This change introduces a job to summarize topics and cache the results automatically. We provide a setting to control how many topics we'll backfill per hour and what the topic's minimum word count is to qualify.
We'll prioritize topics without summary over outdated ones.
* FEATURE: Fast-track gist regeneration when a hot topic gets a new post
* DEV: Introduce an upsert-like summarize
* FIX: Only enqueue fast-track gist for hot hot hot topics

On very large sites, the rare cache misses for Related Topics can take around 200ms, which affects our p99 metric on the topic page. In order to mitigate this impact, we now have several tools at our disposal.
First, one is to migrate the index embedding type from halfvec to bit and change the related topic query to leverage the new bit index by changing the search algorithm from inner product to Hamming distance. This will reduce our index sizes by 90%, severely reducing the impact of embeddings on our storage. By making the related query a bit smarter, we can have zero impact on recall by using the index to over-capture N*2 results, then re-ordering those N*2 using the full halfvec vectors and taking the top N. The expected impact is to go from 200ms to <20ms for cache misses and from a 2.5GB index to a 250MB index on a large site.
Another tool is migrating our index type from IVFFLAT to HNSW, which can increase the cache misses performance even further, eventually putting us in the under 5ms territory.

This allows custom tools access to uploads and sophisticated searches using embedding.
It introduces:
- A shared front end for listing and uploading files (shared with personas)
- Backend implementation of index.search function within a custom tool.
Custom tools now may search through uploaded files
function invoke(params) {
return index.search(params.query)
}
This means that RAG implementers now may preload tools with knowledge and have high fidelity over
the search.
The search function support
specifying max results
specifying a subset of files to search (from uploads)
Also
- Improved documentation for tools (when creating a tool a preamble explains all the functionality)
- uploads were a bit finicky, fixed an edge case where the UI would not show them as updated
Polymorphic RAG means that we will be able to access RAG fragments both from AiPersona and AiCustomTool
In turn this gives us support for richer RAG implementations.
Previously we waited 1 minute before automatically titling PMs
The new change introduces adding a title immediately after the the
llm replies
Prompt was also modified to include the LLM reply in title suggestion.
This helps situation like:
user: tell me a joke
llm: a very funy joke about horses
Then the title would be "A Funny Horse Joke"
Specs already covered some auto title logic, amended to also
catch the new message bus message we have been sending.
* FIX: we were never reindexing old content
Embedding backfill contains logic for searching for old content
change and then backfilling.
Unfortunately it was excluding all topics that had embedding
unconditionally, leading to no backfill ever happening.
This change adds a test and ensures we backfill.
* over select results, this ensures we will be more likely to find
ai results when filtered
When navigating between topic we were not correctly resetting
internal state for summarization. This leads to a situation where
incorrect summaries can be displayed to users and wrong summaries
can be displayed.
Additionally our controller for grabbing summaries was always
streaming results via message bus, which could be delayed when
sidekiq is overloaded. We now will return the cached summary
right away if it is available direct from REST endpoint.
This allows summary to use the new LLM models and migrates of API key based model selection
Claude 3.5 etc... all work now.

