Turn your Invision Community into a collaborative project management workspace with Project Boards, a Trello-style application built specifically for IPS 5.
Create projects with customizable columns and manage cards directly from the front end. Cards support descriptions, priorities, due dates, labels, member assignments, ownership, comments, and participant tracking. Cards and columns can be reordered with AJAX-powered drag-and-drop, while several management actions use AJAX and IPS dialogs for a fast, seamless experience.
Projects support different visibility modes, dedicated project teams, and granular participant permissions, giving project owners control over who can create, edit, delete, and move cards, manage columns, and perform other board actions.
Most day-to-day project management is handled entirely from the front end, including cards, columns, assignments, teams and permissions, while administrators retain centralized control through dedicated AdminCP sections for Projects, Columns, Labels and Settings.
Members can also receive inline and email notifications when they are assigned to or unassigned from cards, receive card ownership, or are added to or removed from project teams.
Projects can be cloned, reordered, and marked as completed, preserving completed boards as read-only records.
Whether you're managing development, staff tasks, community projects, content planning, or collaborative workflows, Project Boards brings a familiar Trello-style experience directly into your Invision Community.

This application utilizes OpenAI, Perplexity AI or Google Gemini AI to generate replies to new topics automatically. Replies are processed via a background task (running every 5 minutes) to prevent delays during topic creation. All automated replies are usually written in the same language as the original post, helping to increase engagement and responsiveness across the community.
OpenAI is a leading artificial intelligence platform focused on delivering high-quality, natural, and context-aware responses across a wide range of tasks. It provides advanced language models capable of understanding discussions, generating coherent replies, and assisting with automation in applications such as community platforms, customer support, and content creation. The platform supports multiple languages and integrates easily via API, making it suitable for both real-time interactions and background processing workflows.
Perplexity AI is a paid artificial intelligence platform focused on delivering fast, accurate, and well-sourced answers. It combines large language models with real-time web search to produce clear and concise responses grounded in up-to-date information. Initially, only English is supported, with additional languages planned for future releases.
Google Gemini AI is Google’s generative AI platform, designed to provide high-quality, natural, and context-aware responses. It excels at understanding forum discussions and producing helpful replies efficiently, making it well-suited for automated background processing in community environments.

Turn your community's own knowledge into intelligent, reviewable AI replies.
AI: Knowledge-Based Replies brings Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to Invision Community, combining Anthropic Claude with your own Google Drive knowledge base to generate contextual replies based on information you control.
Unlike a traditional AI auto-reply system, the application retrieves relevant information from your knowledge base for each conversation before asking Claude to generate a response. Generated replies are saved as drafts for your team to review — nothing is automatically published without approval.
Your knowledge base provides the facts. Claude drafts the response. Your team stays in control.
How it works
When a member posts in a configured forum, the application automatically processes the request in the background. Using RAG, it retrieves the most relevant information from your knowledge base, combines it with the existing topic conversation and latest post, and sends that context to Claude.
The generated response becomes a pending draft. Authorized reviewers are notified and can review, approve, or reject it. Once approved, the reply is published using the configured AI member account.
Google Drive Knowledge Base
Connect a Google Drive folder containing your documentation, and the application will synchronize and index its supported documents for use by the RAG system.
The initial synchronization runs in the background, while subsequent synchronizations detect changes and avoid unnecessarily processing unchanged documents. Content removed from the knowledge source is also removed from the local knowledge base.
Synchronization progress can be monitored through the ACP background processes.
Features
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using your own knowledge base
Anthropic Claude integration using the Anthropic Messages API
Google Drive knowledge base synchronization
Retrieves relevant knowledge for each generated response
Uses the existing topic conversation for additional context
Automatic AI draft generation for selected forums
Human review before publishing
Approve or reject generated drafts
Reviewer group permissions
Notifications for pending drafts
Configurable AI member used to publish approved replies
Configurable Claude model
Customizable system prompt
Configurable knowledge and conversation limits
Background processing using Invision Community Tasks and Queues
Incremental knowledge synchronization
Automatic retries when the AI provider temporarily fails to respond
Error logging for troubleshooting
Built for Claude
AI: Knowledge-Based Replies is currently built specifically for Anthropic Claude. It is not a generic multi-provider AI application.
You will need your own Anthropic API account and API key. API usage fees are charged separately by Anthropic and are not included with the application.
Requirements
Invision Community 5 and Forums are required, along with an Anthropic API account and a Google Drive knowledge source.
Because AI generation and knowledge synchronization rely heavily on background Tasks and Queues, running Invision Community tasks via cron is highly recommended.
