Personal assistants should hide model and effort selectors
The author argues assistants like Grok Bot, Muse and Claude Duet win by skipping model and effort selection, since most people hate deciding; he suggests defaulting to low effort and raising it on user frustration.

the best thing about personal assistants like grok bot / muse / claude duet is that you don’t have to select model and effort level you just get to work i know the nerds here love to feel in control but 99% of people hate making decisions i know selecting the optimal effort level isn’t a trivial problem. well. just hide the selector and set it to low. if the user calls the assistant a retard, raise it to medium. problem solved
