# Bug Report — c54f0bfa3c3a

**16 issues** in 355.0s of footage.

## Summary

The user is testing an AI chat application named Athena. The review covers the entire user journey from the login screen, through navigating the main interface, to engaging in a detailed chat conversation where the AI is asked to generate visual content. The feedback highlights critical bugs in the AI's core tool-using functionality, major dissatisfaction with the quality of the generated outputs, and numerous UI/UX issues related to clutter in the header and chat log.


## Themes & cross-cutting patterns


### 1. AI Tool Reliability and Error Messaging

The AI model frequently fails to complete tasks due to issues with tool access, and the resulting error messages are generic and unhelpful. This represents a critical failure in the core functionality of the application.

**Related bugs:** `bug_008`, `bug_009`


### 2. Low Quality of Generated Visuals and Reports

The visual content generated by the AI, such as infographics and compiled PDFs, is stylistically basic, poorly designed, and fails to meet user expectations for a professional or 'beautiful' final product.

**Related bugs:** `bug_013`, `bug_014`


### 3. Chat Interface Decluttering

The chat history is cluttered with verbose technical logs, intermediate tool call messages, and oversized image thumbnails. This noise makes it difficult for users to follow the primary conversation with the AI.

**Related bugs:** `bug_006`, `bug_015`, `bug_016`


### 4. Header Navigation and Controls Cleanup

The main application header is confusing due to a cluttered list of links, redundant controls, non-functional buttons, and inconsistently styled elements. These issues contribute to a disjointed and unpolished user experience.

**Related bugs:** `bug_002`, `bug_003`, `bug_004`, `bug_005`, `bug_007`





## Priority recommendations

The absolute first priority is to address the critical AI tool failures (bug_008) and improve error messaging (bug_009), as the application is not viable without its core functionality. The non-functional 'Share / Export' button (bug_004) should also be fixed immediately as it's a broken core feature. The second priority should be improving the quality of the generated visual content (bug_013, bug_014), as this is the primary value proposition being tested. Finally, decluttering the chat interface (bug_006, bug_016) and reorganizing the header (bug_002) are high-impact quick wins that would dramatically improve the perceived quality and usability of the application.

## ⚠️ Note on screenshot bounding boxes

The red box on each bug's `screenshot.png` is an AI-generated guess at the affected UI element. It's correct most of the time but not always — sometimes the actual element is near the box rather than inside it, or the box lands on an adjacent element.

When acting on any bug below:
1. Trust the **narration quote** and **detailed walkthrough** first — they describe the real issue.
2. Look at the **full screenshot**, not just inside the red box.
3. If you need precise pixel coordinates and the red box looks off, consult that bug's `omniparser_elements.json` — it lists every UI element our detector found on the screen.

## Bugs (in priority order)


### P1. AI Model Fails Due to Tool Access Errors

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_008` |
| **Priority** | 1 |
| **Severity** | critical |
| **Category** | bug |
| **Time** | 167.0s – 176.0s (key: 172.0s) |
| **Affected element** | AI backend processing |

**Description:**
The user reports that the AI frequently fails to complete tasks, returning errors that suggest it doesn't have access to the required tools. This is a critical failure that blocks the core functionality of the application.

**Narration:**
> "She keeps getting weird um tool failure... like I don't have the access to this tool. I don't like that."

**Suggested fix:**
Investigate backend logs for tool authentication and permission errors associated with the user's account. Verify that the AI agent's role has the necessary permissions to invoke all tools that the 'Athena Brain Routing' model might select. Ensure API keys and service accounts are correctly configured.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The video opens on a dark-themed chat application labeled "Athena v2". The main interface is divided into a left sidebar listing previous chats and a large central chat panel. The currently selected chat is "John's Athena". At the bottom of the screen is a text input area where a user has already typed a detailed prompt: "give me an infographic that looks fucking beautiful, absolutely. like cartoons and images and everything, showing me the current state of the iran war and all that."

As the clip begins, the narrator explains a recurring problem with the AI. He states, "she keeps getting weird um tool failure... like I don't have the access to this tool. I don't like that." This provides the context for the action that follows.

