Know When a Long Answer Finishes

You can opt in to a sound when a response completes, a desktop notification when the answer lands in a tab you are not looking at, or both.

Current release version for Know When a Long Answer Finishes: 0.261.001

Two independent opt-in preferences live on your profile. Completion audio cues offer ten bundled sounds with volume control and a preview button. Desktop notifications use your browser notification permission and appear when the response finishes in a hidden or unfocused tab, showing only the app and conversation title rather than the response content, and clicking one focuses the existing tab instead of opening a new one.

User Side

You can opt in to a sound when a response completes, a desktop notification when the answer lands in a tab you are not looking at, or both.

Admin Side

Admins decide whether Know When a Long Answer Finishes is available in your environment. If you cannot find Open Profile and Open Chat, ask whether the related settings, governance policy, or workspace access has been enabled for your account.

Why It Matters

This matters because long research answers are worth stepping away from, and there was previously no way to know the response had arrived.

How to Try It

  1. Open your Profile page and find the notification and audio preferences.
  2. Turn on completion audio cues if you want an audible signal.
  3. Pick one of the ten available sounds and set the volume, using preview to hear it.
  4. Turn on desktop notifications separately if you want alerts for background tabs.
  5. Allow the browser notification permission prompt when it appears.
  6. Open Chat, ask a question that takes a while, and switch to another tab.
  7. Confirm you get the notification and that clicking it returns you to the existing tab.
