🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A settings toggle that allows users to completely disable all AI-generated suggestions and conversational features.
  2. A 'minimalist mode' version of the app that strips away social and AI features to focus strictly on data entry.
  3. A user preference survey during onboarding that lets users opt-out of 'coaching' or 'buddy' style interactions.