At 00:08, the user's cursor moves over and clicks the blue "Send" button in the bottom-right corner of the interface. Immediately, the UI updates. The user's prompt moves from the input field into the main chat history as a blue message bubble on the right side, timestamped "00:09:00 PST". The text input field below is cleared, and the "Send" button becomes grayed out and disabled. A small gray box appears below the user's message, initially showing "Sending to athena" before changing to "athena has your message and will work through it...". The clip ends in this pending state, with the user waiting for the AI to process the request which, based on the narration, is expected to fail.

### P1. Generated infographics are visually basic and unappealing

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_013` |
| **Priority** | 1 |
| **Severity** | high |
| **Category** | bug |
| **Time** | 290.0s – 301.7s (key: 291.5s) |
| **Affected element** | Generated infographic images |

**Description:**
The user explicitly asked for a 'beautiful' infographic with 'cartoons and images'. The generated output consisted of very plain, unstyled, and 'boring' charts (timeline, pie chart, flowchart) that did not meet the user's quality expectations.

**Narration:**
> "By the way, these are not pretty. These are ugly. I don't see any cartoons or beautiful graphs or anything. I see very, very boring."

**Suggested fix:**
Improve the infographic generation tool's capabilities to produce more aesthetically pleasing and visually rich content. This should include using better color palettes, modern typography, improved layouts, and incorporating illustrative elements or icons as requested by the user. The prompt engineering for the generation tool should be refined to better adhere to stylistic requests.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The video opens on a chat interface for an application named "Athena v3". The main chat panel displays a conversation where an AI has just responded, "Perfect! Now I'll create a gorgeous visual infographic with diagrams, charts, and illustrated elements."

As the screen begins to scroll down, a series of small, unstyled chart images appear in the chat log. The first is a simple timeline, followed by a basic pie chart, and then a flowchart. The narrator expresses disappointment with the output, stating, "By the way, these are not pretty. These are ugly. I don't see any cartoons or beautiful graphs or anything. I see very, very boring."

The user continues to scroll past the plain charts and some lines of code-like text. The narrator adds, "This is so very boring." A message then confirms the background process is finished, and a link to a PDF file named "2026_Iran_War_Current_Status_Infographic.pdf" is generated.

Finally, a preview of the PDF's cover page appears in the chat window. It has a dark blue background with the title "2026 Iran War: Current Status Infographic" in large white text. The narrator says, "Uh, and this is the PDF. Let's see what it looks like." The video ends on this view, having demonstrated that the generated visual elements were extremely basic and did not fulfill the user's request for a "gorgeous" or illustrated infographic.

### P1. Collapse intermediate tool call messages in chat

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_016` |
| **Priority** | 1 |
| **Severity** | high |
| **Category** | ui_polish |
| **Time** | 334.0s – 343.5s (key: 338.0s) |
| **Affected element** | Tool call log messages |

**Description:**
The chat log becomes cluttered with numerous intermediate status messages and tool calls (e.g., 'mermaid.render'). The user wants these technical details to be hidden by default within a single, expandable message to improve readability.

**Narration:**
> "And I don't want to see all this crap between each of these messages. It should just be I'm working... and I can expand one thing to see all of it."

**Suggested fix:**
Group all tool calls related to a single agent action into a single, collapsible component in the chat. This component should display a summary status (e.g., 'Working on infographic...') and have a 'Show details' button or link that expands to reveal the full log of intermediate steps.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The screen displays a dark-themed chat application named "Athena v3". The main panel shows a conversation where a user has asked the AI to create an infographic about the "current state of the Iran war." The view is scrolled down to the AI's multi-step response. Initially, we see several separate messages from the AI, including an `ASSESSMENT` of the plan, a `call_search` tool call, another `ASSESSMENT`, and a preview of a timeline diagram.

As the narrator begins speaking, they scroll down through the chat log. The narrator says, "And I don't want to see all this crap between each of these messages." The scrolling action reveals a long sequence of individual messages that clutter the conversation history. These include previews for a pie chart and a flowchart, followed by at least four separate, identical-looking tool calls for `mermaid.render`.

