Summary

Rebrands "Ask Fern" → "Ask AI" across 66+ files (EN + ZH content, changelogs, footer, openapi.json, nav), with the following exceptions:

  • The Slack app page and direct references to the Slack bot keep "Ask Fern" (since the Slack app is literally named Ask Fern)

Additional changes:

  • Slug rename: Section slug changed from ask-fernask-ai, so URLs are now /learn/docs/ai-features/ask-ai/...
  • Redirects: Catch-all redirect from /learn/docs/ai-features/ask-fern/:slug*/learn/docs/ai-features/ask-ai/:slug*; all existing redirects updated to point to new paths
  • Home page: Ask Fern card → CLI generator card (sentence case title, links: Introduction, Quickstart, Features)
  • Internal links: All ai-features/ask-fern/ hrefs updated to ai-features/ask-ai/

…n card with CLI Generator

- Rename 'Ask Fern' → 'Ask AI' in all English and Chinese MDX content,
  snippets, changelogs, openapi.json, footer, and docs.yml section names
- Replace Ask Fern card on /learn/home with CLI Generator card
  (both EN and ZH welcome.mdx)
- Update LLM-only sections on home pages accordingly
- Keep URL slug as 'ask-fern' for backward compatibility
- Fix 'Ask AI AI' double-phrase in guidance.mdx descriptions

The Slack app is specifically named 'Ask Fern', so direct references
to it remain as 'Ask Fern' rather than 'Ask AI'. This applies to the
slack-app.mdx page and card titles/links pointing to the Slack app.
