Goldnat AI Connect Pro extends the free add-on with write access and forum discovery. Where the free add-on lets an AI agent read your forum, Pro lets it participate in it.
Every tool runs as the connected member. XenForo's own permission system does the enforcement — if a member cannot delete a post through the web interface, an agent connected as that member cannot either. You are not granting the agent power; you are lending it an account.
What this actually looks like
You create an account for the agent — call it Support Bot — and give it whatever permissions you would give a helpful member. Everything below happens under that account, and nothing it does exceeds those permissions.
Nothing happens on its own. The agent has no way to watch your forum or react to it. It acts when you ask it to, from Claude, ChatGPT or whichever assistant you use.
So you might say:
"Someone asked about SSL renewal in the support forum — did we answer this before?"
The agent searches, finds the thread from three years ago, and shows you the answer. If you tell it to, it posts that answer as a reply.
"Read the PDF attached to thread 4210 and summarise it for me."
It reads the document and summarises it. Posting the summary is a separate instruction.
"Which threads got busy this week?"
It tells you. If one has gone off the rails, you can then ask it to lock that thread.
You stay in the loop on every action. The add-on gives your assistant hands; it does not give it initiative.