The narrator continues scrolling and explains the desired behavior: "It should just be I'm working... and I can expand one thing to see all of it." The scroll continues past more intermediate messages, including another `ASSESSMENT` ("Now I'll compile all this..."), a `call_generate` tool call, and a final `ASSESSMENT` before the final PDF file output is shown. The core issue demonstrated is that the AI's entire thought process, including every tool call and intermediate generation step, is displayed as a separate message, making the chat log difficult to read and navigate. The user wants these technical steps to be collapsed into a single, expandable entry.

### P2. Share / Export Button is Not Functional

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_004` |
| **Priority** | 2 |
| **Severity** | high |
| **Category** | bug |
| **Time** | 124.0s – 135.5s (key: 133.5s) |
| **Affected element** | 'Share / Export' button |

**Description:**
The 'Share / Export' button in the header appears to be disabled or non-functional. Even after selecting a chat thread, which should enable the button, it remains unclickable. This prevents the user from sharing or exporting chat content.

**Narration:**
> "Uh, why can't I share and export? The share and export button doesn't even work anymore."

**Suggested fix:**
Investigate the click handler and the logic that controls the disabled state of the 'Share / Export' button. Ensure that the button becomes enabled when a chat is selected and that clicking it triggers the expected share/export modal or action.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The screen displays a dark-themed web application titled "Athena v3". The main interface is a chat view with a list of conversations in a left sidebar and the active chat content in the main panel. Initially, a "New chat" is selected, and the "Share / Export" button in the top header, located to the right of the "Refresh context" button, appears grayed out and disabled.

The user moves the cursor to the left sidebar and clicks on a specific, existing chat thread titled "Lido BRCV VCI Inv...". The main panel immediately updates to display the content of this selected conversation. Despite a specific chat now being active, the "Share / Export" button in the header remains visually unchanged in its disabled state.

The user then moves the cursor directly over the "Share / Export" button. As the cursor hovers, it remains a standard arrow pointer instead of changing to a hand icon, indicating the button is not interactive. While hovering over the non-functional button, the narrator says, "Uh, why can't I share and export? The share and export button doesn't even work anymore." The clip ends with the cursor stationary over the unclickable button, clearly demonstrating that the feature is inaccessible even when a chat is selected.

### P2. Provide more specific and helpful tool failure error messages

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_009` |
| **Priority** | 2 |
| **Severity** | high |
| **Category** | bug |
| **Time** | 173.5s – 178.6s (key: 175.0s) |
| **Affected element** | Error message system |

**Description:**
The user complains about receiving generic and unhelpful 'tool failure' error messages, such as 'I don't have the access to this tool'. These messages don't help the user diagnose or resolve the underlying issue.

**Narration:**
> "she keeps getting weird um tool failure you like I don't have the access to this tool. I don't like that."

**Suggested fix:**
Implement a more robust error handling and messaging system. Instead of generic failures, provide specific details about what went wrong (e.g., 'API key for [Tool Name] is invalid', 'Network timeout when calling [Tool Name]', '[Tool Name] returned an error: [details]').

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The screen displays a dark-themed chat application called "Athena v3". The interface features a left sidebar with a list of chats and a main chat area. At the bottom of the main area, a user has already typed a prompt into the text input field: "give me an infographic that looks fucking beautiful, absolutely. like cartoons and images and everything, showing me the current state of the iran war and all that."

While the prompt is visible, the narrator explains a recurring problem with the application's error messages. "She keeps getting weird, um, tool failure," the narrator says, "like, 'I don't have the access to this tool.' I don't like that." This commentary highlights the user's frustration with generic and unhelpful feedback when the system fails.

The user then sends the message by clicking the blue "Send" button to the right of the text input field. The prompt is immediately added to the chat log as a light-blue, right-aligned message bubble. Below the user's message, a system response appears, stating, "Athena has your message and will work through it." The text input field is now cleared, showing its placeholder text. The video ends with the system processing the request, setting the stage for the potential tool failure the narrator described.

