Maintenance & License

Navigate to Maintenance

Configure automatic cleanup tasks via cron jobs.

Setting	Description
Delete Guest Accounts After (hours)	Auto-delete inactive guests (0 to disable)
Delete Group Chats After (hours)	Auto-delete old group messages (0 to disable)
Delete Private Chats After (hours)	Auto-delete old private messages (0 to disable)

Note: Each maintenance task requires a separate cron job to be configured on your server.

AI Settings

Navigate to General Settings > AI

ChatNet includes built-in AI integration that powers multiple features across the platform. The AI settings page lets you configure providers and assign them to specific tasks.

Supported AI Providers

Provider	API Key Source	Models Reference
OpenAI	platform.openai.com/api-keys	platform.openai.com/docs/models
Anthropic (Claude)	console.anthropic.com/settings/keys	docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models
Google Gemini	aistudio.google.com/apikey	ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models
DeepSeek	platform.deepseek.com/api_keys	api-docs.deepseek.com
Grok (X.AI)	console.x.ai	docs.x.ai/docs/models

Configuring a Provider

Each provider tab includes:

Setting	Description
Status	Enable or disable the provider
API Key	Your API key from the provider (stored securely, masked by default)
Default Model	The model identifier to use (e.g., `gpt-4o`, `claude-sonnet-4-20250514`, `gemini-2.0-flash`)

To set up a provider:

Navigate to the AI settings page
Select the provider tab
Set status to Enabled
Enter your API key
Specify the default model
Click Save

You can enable multiple providers simultaneously. The first active provider (with an API key configured) will be used as the default for tasks that don't have a specific provider assigned.

Task Configuration

Below the provider tabs, the Task Configuration section allows you to assign specific AI providers to individual tasks. Each task can be set to:

Default (First Active Provider) — uses whichever provider is active first
Disabled — turns off AI for this specific task
Specific Provider — routes this task to a chosen provider

Task	Description
Room Description Generation	AI-generated descriptions for chat rooms
Message Rewrite	Allows users to rewrite/rephrase their messages using AI
Conversation Summary	Generates summaries of chat conversations
Content Moderation	AI-powered moderation to flag inappropriate content
Translation	AI-powered translation of interface language files
Chatbot	Powers the AI Chat Bot in rooms (see Bots section)

This flexibility allows you to use different providers for different tasks — for example, a cost-effective model for translation and a more capable model for content moderation.

Bots

Navigate to Chat & Communication > Bots

ChatNet includes an extensible bot framework that allows automated interactions within chat rooms. Bots can greet users, respond to messages, and perform various tasks.

Bot Management

The Bots page shows all registered bots in a list view with their current status. From here you can:

Enable/Disable a bot quickly using the toggle button
Configure a bot by clicking the Configure button to access detailed settings

Bot Configuration

Each bot's configuration page includes:

Setting	Description
Status	Enable or disable the bot globally
Name	The bot's display name
Description	A short description of what the bot does
Configuration Fields	Bot-specific settings (varies per bot)
Room Mode	Controls which rooms the bot is active in (see below)
Room List	Select rooms for whitelist/blacklist mode

Bots operate at two levels:

Global level — the bot must be enabled globally to function
Room level — determined by the Room Mode setting

Room Modes

Mode	Behavior
All Rooms	Bot is active in every room — no per-room selection needed
Whitelist	Bot is active only in the rooms you check
Blacklist	Bot is active in all rooms except the rooms you check

When "All Rooms" is selected the room checkboxes are hidden. Switching to "Whitelist" or "Blacklist" reveals the room list with an appropriate heading ("Enabled Rooms" or "Disabled Rooms").

Built-in Bots

Welcome Bot

Automatically greets users when they join a chat room.

Setting	Description
Welcome Message	The greeting template. Supports `{room_name}` and `{user_name}` placeholders

Default message:Welcome to {room_name}, {user_name}! Feel free to introduce yourself.

The welcome message can be customized per room using room-level overrides — allowing different rooms to have different greeting messages.

AI Chat Bot

Responds to user messages in chat rooms when triggered by a keyword (default: @AI). Uses the configured AI provider to generate contextual responses.

Setting	Description
System Prompt	Instructions that define the bot's personality and behavior
Trigger	The keyword that activates the bot (default: `@AI`)
History Count	Number of recent messages to include as context (0–50)
AI Provider	Override which AI provider this bot uses (optional)

How it works:

A user sends a message containing the trigger keyword (e.g., @AI what is the weather?)
The bot detects the trigger and collects recent chat history for context
An asynchronous request is made to the configured AI provider
The AI response is posted back to the chat room as a message from the bot

The system prompt can be customized per room, allowing the AI bot to have different personalities or expertise areas in different rooms.

Note: The AI Chat Bot requires at least one AI provider to be configured and enabled in the AI Settings. If no provider is assigned in the bot's configuration, it falls back to the global Chatbot task assignment.
