If Murfy AI is still working
Murfy AI can keep working on a request even if your connection to it is interrupted. When you come back to a chat that is still running, or the connection drops while it works, a notice appears above the input box:
AI is still working on your last request. You can send a new message when it's done.
- The input box is disabled until the request finishes, so you can't send a new message in the meantime.
- Murfy tries to reconnect to the running request to get its result.
- If you click the stop button yourself, the notice goes away.
