Some prompts take a while — deep research, big reports, long reasoning. You don’t have to sit and watch. Chief keeps working while you do other things and can ping you with a browser notification when the answer is ready.

​
Leave a chat running

Chief: background chats — you can safely leave this page banner
While a response is generating, Chief shows a banner that says You can safely leave this page while I work. You can switch to another chat, open another tab, or move to a different project, and the response keeps generating. When a chat you’ve left finishes, a banner appears letting you know — for example, ”…” has finished — so you can jump back to it.

​
Turn on browser notifications

Chief: background chats — the Notify me button
  1. While a response is generating, find the streaming banner and click Notify me.
  2. Your browser asks for permission to show notifications. Click Allow.
  3. Chief confirms it’ll let you know — I’ll notify you when this chat finishes. When the answer is done, you get a browser notification like I’ve answered your ”…” prompt.

​
Manage how you’re notified

Chief: background chats — Manage notifications On Off Hide
  1. On the streaming banner, click Manage.
  2. Choose how Chief notifies you: notify you when every prompt finishes, turn notifications off (don’t notify me when prompts finish), or Hide the banners entirely.
🚀 Pro-Tip: Kick off a long research prompt, click Notify me, then go do something else. Chief will tap you on the shoulder the moment it’s done.

FAQ

If notifications are blocked, Chief shows: “Notifications are blocked for this site. Enable them in your browser settings (site permissions or the lock icon in the address bar), then tap here to try again.” Open your browser’s site permissions, allow notifications for Chief, and click Try again.
You’ll see “Notifications are not available in this browser or on this page” when you’re in a private/incognito window or on a non-secure connection. Use a normal (non-private) window on an https connection.
No. The response keeps generating on Chief’s side. Reopen the chat and you’ll find the completed answer waiting.
