files-uploaded-for-the-ai-persona/311150/5?silent=true) the process for deleting files uploaded for AI personas, with the option to immediately purge files or follow the default retention period.

- @sam [clarified](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-persona-upload-support/304049/22?silent=true) that all embeddings generated for AI personas and Discourse are stored in the same Postgres database.

# Overview

This week saw a major announcement from Discourse - all AI features are now available on Standard and Business hosting plans, in addition to Enterprise. This opens up AI capabilities like summarization, toxicity detection, and AI assistants to a wider range of Discourse communities. Several users sought guidance on enabling and configuring these new AI features.

Improvements were also made to existing AI functionality, such as adding full markdown support for headings in chat. Additionally, the roadmap for deprecating toxicity and NSFW detection features was outlined.

Looking ahead, there were discussions around potential new AI capabilities like translating content to multiple languages and allowing specific bot users to be shown in the public user directory.
