UX of AI Automators module is confusing

Created on 4 December 2024, 18 days ago

Problem/Motivation

When the AI Automators module is enabled, a menu item appears in the AI menu:

This allows configuration of the Automator Chain Type entity type, which when you add and configure one has a tab available on it called "Automator Chain". This is unrelated to the tab called "Automator Chain" that appears on all node content types, which has no link to the Automator Chain Type entity type and actually relates to Automators set up on the fields on the node.

The Automator Chain Type entity type is only used if the AI CK Editor module is enabled or there is custom code utilising the chain somehow. As there are no instructions for using the Automator Chains, this very quickly leads to confusion.

Remaining tasks

The code should be updated to hide all Automator Chain-related pages unless the AI CK Editor module is enabled OR a setting has been set to indicate that a developer needs them to show. The tabs on the Node content types and the Automator Chain Types pages should be renamed to make it clear their functionality, and documentation added to help reduce confusion about how and why you use the module.
