Is the shortcut to start AI conversation a user setting or not?

My assessment is that the people that do not want a robot on top divide into 2 groups:

1. People who are deeply offended by the aesthetics of an extra icon in the header.
2. People who see no value in leaning on AI conversation to add productivity to personal workflows on current site.

Regardless of which group people are in, the split … does make me ask the question on “Are we missing a user setting?”

I’m in a third group that might inform a potential user setting.

Here on Meta we have a ton of personas, and the icon-to-PM helps bring up a UI that assists in targeting the correct one of the task.

I do not encounter this issue on any of my other sites.

There I just introduce each persona as the specialized tool it is, and put it behind a group, which I then automate a welcome message to introduce the tool:

Now, I can see at some point building enough useful, functional tools that having a special menu loading on the composer window is helpful.

Two things:

• I think it will be a power user setting, and
• I will want to change the robot head to something else (without CSS-ing the SVG )