### P2. Generated infographic thumbnails are too large in chat

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_015` |
| **Priority** | 2 |
| **Severity** | medium |
| **Category** | ui_polish |
| **Time** | 325.0s – 333.5s (key: 330.0s) |
| **Affected element** | Generated timeline image |

**Description:**
The images of the generated charts displayed in the chat stream are too large, taking up excessive vertical space. The user suggests they should be 'very small little thumbnails' to avoid cluttering the chat.

**Narration:**
> "all this stuff is too big. These need to be very small little thumbnails... These thumbnails are too big, it takes up too much of the chat space."

**Suggested fix:**
Render the generated charts as small, fixed-height thumbnails within the chat message. Implement a click-to-enlarge feature (e.g., opening the full-size image in a modal or lightbox) so users can inspect the details without cluttering the main chat view.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The screen displays a chat interface for an application called "Athena v3". The main panel shows a conversation with "John's Athena". The most recent message from the AI reads, "Perfect! Now I'll create a gorgeous visual infographic with diagrams, charts, and illustrated elements." Immediately below this text is a large, wide image of a timeline chart titled "2020 Iran War Timeline".

The narrator begins speaking, stating, "all this stuff is too big. These need to be very small little thumbnails as it generates them boom boom boom boom. I can click them to make them big." As they speak, the cursor moves over the large timeline image. The narrator continues, "These are these thumbnails are too big, it takes up too much of the chat space."

To demonstrate this point, the user scrolls up briefly to show the preceding messages, then scrolls down through the chat history. As the view scrolls, it reveals that the AI has generated several other charts in response to the prompt, including a Venn diagram and a flowchart. Each of these images is rendered at a large size, consuming a significant amount of vertical space and forcing the user to scroll extensively to see the entire sequence of generated content. The clip ends with the chat log scrolled down, showing the stack of large images, visually confirming the narrator's complaint about the inefficient use of space.

### P3. Reorganize Cluttered Header Navigation into Menus

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_002` |
| **Priority** | 3 |
| **Severity** | high |
| **Category** | ui_polish |
| **Time** | 50.5s – 62.5s (key: 54.0s) |
| **Affected element** | Header navigation bar |

**Description:**
The top navigation bar contains a very long, flat list of links, making it cluttered and difficult to navigate. The user suggests that these links should be organized into logical groups and placed within dropdown menus to simplify the interface.

**Narration:**
> "This menu right here needs to be organized. There's 50 options up here. These 50 options, organize these into something that makes sense. Like group stuff together that should be grouped together..."

**Suggested fix:**
_(none suggested)_

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The user is on the "Chat" page of a web application called "Athena v3". The interface has a dark theme. The main content area is a large, empty chat panel. To the left is a sidebar listing various chats. At the top of the screen, below the browser's address bar, is a header containing the application's primary navigation. This navigation bar is a single, long, horizontal list of dozens of text links, including "Chat", "Onboarding", "Admin", "Roles", "Users", "Login", "Messages", "Browser", "Code.us", "Closet", "Networks", and many more, stretching across the entire width of the page.

The user begins by saying, "Okay, app's cool." The cursor then appears over the navigation bar and sweeps from left to right, highlighting the long list of links. The user continues, "This menu right here needs to be organized. There's 50 options up here. These 50 options, organize these into something that makes sense. Like group stuff together that should be grouped together and make it like a little menu that that opens up and down."

As the user speaks, the cursor remains over the cluttered navigation bar, emphasizing the area of concern. The rest of the UI remains static. The user is requesting that the flat list of navigation links be restructured into logical groups within dropdown menus to improve usability and reduce visual clutter. The video ends with the cursor hovering over the middle of the navigation bar.

### P3. Response time metric should cover the entire multi-step task

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_010` |
| **Priority** | 3 |
| **Severity** | medium |
| **Category** | bug |
| **Time** | 189.5s – 213.0s (key: 192.5s) |
| **Affected element** | Response time display |

**Description:**
The UI displays a response time after the initial acknowledgement from the agent, but before the agent has completed all its tool calls and generated the final answer. The user argues that the total response time should encompass the entire process, from their prompt to the final output, not just one intermediate step.

**Narration:**
> "but the response time took 10 seconds. She's not done with the response... that all should be in one response time, not one for each for each and every tool call."

