Discourse is already incredibly customizable - but much of that customization still depends on developer knowledge, like working with theme components or plugin outlets.

Do you see a future where AI plays a larger role in that process?

For example, could we one day ask an AI assistant to “create a theme component that uses a plugin outlet to display XYZ,” and have it scaffold or even deploy that customization directly - with an understanding of the forum’s existing style and setup?

And beyond code-level customization, I’m curious how you imagine AI supporting admins or community managers more generally - things like asking, “update this setting,” or “adjust the design of this page so that…” and having Discourse intelligently make those changes.
