> Are we missing a **user setting** for “bot conversation shortcut”: `header|sidebar|none` ?

I think allowing the user to choose the location is a good idea. Also I suggest adding an option of translucent floating button like the [discourse-chatbot](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-chatbot-now-smarter-than-chatgpt/256652#supports-both-posts-chat-messages-17) plugin.

I think adding a button on the header will make the mobile UI a little cluttered, considering there are already 4 buttons(chat, search, menu, avatar) there. I think the AI bot feature may not need to be accessed so frequently, so adding an option in the topic-creation composer is perhaps better.

IIRC, ~~the only way to use the bot from the official AI plugin is through PM~~ , while the [chatbot plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-chatbot-now-smarter-than-chatgpt/256652) can be triggered by replying to it, or @ mentioning it, which I think could be more convinient.
