Response from developer

Thanks for flagging this. We've confirmed both issues on our side: suggested replies can overwrite text as you type, and the setting being off doesn't fully prevent them. Our team has logged a bug to fix it, though we don't have a timeline to share yet.

The auto reply is not great and stalls the process

The auto reply is great. Till it isn’t and then you can’t cancel its search and simply reply to the customer
