✨ AI Assistant
The AI Assistant turns Fren One into a configurable helper for your community: it can answer questions from a knowledge base, follow a chosen personality / persona, and optionally monitor the chat for threads that need attention.
Enable the assistant
- Use
/settings→ 🤖 AI → AI Assistant, or send/ai_assistant - Toggle 🟢 Enabled
- Walk through the inline menu for personality, knowledge, and monitoring
Main building blocks
Personality
Tune how the assistant sounds and behaves. Advanced users can open the persona flow (/persona_create) to build or select custom personas (style, tone, language, etc.).
Knowledge base (/knowledge_base)
Teach the assistant your project facts so it can answer without guessing.
- Add entries from websites, YouTube, PDFs, plain text, X (Twitter) posts, Telegram exports, and more (exact sources depend on your deployment).
- The menu shows knowledge base credits used versus a per-community limit; heavy ingestion consumes credits.
Use Reset KB only when you intentionally want to clear learned material.
Context notes
Optional free-form context the model should keep in mind for your community (announcements, tone guidelines, etc.).
Monitoring
Optional monitoring mode watches for:
- Unanswered questions
- FUD or urgent issues
- Other signals configured in your build
You can pair monitoring with auto-respond (including delay) and dedicated monitor notifications.
Quick questions from members
Members can use /q for short AI questions (subject to cooldown). Scope and behavior follow your assistant configuration and model policy.
Boundaries vs other AI features
| Capability | Role |
|---|---|
| Smart Triggers | Rule-like AI triggers you configure |
| Spam Detection | Moderation-classifier for spam |
| AI Assistant | Helpful answers + KB + optional monitoring |
Best practices
Add your official site, docs, and FAQ to the knowledge base before enabling broad auto-respond.
Treat monitoring as an aid, not a replacement for human moderators during incidents.
Troubleshooting
Commands say premium required?
- Upgrade the community or confirm premium is active for this chat
KB limit reached?
- Remove stale entries or reset strategically; watch the credits line in
/knowledge_base
Assistant answers are off-brand?
- Adjust Personality / persona, tighten Context notes, and add contradictory facts to the KB
