AI Chat
Tobias Garske, This innovative plugin integrates a powerful chatbot client powered by advanced AI technology. With the ability to save chat histories, it provides continuous and contextualized communication that significantly improves the learning process. The context length can be configured by setting.
The prerequisite for the block_ai_chat is the local_ai_manager. With its help, the chatbot can be used with any language models such as GPT4o, Google Gemini or LLama3.
The “AI Chat Block” can be used flexibly in different display variants: docked on the right for discreet integration, as a modal window for targeted interactions or in full screen mode for an immersive chat experience. This versatility ensures that the chatbot can be seamlessly integrated into different usage scenarios to meet the needs of users.
Whether for technical support, learning assistance or general inquiries, the “AI Chat Block” is available around the clock and provides instant answers. By customizing the AI personality and conversation style, the chatbot can be optimally adapted to the specific requirements of your institution. Experience a new dimension of user interaction with the “AI Chat Block” and take your Moodle platform to the next level.
Release February 2025:
Teachers can define their own personas within the chatbot in courses, with which students can interact. This opens up new possibilities for teaching, as students can, for example, discuss with a historical figure or examine complex issues from different perspectives. Administrators or tenant managers also benefit from this function: They can define personas on the dashboard and thus adapt the chatbot to the specific needs of their organization.

Yes, I was referring to the possibility for teachers to access and review students’ conversations with the chatbot, in order to understand what they asked and how they interacted with the tool. Thank you!

No: The Ai Chat plugin itself does not have a possibility, because it's part of a whole suite of AI plugins. For installing block_ai_chat you will need to install local_ai_manager which is the heart of the AI plugins. It will log all AI requests and also provides a possibility for teachers to see the prompts and responses from all AI interactions - of course also from the AI chat. So...
Yes: You can see all the chat messages of the students as teacher. Easiest way to allow teachers access to the messages is by using and installing the plugin block_ai_control. It allows teachers to control all AI activities inside a course and also has a button to access the "view prompts" feature of local_ai_manager.
Regarding the second question: Currently, the chatbot does not support sending additional context from the course, no. This is a feature we are looking forward to, but are not there yet.
