v2.0.0

First public release of DiscourseCopilot, an AI side panel for Discourse forums. It grew out of a summarizer built for a single forum and now works with forums built on Discourse in general.

What you get

• Topic summaries: the original post, how people responded, and the key takeaways, including very long topics.
• Follow-up chat about the topic you're reading.
• Ask the forum: searches the forum, reads the best matches and answers with numbered, clickable sources.
• Bring your own AI: OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Groq, xAI, DeepSeek, or a local Ollama or LM Studio server.
• Works in the background. Activity keeps your summaries, chats and answers, grouped by forum, and Keep saves the ones you want.
• Settings for response language, custom instructions, research depth, pages read per topic, chat context, history retention and favorite models.
• Light and dark mode. No accounts, no analytics: your keys and history stay in your browser.

Note: this version asks for access to all websites. 2.1.0 and later ask one forum at a time, so please use the latest release instead.
