AskAI v1.0

---

What it does​

Stop answering the same questions in chat. AskAI reads your server's info and replies to players in seconds, right in-game. Teach it about your server once in the config and it handles the rest.

Features​

• Works with any AI provider: Groq, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Cerebras, or a local model. Any OpenAI-compatible API.
• Provider fallback chain: list several, and if one is down or rate-limited it tries the next automatically.
• Answer cache: repeated questions are served instantly and free (no API call), saving you money.
• Smart chat nudge: optionally spots confused players and suggests /ask. Fully tunable and toggleable.
• Per-player cooldown: keep your API spend under control.
• 100% config-driven: every message, color (hex supported), limit, and the AI's personality.
• Lightweight: no database, no dependencies, fully async so it never lags your server.

Commands & Permissions​

• /ask <question>: ask the assistant (askai.use)
• /ask tip on|off: players mute nudges for themselves
• /ask admin reload | cache | testmode | test | status: admin tools (askai.admin)

Compatibility​

Spigot / Paper & forks, 1.16 through 1.21+. Requires Java 17+.

Setup in 60 seconds​

1. Drop the jar in /plugins and start once.
2. Paste a free API key into config.yml (Groq is free and fast).
3. Add a few facts about your server to the system prompt.
4. /ask admin reload and you're done.
