🔧 Fix this

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

  1. A settings toggle allowing users to permanently disable AI chatbot prompts within the app interface.
  2. A user-preference survey that lets subscribers opt-out of all experimental or AI-driven features during onboarding.
  3. A 'Zen Mode' setting that strips the UI of all non-essential interactive elements and social features.
