Summary

This updates the documentation around the new agent_view and recommendations moving away from assistant_view, with links to the docs and changelog entry on that. I updated the code sample to match the sample app updates too.

🐍 LGTM! And no big comments but a thought I share before publish!

Your agent can utilize features applicable to messages throughout Slack, like [chat streaming](#text-streaming) and [feedback buttons](#adding-and-handling-feedback). They can also [utilize the `Assistant` class](/tools/bolt-python/concepts/using-the-assistant-class) for a side-panel view designed with AI in mind.
Your agent can utilize features applicable to messages throughout Slack, like [chat streaming](#text-streaming) and [feedback buttons](#adding-and-handling-feedback). Agents respond in the **Messages** tab by default (the [agent messaging experience](/ai/developing-agents), `agent_view`). Apps using the legacy assistant messaging experience (`assistant_view`) can also [utilize the `Assistant` class](/tools/bolt-python/concepts/using-the-assistant-class) for a side-panel view designed with AI in mind.

📣 thought: The wording around the side-panel is somewhat confusing to me since both agent_view and assistant_view messagings can appear here... This is noted in the "developing-agents" link so no blocker for me!

Good point. I ended up removing the new wording altogether because this is just an intro sentence - it's not super important to distinguish the assistant/agent thing here.
