Description
Describe the feature you'd like to request
Problem:
The chat with assistant feature can be disruptive for certain workflows because the assistant completely blocks the current app UI
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to be able to access the chat with AI functionality from an overlaying and non-blocking draggable window. That way, Alice can continue her work in after asking a question to the assistant in the chat.
This feature could be triggered by a keyboard shortcut, and/or by having a minimize button in the assistant view. This micro-chat view could in turn have a maximise button to invoke the full size assistant.
Quick, non legally binding mock up only for illustrative purposes:
Competitive analisys
This is a feature that several competitors already offer. They all have their main big chat UI, but they also offer the micro chat, which I assume ends up being the main entry point for many users.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing chat with assistant and assistant view entry points. Review how the current full-size chat is opened, then define the draggable, resizable, non-blocking behavior, keyboard shortcut or minimize entry, and maximize path; done means the micro-chat supports the requested workflow without blocking the app UI.
