Re: Connecting AI and CMS: Building Websites with AI and Maintaining It in Joomla CMS
I cannot seem to find the Phoca AI Component or the Phoca AI Template. I even used AI to search literally everywhere. Is AI already built-in to Phoca? There is an article about it at https://www.phoca.cz/blog/1382-connecti ... joomla-cms
Thanks, Mike.

Re: Connecting AI and CMS: Building Websites with AI and Maintaining It in Joomla CMS
Hi, this project is currently inactive, it's more complicated, in addition to the component itself, you need to connect to some external model (currently it works with a local Python server and a local AI model, which is unavailable on most PHP servers) and there needs to be some management of scss and js.
So the problematic parts are:
- connecting to AI model on standard webhostings (in our example local model working on local Python/Flask server is used)
- creating CSS and JS from SCSS or JS sources on standard webhostings (Node.js is used in our example which is even hard to run on standard webhostings)
I was looking for support in Joomla core, whether there would be any possibility of some unification, so that it wouldn't be fragmented, but I haven't found any support yet (rather the opposite, there is quite a strong resistance to AI itself).
So the task is to change the form of connecting to the local model to some external service and even here it won't be easy, because we are not dealing with the area of simple prompts and simple answers, those answers are very complex and use a special JSON format so that the data can be processed further and that may not work properly with any external model.