**Suggested fix:**
Adjust the logic for calculating and displaying the response time. The timer should start when the user sends their prompt and stop only when the final, complete response is delivered. The displayed time should reflect this total duration.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The video opens on a dark-mode chat interface titled "Athena v3". In the main chat panel, a user has submitted a prompt asking for an infographic about the "current state of the iran-us war." The AI agent has just begun its response.

The agent's first message appears: "I'll create a stunning visual infographic about the current Iran-US conflict situation. Let me first gather the latest information, then build something with charts, diagrams, and visual elements." Directly beneath this initial text, a metric is displayed: "response time took 10 seconds".

The narrator's cursor moves to circle this response time metric as they begin to speak. They express dissatisfaction, stating, "but the response time took 10 seconds. She's not done with the response." As they speak, the UI updates to show the agent is, in fact, not finished. A new block appears below the first message, showing a `tool_search` call with a detailed search query. This indicates the agent is now performing a search to gather the information it mentioned.

The narrator clarifies the issue: "all the tool calls in a row that she does until this is answered, that all should be in one response time, not one for each and every tool call." At the bottom of the screen, a green progress bar with the label "Thinking..." confirms the agent is still actively working. The core problem demonstrated is that the response time metric is displayed prematurely after the agent's initial acknowledgement, rather than reflecting the total time required to complete the entire multi-step task and deliver the final answer.

### P3. Final generated PDF is poorly designed and laid out

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_014` |
| **Priority** | 3 |
| **Severity** | high |
| **Category** | bug |
| **Time** | 308.0s – 317.0s (key: 311.0s) |
| **Affected element** | PDF preview in composer |

**Description:**
The final PDF compiled from the generated visual elements is described as 'terrible' and 'poorly designed'. The layout appears to be a simple concatenation of the raw charts without any professional formatting, branding, or structure.

**Narration:**
> "This is terrible. This is absolutely terrible. Like, the information's there, but it's it's poorly designed and poorly put together."

**Suggested fix:**
Create a professional PDF template for the report. The template should include a title page, headers, footers, page numbers, and a structured layout that arranges the charts and text in a clean, readable manner. The design should align with the application's overall branding.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The screen displays the "Athena v3" chat interface, focused on a conversation with "John's Athena". Initially, a placeholder box with "WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?" and "KEY FACTS" is visible, while a progress bar fills below a long `[ai_search]` command. The narrator begins, "This is terrible. This is absolutely terrible."

As the progress bar completes, the placeholder box vanishes and is replaced by a series of four distinct visual elements that appear one after another, scrolling up the chat log. First, a "2024 Iran-Houthi Timeline" chart appears, followed by a pie chart titled "Casualties by Country (Houthi)", and then two different mind-map-style diagrams. The narrator comments on this output: "Like, the information's there, but it's it's poorly designed and poorly put together."

The final generated content is simply the raw charts stacked vertically in the chat window without any surrounding layout, branding, or professional presentation. A green success message then appears at the bottom of the list: `SUCCESS: [deck_generate] 2024 Iran-Houthi Current Status Infographic deck generate started as a background work run and will post its result back to this thread.` The narrator confirms the process is over, saying, "Is she done? Does she think she's done? Okay, she's finished." The clip ends with the four unformatted charts sitting in the chat history, illustrating the poor final composition of the generated elements.

### P4. Add QR Code Login for Mobile App Authentication

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_001` |
| **Priority** | 4 |
| **Severity** | medium |
| **Category** | feature_request |
| **Time** | 1.5s – 38.5s (key: 4.5s) |
| **Affected element** | Login form |

**Description:**
On the login screen, there is no way to quickly log in without typing credentials. The user wants a QR code to be displayed on the web login page. Scanning this QR code with their mobile phone should open the Athena mobile app, authenticate the session, and then automatically log the user in on the web interface, similar to how services like TikTok or Discord handle web logins.

**Narration:**
> "I want a QR code right here below the login that I so I can pull this website up on like a Tesla and scan it with a QR code and that QR code links to a URL that will then open up the mobile app on my phone and it'll authenticate the user..."