Add support for chat with AI personas
- Allow enabling chat for AI personas that have an associated user
- Add new setting `allow_chat` to AI persona to enable/disable chat
- When a message is created in a DM channel with an allowed AI persona user, schedule a reply job
- AI replies to chat messages using the persona's `max_context_posts` setting to determine context
- Store tool calls and custom prompts used to generate a chat reply on the `ChatMessageCustomPrompt` table
- Add tests for AI chat replies with tools and context
At the moment unlike posts we do not carry tool calls in the context.
No @mention support yet for ai personas in channels, this is future work
Updating the editing model's rag_uploads in the editor component broke multi-file uploading. Instead, we'll keep the uploads in the uploader and update the model when we finish.
This PR also fast-tracks the initial update so we can show feedback to the user quickly, and allows uploading MD files.
Bug reported on https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-persona-upload-support/304049/11
* FEATURE: allow tuning of RAG generation
- change chunking to be token based vs char based (which is more accurate)
- allow control over overlap / tokens per chunk and conversation snippets inserted
- UI to control new settings
* improve ui a bit
* fix various reindex issues
* reduce concurrency
* try ultra low queue ... concurrency 1 is too slow.
This commit uses a new plugin modifier introduced in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/26508
to mark all uploads as _not_ secure in shared PM AI conversations.
This is so images created by the AI bot (or uploaded by the user)
do not end up as broken URLs because of the security requirements
around them.
This relies on the UpdateTopicUploadSecurity job in core as well,
which is fired when an AI conversation is shared or deleted.
* FEATURE: Add metadata support for RAG
You may include non indexed metadata in the RAG document by using
[[metadata ....]]
This information is attached to all the text below and provided to
the retriever.
This allows for RAG to operate within a rich amount of contexts
without getting lost
Also:
- re-implemented chunking algorithm so it streams
- moved indexing to background low priority queue
* Baran gem no longer required.
* tokenizers is on 4.4 ... upgrade it ...
This PR lets you associate uploads to an AI persona, which we'll split and generate embeddings from. When building the system prompt to get a bot reply, we'll do a similarity search followed by a re-ranking (if available). This will let us find the most relevant fragments from the body of knowledge you associated with the persona, resulting in better, more informed responses.
For now, we'll only allow plain-text files, but this will change in the future.
Commits:
* FEATURE: RAG embeddings for the AI Bot
This first commit introduces a UI where admins can upload text files, which we'll store, split into fragments,
and generate embeddings of. In a next commit, we'll use those to give the bot additional information during
conversations.
* Basic asymmetric similarity search to provide guidance in system prompt
* Fix tests and lint
* Apply reranker to fragments
* Uploads filter, css adjustments and file validations
* Add placeholder for rag fragments
* Update annotations
This allows users to share a static page of an AI conversation with
the rest of the world.
By default this feature is disabled, it is enabled by turning on
ai_bot_allow_public_sharing via site settings
Precautions are taken when sharing
1. We make a carbonite copy
2. We minimize work generating page
3. We limit to 100 interactions
4. Many security checks - including disallowing if there is a mix
of users in the PM.
* Bonus commit, large PRs like this PR did not work with github tool
large objects would destroy context

* DEV: improve internal design of ai persona and bug fix
- Fixes bug where OpenAI could not describe images
- Fixes bug where mentionable personas could not be mentioned unless overarching bot was enabled
- Improves internal design of playground and bot to allow better for non "bot" users
- Allow PMs directly to persona users (previously bot user would also have to be in PM)
- Simplify internal code

1. Personas are now optionally mentionable, meaning that you can mention them either from public topics or PMs
- Mentioning from PMs helps "switch" persona mid conversation, meaning if you want to look up sites setting you can invoke the site setting bot, or if you want to generate an image you can invoke dall e
- Mentioning outside of PMs allows you to inject a bot reply in a topic trivially
- We also add the support for max_context_posts this allow you to limit the amount of context you feed in, which can help control costs
2. Add support for a "random picker" tool that can be used to pick random numbers
3. Clean up routing ai_personas -> ai-personas
4. Add Max Context Posts so users can control how much history a persona can consume (this is important for mentionable personas)

The idea is to increase the frequency so we can run with smaller batch sizes.
Big batches cause problems when running backups, so it's better to have shorter but
more frequent jobs.
1. on failure we were queuing a job to generate embeddings, it had the wrong params. This is both fixed and covered in a test.
2. backfill embedding in the order of bumped_at, so newest content is embedded first, cover with a test
3. add a safeguard for hidden site setting that only allows batches of 50k in an embedding job run
Previously old embeddings were updated in a random order, this changes it so we update in a consistent order
* DEV: AI bot migration to the Llm pattern.
We added tool and conversation context support to the Llm service in discourse-ai#366, meaning we met all the conditions to migrate this module.
This PR migrates to the new pattern, meaning adding a new bot now requires minimal effort as long as the service supports it. On top of this, we introduce the concept of a "Playground" to separate the PM-specific bits from the completion, allowing us to use the bot in other contexts like chat in the future. Commands are called tools, and we simplified all the placeholder logic to perform updates in a single place, making the flow more one-wayish.
* Followup fixes based on testing
* Cleanup unused inference code
* FIX: text-based tools could be in the middle of a sentence
* GPT-4-turbo support
* Use new LLM API
Previous to this change we relied on explicit loading for a files in Discourse AI.
This had a few downsides:
- Busywork whenever you add a file (an extra require relative)
- We were not keeping to conventions internally ... some places were OpenAI others are OpenAi
- Autoloader did not work which lead to lots of full application broken reloads when developing.
This moves all of DiscourseAI into a Zeitwerk compatible structure.
It also leaves some minimal amount of manual loading (automation - which is loading into an existing namespace that may or may not be there)
To avoid needing /lib/discourse_ai/... we mount a namespace thus we are able to keep /lib pointed at ::DiscourseAi
Various files were renamed to get around zeitwerk rules and minimize usage of custom inflections
Though we can get custom inflections to work it is not worth it, will require a Discourse core patch which means we create a hard dependency.
