Looking forward to another engaging week of discussions. Stay curious and keep contributing!

I A/B tested naming in our B2B app: non‑technical users engaged more with “assistant,” while engineers preferred “copilot” during build flows. Tip: match the label to behavior — if it acts on your behalf, call it an assistant; if it suggests alongside you, it’s a copilot — and A/B test copy in onboarding and emails (@lena). Caveat: “copilot” bumped our email opens but confused support users in‑product — words set the contract, and not every app needs a cockpit.
