'Pause Response' instead of 'Stop Reponse'?

Currently, you can interrupt the AI as it’s building a component, theme, app or whatever to either correct an action or for whatever reason, all you have to do is click “Stop Response” then you can discuss with it the actions it just took or are about to and then it can continue on doing whatever it was doing before you interrupted it. “Stop Response” makes sense, if you intend to re-try the same prompt (maybe with additions/subtractions made) instead of interrupting and correcting, as it implies you don’t care about the rest of the response. I think “Pause Response” gives a better idea of how the feature works, you’re only pausing it to either interject and continue or to do something else, but the wording “Stop Response”, in my opinion, inferrs ‘stop and forget everything past this point’.

Hi bobthebear!
Thank you so much for trying out Assist and sharing this thoughtful feedback.

You make a great point about how “Pause Response” may better capture the behavior, especially since the intent is often to interject and continue, not discard the rest of the response. We originally aligned with patterns from other LLM tools (like OpenAI and Cursor), which use a “Stop” icon for their interrupt actions, but we’ll keep monitoring feedback like yours to see if a change would make the experience clearer.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share this, it’s exactly the kind of input that helps us improve.
