Description

Describe the feature you'd like to request

The Assistant app currently groups many powerful AI features into dropdowns or context menus, which can feel hidden or overwhelming. A more structured layout using dedicated tabs or a side navigation menu would improve accessibility and usability.

Describe the solution you'd like

Create separate navigation tabs or sections for:

  • ✏️ Write in context
  • 📚 Summarize
  • 📰 Create headline
  • 🔇 Change or mute tone
  • 🎨 Generate image with AI

Allow users (admin)( to customize which tools are visible or reorder them based on preferences.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Benefits:

  • Faster access to key features
  • Cleaner interface
  • Easier to use for non-technical users
  • Scalable UI as more features are added

Done means these tools have a clearer tab or side-navigation structure, with visibility and ordering customizable by admins or users as specified.
