Varbase AI Answers Base (Ask AI)

Adds Ask AI to a site: a public question box that answers in plain language with numbered citations and source cards, from the site's own content only.

The recipe applies Varbase AI Search Base for the vector index, then adds a Varbase Ask AI agent that searches before it answers, cites its sources and replies in the visitor's language; AI Answers settings with feedback on, a one-hour conversation and four turns of history; and the permission for visitors to ask. On a Vartheme BS5 site, an optional Ask AI (cited answers) pattern for Drupal Canvas comes as its own small recipe.

Apply Varbase AI Base and one vector database recipe first, and enable AI Answers before applying. Each question costs one embeddings call and one chat call. AI Search is experimental and AI Answers is in beta. This recipe is an alpha release, not covered by the Drupal security advisory policy. Try it on a development site first.

Best used with Varbase Starter site template.

Can be installed with any Drupal CMS ~2.0 or Drupal Core ~11 site. Even if installed with the Minimal or Standard profile.

However, using it with Varbase gives you way much more cool stuff!
