AI chatbot for Simple Discussion Board: thread Q&A and moderation help
SleekAI's chatbot reads the topic and reply CPTs registered by Simple Discussion Board plus the plugin's option values, so admins and members get grounded answers about active threads and rules. Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter key.

A discussion board with a built-in helpful answerer
Simple Discussion Board is a lightweight forum plugin that registers a topic CPT and a topic_reply CPT, with rules stored under option keys like db_allow_guest_posting, db_require_approval, and db_email_admin_on_new_topic. A generic chatbot does not see those options, so it cannot tell a visitor whether guests are allowed to post or whether their topic is going through moderation.
SleekAI maps the topic and topic_reply CPTs along with the db_ option keys into the chatbot's system message. The bot can confirm whether a new topic will appear immediately or queue for approval, surface the most recently active threads from the topic CPT, and remind a member of the board rules in the language the admin actually wrote them in the options screen.
Display conditions scope the bot per CPT and per user role, so logged-in members see one persona and guests see a stricter onboarding persona that nudges them to register before posting. Conversation logs include the topic ID, which gives moderators an audit trail tied to real threads.

Features
What SleekAI gives you for Simple Discussion Board
Thread-aware answers
The system message includes the current topic's title, body, and reply count, plus the most recent replies, so the bot can summarise the discussion before a visitor adds another comment without reading the existing replies.
Rule-aware moderation
Map the db_ option values for guest posting, approval requirements, and admin email notifications, and the bot can answer rule questions with the exact wording you configured rather than a stock forum FAQ.
Member vs guest personas
Display conditions on logged-in state and role mean a guest sees an onboarding-focused bot that nudges them to register, while members see a friendlier helper grounded in the same board configuration.
Use cases
Where boards use SleekAI for Simple Discussion Board
Welcoming new members
First-time visitors ask the bot how the board works, whether guests can post, and what the rules are, with answers grounded in the active db_ option values, not a generic explainer.
Reduce moderator pings
Routine questions like is my topic pending approval are deflected by the bot, which reads the approval option and the user's post count from usermeta to give a definite answer.
Surface active threads
Members ask which threads are active this week. The bot reads the topic CPT with reply counts and dates and replies with the real top three on this specific board.
The bigger picture
Why rule-aware AI matters for discussion boards
Simple Discussion Board picks a deliberately small surface area. That keeps the plugin easy to install but also means that anything you customize about how the board works, like whether guests can post or how the approval queue behaves, lives in option flags that the admin set and almost no one else can see. A generic chatbot will happily make up an answer about whether guests are allowed to start topics, and that wrong answer becomes its own moderation problem.
SleekAI changes the dynamic by mapping the topic and topic_reply CPTs and the db_ option keys directly into the chatbot's prompt. Now the bot can quote the actual board rules, tell a guest definitively whether they need to register, and confirm in real time whether a new topic will queue for approval based on the visitor's post count. Pair that with multibot and the same install can run a friendly onboarding bot for guests and a quieter helper for members, both grounded in the same configuration without any extra glue.
Questions
Common questions about SleekAI for Simple Discussion Board
Yes. SleekAI maps any custom post type into the chatbot's system message, including the topic and topic_reply CPTs registered by Simple Discussion Board. Variables resolve at request time, so a brand-new topic posted moments ago shows up in the next answer without any sync layer or background job.
Yes. The Wizard maps any WordPress option key by name. Drop db_allow_guest_posting, db_require_approval, and db_email_admin_on_new_topic into the prompt and the bot can confirm whether guest posting is on, what triggers moderation, and which events email the admin.
You need an account with at least one supported provider. SleekAI works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and OpenRouter, so a small discussion board can run a cheap fast model for short answers. Usage and billing stay on your provider account, not with SleekAI.
Yes. Display conditions cover login state, user role, and URL pattern. The common setup is a stricter onboarding bot for guests that nudges them to register, and a helper bot for logged-in members that answers thread and rule questions from the same data layer.
Yes. If you map the user's post count from wp_usermeta along with the db_require_approval threshold, the bot can compare the two and answer definitively whether the current visitor's next topic will appear immediately or queue for moderation.
Yes. The topic CPT has post_modified and reply count fields you can map into the system message. The bot can then list the top threads by reply count or by recency on the actual board, with real titles, not a generic forum example.
Only the data you map into the system message reaches the model. Stick to public fields like topic titles and reply counts, and no personal information is sent. Conversation logs make the attached context visible if you want to audit what the model saw.
Yes. Conversation logging stores each user message, the assistant reply, the model name, tokens used, and the originating page URL. For a Simple Discussion Board site that URL is usually a topic, which gives moderators direct context when reading the log.
