- ForumBot gives you a bot trained on your forum's own content
Modern forums require AI, without overwhelming the human aspect of your community.
ForumBot gives you a bot trained on your forum's own content: your threads, your terminology, your articles, your community's accumulated knowledge. Less than 10 addon settings. A simple onboarding process. Integrate as much or as little of your existing content as you like.
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:
- Install the addon from this listing
- 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).
- Enter your license key in AdminCP, create a bot user account, and enable the features you want.
@mention 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.
Dedicated chat page
Your forum gets an onsite AI chat page. Members type questions and get answers grounded in your community's content. Guest access supported with a configurable join prompt.
Robot icon on posts
A small icon appears on every post. Click it and the bot reads that post plus prior context and explains it, summarizes it, or answers questions about it.
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.
