feat: Show provider information in the UI (#408) by zainabnaseer1164 · Pull Request #483 · nextcloud/assistant

zainabnaseer1164 · 2026-03-02T17:14:33Z

Shows which AI provider will process each task type in the Assistant UI, so users know which provider handles their request.

Hi! Thanks for the PR!

Could you explain a bit more what you did?
Could you provide a screenshot (useful to get an idea of what should be checked/tested)?
Could you sign your commits? You can set a global GPG key for git (see the GPG Introduction section of https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Signing-Your-Work) and then follow the instructions of the failing DCO GitHub action)
Could you generate the OpenAPI specs? (the openapi composer script does that)
Could you move the new provider info in a place where the layout is not affected? Like next to the task type title? Right now it takes a lot of vertical space.
There's something wrong with some characters, can you check that?

Feel free to ask questions if something I said was not clear.

lib/Service/AssistantService.php

 					'optionalInputShapeEnumValues' => [],
 					'optionalInputShapeDefaults' => [],
 					'optionalOutputShape' => [],
+					'optionalOutputShapeEnumValues' => [],


Is that fixing something else?

@julien-nc

It was added only to keep the chatty-llm task type in line with other task types that already have optionalOutputShapeEnumValues. It wasn’t fixing a bug or part of the provider-info feature. The current branch doesn’t add it; only preferredProviderName is added there.

Could you explain a bit more what you did?
Implemented #408: backend adds preferredProviderName per task type; API/OpenAPI expose it.
UI shows it next to the task type title and in the dropdown as “TaskName · ProviderName”.
Also fixed the standalone Assistant page by defaulting contextChatIndexingComplete.

Could you provide a screenshot?
I have attached the screenshot for your reference showing the provide name next to task.

Could you sign your commits?
DCO sign-off has been added to all commits on this branch.

Could you generate the OpenAPI specs?
Openapi.json already includes preferredProviderName in this PR.

Could you move the new provider info next to the task type title?
Provider is shown next to the task type title in the top bar on the same line.

There’s something wrong with some characters – can you check that?
I’ll fix display so apostrophes (e.g. “OpenAI’s”) show correctly instead of wrong one. So I will do it once I get approval from your side.

Thank you for the adjustments!

Openapi.json already includes preferredProviderName in this PR.

But the OpenAPI CI action is still failing because the specs were not generated again so they are out of date.

UI shows it next to the task type title and in the dropdown as “TaskName · ProviderName”.

I think adding the provider name in the dropdown is a bit too much. It is enough to have it in the form title. Wdyt?

I can see it's displayed correctly now, did you fix it already?

So I will do it once I get approval from your side.

Sure if there is still a visual issue, you have my approval to fix it.

src/components/AssistantTextProcessingForm.vue

 							<EditableTextField :initial-text="selectedTaskType.name ?? ''" />
+							<span v-if="selectedTaskType.preferredProviderName"
+								class="session-area__top-bar__provider">
+								{{ t('assistant', 'Provider:') }} {{ selectedTaskType.preferredProviderName }}


Suggested change

{{ t('assistant', 'Provider:') }} {{ selectedTaskType.preferredProviderName }}

{{ t('assistant', 'Provider: {name}', { name: selectedTaskType.preferredProviderName }) }}

Better for RTL languages.
