Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4950

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (remote machine)

What happened?

Hello there, I hope I can get some support for the issue below. Thank you in advance:)

I noticed that the AI responses from the widget embedded in my WordPress website are very simple, while the responses from the AnythingLLM Docker local instance are much more detailed (the local version can reference the knowledge base).
I would like to ask why the widget is unable to reference the knowledge base.

Please note that the widget AI settings are exactly the same as the local AI settings.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

Are you dragging and dropping files into the normal chat window or using the workspace file manager to embed files.
In the main app, we changed how files are used, because most people dont want RAG on simple documents.

The embedder endpoints fundamentally have no difference from the main experience from the amount of context used or the max_tokens of a response or somehow limiting verbosity for the chat embed widget.
