[FR] (self-hosted) web app: option to hide AI-related UI components, when no API key is given

[almereyda]

Description

Currently, when a self-hosted AppFlowy-Cloud instance is used that has AI services disabled, associated UI components will still display.

• [FR] Allow to disable (Open)AI integration and provide context about the Appflowy (Open)AI dependency AppFlowy-Cloud#565

In light of bundling a self-configuring web app with the Cloud distribution due to further needs requiring runtime activation of components (AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy-Cloud#873), it appears useful to consider dynamically hiding AI-related components, when no API key is given.

Impact

Users of self-hosted AppFlowy will not be offered features that do not work.

Additional Context

Recent developments in this area are:

• [FR] ollama #4157
• [FR] Allow custom OpenAi api base url AppFlowy-Cloud#943

I also find that annoying - thanks for reporting this.