**Suggested fix:**
Implement a QR code-based login flow. The web client should poll a backend endpoint for authentication status after displaying a unique QR code. The mobile app, upon scanning the code, sends an authentication confirmation to the backend, which then resolves the poll on the web client, completing the login.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The video opens on the login screen for a web application titled "Athena v2". The page has a dark background with a centered login form. The form contains three input fields labeled "john.doe", "Admin password", and "2FA Code", with the placeholder text "Required if enabled" under the third field. Below the fields is a blue "Sign in" button. The screen is static, and there is no cursor movement or interaction with the UI elements throughout the clip.

The narrator begins speaking, requesting a new feature. "Alright, first of all, I want a QR code right here below the login," he says, indicating the area under the "Sign in" button. He explains the desired functionality: a user could navigate to this login page on a device like a Tesla's web browser, then scan the QR code with their phone.

He continues, "that QR code links to a URL that will then open up the mobile app on my phone and it'll authenticate the user that I'm currently logged in on my phone." This mobile authentication would then signal the server, which in turn would automatically log the user into the web session, bypassing the need to manually enter a username and password. He compares this desired behavior to the QR code login feature found on platforms like TikTok. The video ends with the login screen unchanged.

### P5. Collapse Verbose Technical Logs in Chat by Default

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_006` |
| **Priority** | 5 |
| **Severity** | medium |
| **Category** | ui_polish |
| **Time** | 153.0s – 159.0s (key: 155.5s) |
| **Affected element** | AI tool call log entries |

**Description:**
The chat interface displays verbose, code-like logs for AI tool calls (e.g., `[sai_search]`). This technical information clutters the chat history and makes it difficult to follow the main conversation. These logs should be collapsed by default.

**Narration:**
> "See how you are all this crap right here. We don't I don't want that to be shown up in like the logs every time."

**Suggested fix:**
Wrap the technical log sections in a collapsible component (e.g., an accordion or a details/summary element). This component should be collapsed by default, showing only a summary like 'Show technical details', and expandable on click.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The screen displays a dark-themed web application named "Athena v3". The main interface is a chat window, with a list of previous chats in a sidebar on the left. The currently selected chat is titled "John's Athena". At the bottom of the central chat panel, a text input field contains a detailed prompt: "give me an infographic that looks fucking beautiful, absolutely like cartoons and images and everything, showing me the current state of the Iran war and all that."

At the start of the clip, the cursor is hovering over a dropdown menu labeled "Auto Brain Routing: Auto," which is already open. The menu displays a list of AI models, including "Gemini 1.5 - API," "Claude Opus 3 - Anthropic," and "GPT 4.0 - OpenAI." The narrator says, "we have it here. We don't need it in two places. All right." As he speaks, the cursor moves away from the dropdown, causing it to close.

The narrator continues, "We probably don't even really need it here honestly." The cursor then moves back up to the "Auto Brain Routing: Auto" button and clicks it, reopening the same model selection dropdown. The narrator adds, "And because I'm the only one like only my account..." The video ends with the dropdown menu still open on the screen.

### P5. Hide model selection dropdown if user has only one option

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_007` |
| **Priority** | 5 |
| **Severity** | medium |
| **Category** | ui_polish |
| **Time** | 160.1s – 168.9s (key: 161.8s) |
| **Affected element** | Auto Brain Routing dropdown menu |

**Description:**
The user points out that their account only has access to one model ('Athena Brain Routing'), yet they are still presented with a dropdown menu to select a model. This control is unnecessary for users without multiple options.

**Narration:**
> "And because I'm the only one like only my account let let let's let's me pick, okay? So we don't need that here. It's always going to be Athena brain routing."

**Suggested fix:**
Conditionally render the model selection control. If the user has access to only one model, display it as static text instead of an interactive dropdown menu. This will reduce UI clutter and simplify the interface for those users.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The screen recording begins on the main chat interface of an application named "Athena v3". The layout features a dark theme, with a list of previous chats in a left sidebar and the main chat panel occupying the rest of the screen. The current chat is titled "John's Athena". At the top of this main panel, a header contains several controls, including a dropdown menu labeled "Auto Brain Routing: Auto".

