Sound / notification when AI panel (Codex / Chat) finishes responding

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

When working with Codex or long AI reviews inside a Cursor side panel, there is currently no completion signal when the AI finishes responding.

Cursor already supports sound/notification cues for:

terminal commands

long-running tasks

But AI panel completions (Codex review, long analysis, multi-step reasoning) have no equivalent signal. From the IDE’s perspective, text simply stops streaming.

This makes it hard to:

background AI work

switch context safely

avoid constant visual polling

Requested behavior

Add an optional sound and/or notification when an AI panel response completes, similar to terminal task completion.

Examples:

“Play sound when AI response finishes”

“Notify when Codex review completes”

“AI task completed” notification

Why this matters

Many users now treat AI inside Cursor as a background worker, not just chat.
Completion signaling is essential for:

deep work

long reviews

multi-pass spec and code validation

reduced cognitive load

Cursor already has the OS hooks — this just needs AI completion to be treated as a first-class task event.
