Posting with “Meta” since there is not yet any category for forum feedback. I strongly suggest creating one soon in order to avoid cluttering other categories with forum issues, then moving this post there.

The AI bot is open to all authenticated users, but new accounts have a cooling off period before having access to the AI bot functionality.

Also worth noting to everyone, not calling you out, but all AI chatbot messages can be read by our moderator staff, so please do not put any sensitive information, PII, or inappropriate information in the chatbot prompts or threads.

Thank you for explaining this, @RokuNicole.

This and the rest of the new user experience would be useful information to convey to new users, ideally during the onboarding process and in the Guidelines. It would not hurt to improve the bot response, too, since “An error occurred” is as wrong as it is unhelpful, along with a reminder than conversations with the bot are recorded.
The bot deserves a better name than the current LLM used or “AI bot”.

It appears that I am authorised to speak to the bot.

Thanks for the suggestion of changing the name for the bot, I’ve changed it to RokuAIBot for now.

I’ll share the feedback with the Discourse team on the error messaging and try to make it more graceful and verbose to help our developers.
