* 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 pull request makes several improvements and additions to the GitHub-related tools and personas in the `discourse-ai` repository:
1. It adds the `WebBrowser` tool to the `Researcher` persona, allowing the AI to visit web pages, retrieve HTML content, extract the main content, and convert it to plain text.
2. It updates the `GithubFileContent`, `GithubPullRequestDiff`, and `GithubSearchCode` tools to handle HTTP responses more robustly (introducing size limits).
3. It refactors the `send_http_request` method in the `Tool` class to follow redirects when specified, and to read the response body in chunks to avoid memory issues with large responses. (only for WebBrowser)
4. It updates the system prompt for the `Researcher` persona to provide more detailed guidance on when to use Google search vs web browsing, and how to optimize tool usage and reduce redundant requests.
5. It adds a new `web_browser_spec.rb` file with tests for the `WebBrowser` tool, covering various scenarios like handling different HTML structures and following redirects.
This commit adds the ability to enable vision for AI personas, allowing them to understand images that are posted in the conversation.
For personas with vision enabled, any images the user has posted will be resized to be within the configured max_pixels limit, base64 encoded and included in the prompt sent to the AI provider.
The persona editor allows enabling/disabling vision and has a dropdown to select the max supported image size (low, medium, high). Vision is disabled by default.
This initial vision support has been tested and implemented with Anthropic's claude-3 models which accept images in a special format as part of the prompt.
Other integrations will need to be updated to support images.
Several specs were added to test the new functionality at the persona, prompt building and API layers.
- Gemini is omitted, pending API support for Gemini 1.5. Current Gemini bot is not performing well, adding images is unlikely to make it perform any better.
- Open AI is omitted, vision support on GPT-4 it limited in that the API has no tool support when images are enabled so we would need to full back to a different prompting technique, something that would add lots of complexity

Adds support for "name" on functions which can be used for tool calls
For function calls we need to keep track of id/name and previously
we only supported either
Also attempts to improve sql helper
Introduces a new AI Bot persona called 'GitHub Helper' which is specialized in assisting with GitHub-related tasks and questions. It includes the following key changes:
- Implements the GitHub Helper persona class with its system prompt and available tools
- Adds three new AI Bot tools for GitHub interactions:
- github_file_content: Retrieves content of files from a GitHub repository
- github_pull_request_diff: Retrieves the diff for a GitHub pull request
- github_search_code: Searches for code in a GitHub repository
- Updates the AI Bot dialects to support the new GitHub tools
- Implements multiple function calls for standard tool dialect
This provides new support for messages API from Claude.
It is required for latest model access.
Also corrects implementation of function calls.
* Fix message interleving
* fix broken spec
* add new models to automation
* FIX: support multiple tool calls
Prior to this change we had a hard limit of 1 tool call per llm
round trip. This meant you could not google multiple things at
once or perform searches across two tools.
Also:
- Hint when Google stops working
- Log topic_id / post_id when performing completions
* Also track id for title
Persona users are still bots, but we were not properly accounting
for it and share icon was not showing up.
This depends on a core change that adds .topic to transformed posts
This persona searches Discourse Meta for help with Discourse and
points users at relevant posts.
It is somewhat similar to using "Forum Helper" on meta, with the
notable difference that we can not lean on semantic search so using
some prompt engineering we try to keep it simple.
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)

* FEATURE: allow personas to supply top_p and temperature params
Code assistance generally are more focused at a lower temperature
This amends it so SQL Helper runs at 0.2 temperature vs the more
common default across LLMs of 1.0.
Reduced temperature leads to more focused, concise and predictable
answers for the SQL Helper
* fix tests
* This is not perfect, but far better than what we do today
Instead of fishing for
1. Draft sequence
2. Draft body
We skip (2), this means the composer "only" needs 1 http request to
open, we also want to eliminate (1) but it is a bit of a trickier
core change, may figure out how to pull it off (defer it to first draft save)
Value of bot drafts < value of opening bot conversations really fast
* REFACTOR: Represent generic prompts with an Object.
* Adds a bit more validation for clarity
* Rewrite bot title prompt and fix quirk handling

DALL E command accepts an Array as a tool argument, this was not
parsed correctly by the invoker leading to errors generating
images with DALL E
Side quest ... don't use update! it calls validations and will now
fail due to email validation
* 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
Personas now support providing options for commands.
This PR introduces a single option "base_query" for the SearchCommand. When supplied all searches the persona will perform will also include the pre-supplied filter.
This can allow personas to search a subset of the forum (such as documentation)
This system is extensible we can add options to any command trivially.
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.
