Cursor's Default AI Chat Window Opens Automatically for New Projects - Need Toggle Option

Feature Requests
1

I use Cursor daily and it’s driving me nuts that the AI Chat window automatically opens for EVERY new project.

This is annoying because I don’t always want or need the chat when starting work. Sometimes I just want to run a script.

Dev team - please add a simple setting to disable this behavior. Something like: “Automatically open AI Chat window for new projects: [ON/OFF]”

This small change would make Cursor much less frustrating for regular users.
Please be a good editor before trying to be a AI editor. Windsurf does this too, it force opens chat window and the window loads for 20 secs.

This is just slop.

Thanks.
