ChatGPT to Resume Chats After App Restarts
OpenAI is preparing a ChatGPT app update that will let running chats resume after the app closes, with options to keep work paused or continue it. The feature targets long-running Goal and Codex workflows where interruptions can otherwise cost users progress.
// ANALYSIS
Persistent execution is becoming table stakes for AI agents; users should not have to keep an app open to protect active work.
- –Resuming interrupted chats makes long-running coding and research tasks far more practical
- –The pause-or-resume prompt gives users control instead of silently restarting work
- –Persistence could reduce duplicated effort and wasted model usage after crashes or updates
- –Developers will still need checkpoints and durable file writes for true fault tolerance
