ChatGPT’s consumer chat interface does not offer a native “loop command” in the provided sources; most practical “looping” guidance for ChatGPT comes from prompt-engineering workarounds or external automation tools. Claude Code, by contrast, has a documented built-in /loop command for repeating prompts on an interval inside an active session.

What Happened?

Claude Code’s official docs say /loop runs prompts repeatedly in an open session, and both the interval and prompt can be optional; if you omit the interval, Claude uses a default cadence.

Why it matters for your business?

• Claude Code’s /loop is useful for recurring checks like site uptime, order-status monitoring, or draft reviews, which can save time for small teams that need lightweight automation.
• For ChatGPT, the practical takeaway is that repeat workflows usually require a human-in-the-loop or third-party automation, so it is better suited to assisted drafting and review than unattended looping.

What to do this week?

• In Claude Code: open a session, then enter a command like /loop 5m check deployment status; keep the session open while it repeats, and use a stop action or end the session when finished.
• In ChatGPT: simulate a loop by asking for an output, then pasting the result back with a second prompt that says “revise, check against the rules, and repeat until done”; if you need true automation, use an external workflow tool rather than the chat UI itself.
