Feature

We’re excited to announce a powerful new feature now available for testing on Meta: Discourse AI Search discoveries[1]. This feature enhances your search experience by providing AI-generated answers to your queries, making information discovery faster and more intuitive.

What’s New?

Discourse AI Discover delivers immediate, contextual responses to your searches by leveraging our advanced AI systems. Unlike traditional search that merely returns links, this feature directly answers your questions while still providing relevant resources for deeper exploration.

Technology Behind the Feature

Discourse AI Discover is built on our robust Persona system and includes:

Comprehensive RAG Support:

Traditional keyword search

Semantic search using topic embeddings

Google search integration via built-in tools

Text file and PDF content search capabilities

External/federated search through custom tool support

Advanced AI Capabilities:

Compatible with fine-tuned search models

Customizable system prompts and parameters

Adjustable temperature settings

Configurable tool utilization

Improved Discoverability

Based on your valuable feedback about our previous AI HyDE search feature, we’ve integrated this functionality into both quick search and full page search interfaces to ensure you can access these AI-powered answers wherever you search.

Try It Yourself

This feature is currently available for testing here on Meta. If you’d like to implement it on your own Discourse instance, simply:

1. Create a persona in your admin settings

2. Set the hidden setting ai_bot_discover_persona to the ID of your created persona

We’re committed to continuously enhancing your Discourse experience and welcome your feedback on this new search capability.