The narrator explains that their specific user account only has access to a single model. As they say, "And because I'm the only one like only my account let let let's let's me pick, okay?", the cursor moves from off-screen and clicks on the "Auto Brain Routing: Auto" dropdown.

Upon clicking, a menu appears, revealing a list of over ten different AI models, including "Grok 1.5", "Claude 3 Opus", and "GPT 4-o". The narrator points out the redundancy of this control for their account, stating, "So we don't need that here. It's always going to be Athena brain routing." This demonstrates that while the UI presents a choice, the user's permissions render that choice meaningless, as only one option is actually available to them.

After a moment, the cursor moves away from the menu, causing it to close. The screen returns to its initial state, with the "Auto Brain Routing: Auto" dropdown visible but no longer open, having successfully illustrated the unnecessary UI element.

### P5. Replace voice icon tooltip with an instant, rich popover

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_012` |
| **Priority** | 5 |
| **Severity** | medium |
| **Category** | feature_request |
| **Time** | 250.0s – 262.8s (key: 256.5s) |
| **Affected element** | Voice selection icon |

**Description:**
The standard browser tooltip on the voice icon is slow to appear and visually basic. The user requests a custom, floating popover that appears instantly on hover, provides more information, and has a more polished design.

**Narration:**
> "instead of a tool tip when I hover over it, have like a floating div or something that pops up instantly that looks beautiful and it says this will do to the voice..."

**Suggested fix:**
Implement a custom UI popover component that triggers on hover of the voice icon. This popover should appear without delay and be styled to match the application's theme. It should serve as a container for voice-related information and controls.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The screen displays the "Athena v3" application, open to a "Chat" view with a user named "John's Athena". The main panel contains a detailed request titled "Athena needs Google Workspace scanner access". Below this message, a small green icon and the text "Go to model" are visible.

The user moves the cursor from the center of the screen to hover directly over the "Go to model" text. After a brief delay, a standard, light-gray browser tooltip appears with the text "Go to model". While hovering, the narrator expresses dissatisfaction with this behavior, stating, "Okay, you don't have a tooltip... well, there's a little tooltip when I hover over it, but instead of a tooltip when I hover over it, have like a floating div or something that pops up instantly that looks beautiful and it says this will do to the voice..."

The user is requesting that the default, slow-to-appear tooltip be replaced with a custom, visually appealing popover component. This new component should appear instantly on hover and provide richer, more descriptive information about the element's function. The video ends with the cursor still positioned over the text, with the basic tooltip visible, highlighting the current implementation that needs to be improved.

### P6. Replace Native Persona Dropdown with Custom Styled Component

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_003` |
| **Priority** | 6 |
| **Severity** | low |
| **Category** | ui_polish |
| **Time** | 103.0s – 116.5s (key: 104.5s) |
| **Affected element** | Persona selection dropdown |

**Description:**
The 'John's Athena' persona selector in the header is a native browser dropdown, which is inconsistent with the application's overall dark theme and custom styling. It looks 'ugly' and out of place. This should be replaced with a custom-styled dropdown component that matches the rest of the UI.

**Narration:**
> "This right here, this should not be a normal drop down. It looks ugly. Make this a customized specialized drop down that looks like the rest of this."

**Suggested fix:**
Replace the native `<select>` element with a custom dropdown component built with divs and styled with CSS to match the application's design system. Ensure it is fully accessible.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The screen displays a dark-themed application titled "Athena v3". The main interface is a chat view, with a list of conversations in a left sidebar and the active chat, "John's Athena," occupying the central panel. The header contains the persona selector, a native browser dropdown showing "John's Athena," alongside several custom-styled buttons like "Hide Brain Routing" and "Refresh quotes."

The user's primary interaction in this clip is with the chat log's display options. The narrator says, "and all, collapse all," as the cursor moves to the "Collapse all" button at the top right of the chat panel and clicks it. This action collapses all the detailed, multi-line entries in the chat history into single-line summaries. The narrator then says, "Okay, expand all, what does that do?" and clicks the same button, which is now labeled "Expand all." The chat entries immediately expand back to their detailed view, revealing code and JSON-like structures. The narrator expresses approval, saying, "Okay, expands them all. Okay, cool. Okay, okay. I do like that. That's kind of cool."

