AI Bot for bbPress

AI Bot for bbPress integrates seamlessly with your bbPress forums, allowing a configurable AI bot user to participate in discussions. The bot can be triggered by direct mentions (@YourBotUsername) or specific keywords within forum posts, leveraging context from the forum and optionally a remote WordPress site.

Currently uses OpenAI’s ChatGPT API. Future versions will migrate to our AI HTTP Client library to provide multi-provider support (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Grok, OpenRouter) with a unified interface.
