# Browser notifications

> Get a desktop ping when a long reply finishes, even if you switched tabs.

Long replies, Deep Research runs, image generations — they all take real seconds. Foundry can ping your desktop the moment a reply lands so you don't have to babysit the tab.

  **Screenshot coming.** Notification banner.

## Turn it on

The first time a long task is about to finish, Foundry asks your browser for notification permission. Click **Allow** once and you're set.

If you missed the prompt or denied it: open your browser's **Site Settings** for `chat.ironlabs.ai` and flip **Notifications** to **Allow**.

## What triggers a notification

* An **AI response finishes** streaming after you switched away from the Foundry tab.
* A **scheduled task** runs and produces output while Foundry isn't focused.

Title: *IronLabs AI — Response ready*<br />
Body: the first line or two of the reply.

Clicking the notification jumps you straight back to the chat that produced it.

## What if permission is denied or unsupported?

Foundry falls back to an **in-app toast** at the top of the window. You'll still see the cue when you next tab back in.

## Tips

* Pair with **Deep Research** — kick off a long run, tab away, get pinged when it's done.
* Useful for **scheduled task overnight runs** — first notification of the morning is your task's output.
