Description of the new feature

When I saw the name "Terminal Chat", the first thing I thought of was some sort of chat feature with actual people. In the context of terminals, it was quite a stupid assumption on my part, but my point is that when someone says "Terminal Chat", the first thing that comes to mind is not "AI chatbot integrated into windows terminal that can supercharge your productivity", but "an application where I can chat with others via my terminal".

Also, the word "Terminal" inside "Terminal Chat" is unnecessary because one accesses it within Windows Terminal, hence the user already has the assumption that everything inside Windows Terminal will be terminal-related.

Thus, I believe we should change the name of "Terminal Chat" to something more specific, i.e. something that has the word AI inside of it.

I would hence suggest the name "AI Chat". Since it's more of a middleman application between the user and (say) GitHub Copilot within Windows Terminal, I don't think we need a name too distinct like "ChatGPT".

I am more than open to hearing your thoughts, as well as ideas for potential new names for Terminal Chat.