While the user explores the expand/collapse feature, the core issue being demonstrated is the visual inconsistency of the persona selector. The native dropdown for "John's Athena" in the header starkly contrasts with the application's custom dark theme and styled components. As the narrator noted, "This right here, this should not be a normal drop down. It looks ugly." The desired fix is to replace this standard HTML select element with a custom-styled dropdown component that matches the aesthetic of the rest of the application. The clip ends with the chat log fully expanded and the out-of-place native dropdown still visible in the header.

### P6. Improve clarity of the text-to-speech icon

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_011` |
| **Priority** | 6 |
| **Severity** | medium |
| **Category** | ui_polish |
| **Time** | 236.0s – 245.0s (key: 237.5s) |
| **Affected element** | Text-to-speech icon |

**Description:**
In a chat thread, there is a small green icon that represents a voice or audio feature. The user did not understand its purpose from the icon alone, indicating that it is not sufficiently intuitive.

**Narration:**
> "What's this thing right here? ... Oh. Okay, that icon needs to be better... I didn't know what this did."

**Suggested fix:**
Replace the current abstract icon with a more universally recognized symbol for audio playback, such as a speaker icon (e.g., Font Awesome's `fa-volume-up`) or a play button inside a circle.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The video opens on a chat interface for an application named "Athena v3". The layout consists of a left sidebar listing various chats and a main content area displaying the currently selected chat, titled "John's Athena". In the main chat view, below a large instructional banner, there is a single message in the thread. This message is a small, green, rectangular element containing a simple white waveform-like icon next to the text "via iPhone".

The user moves their cursor over this green element and asks, "What's this thing right here?" They then click on it.

Immediately upon being clicked, the green element expands into a small audio player, revealing a play/pause button, a progress bar, and a duration timer. The audio begins to play. The user has a moment of realization and says, "Oh. Okay, that icon needs to be better." As they continue speaking, the text in the large banner at the top of the chat coincidentally updates. The user clarifies their feedback about the icon, stating, "I didn't know what this did."

The clip ends with the audio player still visible in the chat thread. The user's confusion demonstrates that the initial waveform icon was not sufficiently clear or intuitive to indicate that the element was a playable audio message.

### P7. Remove Redundant 'Auto Brain Routing' Dropdown from Input Area

| | |
|--|--|
| **ID** | `bug_005` |
| **Priority** | 7 |
| **Severity** | low |
| **Category** | ui_polish |
| **Time** | 148.0s – 166.0s (key: 151.0s) |
| **Affected element** | Model selector dropdowns |

**Description:**
The 'Auto Brain Routing' model selector dropdown appears in two places: in the main header controls and again in the footer next to the message input bar. This is redundant. The instance in the footer should be removed to declutter the UI.

**Narration:**
> "Okay, we have it here and we have it here. We don't need it in two places."

**Suggested fix:**
Remove the 'Auto Brain Routing' dropdown component from the chat input area. The header dropdown should be the single source of truth for this setting.

**Detailed walkthrough of the clip:**

The video begins on the main screen of a dark-themed chat application titled "Athena v3". The interface is divided into a left sidebar containing a list of chats and a main content area for the current conversation. At the bottom of the screen is a message input field.

The narrator's goal is to demonstrate a redundant UI element. They begin by saying, "Okay, we have it here and we have it here. We don't need it in two places."

To illustrate this, the cursor moves to the header controls above the main chat window and clicks on a dropdown button labeled "Auto Brain Routing: Auto". A menu appears, listing various AI models such as "Grok 1.5 - API", "Claude 3 Opus - Anthropic", and "GPT 4.0 - OpenAI". The narrator points out that an identical "auto brain routing" dropdown selector is also present in the footer, directly to the right of the message input bar.

The narrator explains why the second instance is unnecessary for their workflow: "And because I'm the only one, like, only my account lets me pick, okay? So we don't need that here. It's always going to be Athena Brain Routing." The suggestion is to remove the dropdown from the footer area to reduce clutter, as the primary one in the header is sufficient. The video ends with the header dropdown menu still open.
