Here is how your PR affects size of JS and CSS bundles shipped to the user's browser:

App Entrypoints (~89 bytes added 📈 [gzipped])

name                   parsed_size           gzip_size
entry-reauth-required       +407 B  (+0.0%)      +89 B  (+0.0%)
entry-main                  +407 B  (+0.0%)      +89 B  (+0.0%)
entry-login                 +407 B  (+0.0%)      +89 B  (+0.0%)

Common code that is always downloaded and parsed every time the app is loaded, no matter which route is used.

Async-loaded Components (~37 bytes added 📈 [gzipped])

name                               parsed_size           gzip_size
async-load-help-center-app               +68 B  (+0.0%)      +37 B  (+0.0%)
async-load-automattic-help-center        +68 B  (+0.0%)      +37 B  (+0.0%)

React components that are loaded lazily, when a certain part of UI is displayed for the first time.

Legend

What is parsed and gzip size?

Parsed Size: Uncompressed size of the JS and CSS files. This much code needs to be parsed and stored in memory.
Gzip Size: Compressed size of the JS and CSS files. This much data needs to be downloaded over network.

I set version 2.0.1 of the assistant as default for testing; I used the Calypso live link and started a new conversation with the AI. It appears that every message I sent started a new conversation, though. You can see the exchanged messages by loading these conversations:

https://mc.a8c.com/odie/odie-chats/?bot_slugs=wpcom-chat-loggedout&bot_version=2.0.1&sort_by=created_at&sort_order=DESC

There's no indication in the UI that new chats are being initiated with every new user message:

@wiesenhauss yes that makes sense; the conversation retrieval hook doesn't yet support anonId, wil need more work to make it fully workable.
