Hi,
I have been dealing with this problem since March 2025 and it is still unresolved.
Related discussion: [talk_bot_ai issue #21](nextcloud/talk_bot_ai#21)

The situation:

  • The Assistant Talk Bot never shows up in the list of bots / conversation settings.

  • I tried again recently, but nothing has changed.

Current environment:

  • Nextcloud AIO: 11.9.0

  • Nextcloud: 31.0.9

  • Assistant Talk Bot: 3.1.2

At this point I am not sure if this is a bug in the Talk Bot app itself or if something needs to be fixed/adjusted inside AIO.
Would it make sense to also involve here, since it might be related to the AIO setup?

Hey, so I tested this and it seems like there are multiple places where you need to configure and set up things. For example it requires the Nextcloud assistant to be configured and working. Also you need to enable the bot for every single room. So in my opinion it is not really end-user friendly and probably someone from the integrations team should have a look to make very clear what steps you need to do in order to make it work…

I am glad for checking this out and sharing your findings :raising_hands:
It really seems like there are quite a few things that need to be aligned before the Talk Bot can actually work.

Would it maybe be possible for someone to put together a simple checklist with all the necessary steps?

I think that could help a lot of people who run into the same issue.

Just to sum up my current situation:

  • I already use OpenAI as the backend

  • The Nextcloud Assistant is configured and works fine

  • The only problem is that the Assistant Talk Bot never shows up in the Talk rooms

Having all the required steps in one place (maybe also noting if there are any AIO-specific adjustments) would make it much clearer what exactly needs to be done.

Hi all,

I’m faced the same issue…. Nextcloud assistant installed, bot created, but unable to add bot to a conversation. Within the conversation settings:

I worked around with a room:

root@nextcloud ~# occ app:list --enabled | grep assist
  - assistant: 2.9.0
root@nextcloud ~# occ talk:bot:list
