# [New Feature] GROWI AI (Beta)
In GROWI v7.1.x, the GROWI AI has been newly added with the aim of improving the efficiency of information collection and management in the knowledge base. The GROWI AI is a general term for a group of functions that utilize generative AI, such as the knowledge assistant that has been added this time and the vector search that will be implemented in the future.
The first of the GROWI AI features, Knowledge Assistant, is a function that generates answers based on information in GROWI in response to questions from users in chat format. This allows users to obtain the information they need quickly and efficiently.
Currently, the GROWI AI works with the OpenAI API, and the model used is fixed to GPT-4 (see the additional update information). Future updates are planned to include integration with Azure OpenAI Service, model selection functionality, and even integration with LLMs other than OpenAI. Advanced functions such as vector search are also planned to be added in the future.
For more information, please see label.
# Additional Information for v7.1.2 Release
Starting from v7.1.2, it is now possible to change the model used by the Knowledge Assistant.
- The default value has been changed to
gpt-4o-mini - For more details, please refer to the
OPENAI_CHAT_ASSISTANT_MODELsection on the Environment Variables page.
# For Admin
# [Specification Change] Changing the default value of ACL settings when using AWS S3
TIP
This change applies only to apps that have the Attachment Storage Location setting set to [Owned] AWS
# Background
In the GROWI system up to v7.0.x, when uploading a file to AWS S3 (PutObject operation), ACL: 'public-read' is set for the object.
This was inherited from the Crowi implementation, which was the fork of the system,
and was maintained for a long time for backward compatibility, but will be changed from v7.1.x onwards for security reasons.
Reference for background
# Changes
| Version | Behavior when uploading a file (PutObject operation) |
|---|---|
| v7.0.x or earlier | Request to add object ACL setting ACL: 'public-read' |
| v7.1.x or later | Request not to set object ACL |
# Impact on viewing attachments
You may be unable to access attachments uploaded from very old GROWI systems. Specifically, these are attachments that meet the following criteria:
- Attachments uploaded when using a system prior to v3.3.0
- URLs such as the following written in Markdown
https://${AWS bucket name}.s3.amazonaws.com/attachment/5d091f611fe336003eec5bfd/foobar.jpg
# Recommended settings for v7.1.x and later
- Change the bucket settings as follows according to the official docs: Security best practices for Amazon S3 (opens new window)
- Disable ACLs for S3 bucket
- Block Public Access to S3 bucket
- If the environment variable
S3_OBJECT_ACL=public-readis set for GROWI, change the value toprivateor delete the setting
# Check before upgrading
- Check your GROWI is using [Owned] AWS as the attachment storage location
- Consider measures for attachments that may become inaccessible
- Check the current S3 bucket settings
- Inform GROWI users about the change.
- Consider measures for attachments that may become inaccessible
