FEATURE: Persona with default extensions selected

[sonphnt]

On the home page, there are 2 sections Extensions and Personas where people can click "Start chat" to start their conversation. If we define more extensions and personas, there might confuse users with a lot of Card panels, and also if we can link those together to make it more sense to the users.

Something like this:

• Persona "Default": You are a helpful AI assistant. No extensions enabled by default.

• Persona "HR Assistant": You are HR manager in my company. If you know something then say Yes, otherwise please dont make up answer. With Default Extension enabled by Admin, and can not be deselected in chat thread. "AI Search Employee Handbook", this will use my "employee-index" on AI Search service.

• Persona "Network Engineer Assistant". that will use my own Rest API that admin can define as an extension, and enable it.

By doing this way, I think the Chat thread UI will be simpler for users, they dont need to worry about selecting a bunch of extensions.

Thanks for the new great upgrade v2

This gets my vote as well. To achieve this while we wait for the feature, I have made the following chage:

And then I manually added the extension ID to the corresponding persona in CosmosDB.

Then, when a user starts a persona chat, the correct extension is automatically set. I also hide the list of extensions on the chat home page to avoid our users from getting confused and picking the wrong thing.

This is a much cleaner way of doing it. This gets my vote as well.

@dpayne-voss That is a good solution for now but while trying your solution, I realized that we might probably get the wrong idea from @thivy by making Persona and Extension isolated.

I am confused now. I tried to log in with 2 different users, Admin, and user.

With admin user, I tried to create 1 Extension to AI Search and published it, Also created 1 Persona. Login with user, on the UI portal, it does not show "Reporting" menu, which is good, but users also see Personas and Extensions menu where they can create their own Persona, so each user can define their own Persona and Extensions, not the one defined by Admin.

But the user also sees the extensions created by Admin without permission to publish but is still able to Save it. This confuses me what is the main purpose of letting users save an extension created by Admin? The user can create extensions as well.

In a nutshell: Admin can NOT see Extensions and Personas created by User. Users can see Extensions from the admin if they are published, but can not see Admin's Personas.
