Problem Statement

In the desktop app, I ask for task chips during a session but don't want to start them until a certain point in the conversation. Closing them would lose them and keeping them open takes up screen real estate.

Proposed Solution

Be able to minimize task chips so they're smaller. For example, collapse to just the header and be able to click and drag the chips to move them off to the side, or completely minimize them so they aren't on-screen anymore. Add a "Task Chip" item to the menu that appears if I tap the ellipsis in the top right in a session where i can then access the minimized task chips and kick them off when I want.

Alternative Solutions

Only work around is to keep the task chips open.
