Assistant: Bundle UI updates to avoid flickering

While typing, we get the results from each provider asynchronously.

Previously, we were updating the UI for each result size,
which was causing a lot of flickering.

This fix creates a small timer to bundle the results
and reduce the number of UI updates per input.
