## 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.

## What the narrator said

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

## Detailed visual walkthrough

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.

## 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.
