XF-Addon AI ForumBot 1.0.2

AI grounded in your community's own knowledge.​

ForumBot gives your XenForo forum a private 1:1 chat for registered members, trained on your community's own content. Members ask questions, explore your forum's subject matter, and get grounded answers without having to post basic questions publicly, saving their higher quality discourse for your forums.

Our simple setup involves less than 10 addon settings, along with a straightforward onboarding process. Integrate as much or as little of your existing content as you like; in either case we should have you live in about 2 days max.
ForumBot is a managed service. You install the free addon, subscribe at forumbot.net, and receive a license key. That key is all you enter in AdminCP.

Setup in three steps:

1. Install the addon from this listing
2. Visit forumbot.net to order your license key, and work with us to provision your account (e.g., content ingestion and agent definition using our XenForo-ready template).
3. Enter your license key in AdminCP, create a bot user account, and enable the features you want. Remember to set usergroup permissions for access (AI chat features are not available to guests).

The license key is the only credential your forum ever needs, unlocking your forum's AI services powered by Xpertloop.ai through Deep Intuition LLC.
These are the ways ForumBot serves your community: private knowledge uplift in chat, admin-driven content in threads, and contextual help available on every post in your forum.

Dedicated chat page
Your forum gets an onsite AI chat page. Members type questions and get answers grounded in your community's content. Guests are prompted to register or log in.

@tag in threads
Staff tag your bot by name in any post. It reads the thread context, consults your KB, and replies automatically in real time.

Robot icon on posts
A small icon appears on every post. Clicking it takes the user to the 1:1 chat room, where the bot reads that post plus prior context and explains it, summarizes it, or answers questions about it (i.e., "explain this post").
Every ForumBot subscription includes content ingestion from your forum. You provide an export and we upload it to your bot's knowledge base. Your bot answers questions with your community's own accumulated wisdom, not just generic AI knowledge.

Data stays on your server. ForumBot sends individual queries to the AI backend for processing, but your forum content, member data, and chat logs never leave your XenForo install.
Most AI addons require a separate account with OpenAI, Anthropic, or another provider, typically $20-50+/month on top of the addon cost. ForumBot is all-in.

$40/month. Cancel anytime (no annual commitment).
The addon is free to download. The subscription is billed separately via Stripe at forumbot.net.
