I have been wondering if ChatGPT can run in the background while I'm doing other tasks on my computer or phone. Can it generate responses or assist me without needing to be actively on screen? How does it handle background processing? Any insights or experiences would be appreciated!

I use ChatGPT on my phone, and it definitely doesn't respond unless I open the app or the website. It doesn't process requests in the background on its own.
If you're looking for background tasks, you might want to set up automation with APIs. That way, ChatGPT can process inputs and provide outputs without manual interaction every time, but it requires some programming.
