Example

Example workflow

A realistic scenario showing timing and outcome.

Scenario: In a Liveblocks thread discussing onboarding, a team member mentions @AI Assistant. The agent detects the mention within 2 seconds, reads the thread context, and generates a concise onboarding guidance reply. The agent posts the reply within 25 seconds, providing immediate value to all participants.

FAQ

FAQ

Common concerns about automation and reliability.

Yes, you can configure automatic posting or require a manual review step. The agent uses a quick evaluation to determine suitability before posting in real time. You can toggle automatic posting in settings, and you can also apply escalation rules for sensitive threads. The system logs each decision for auditing and traceability.

Absolutely. You can set tone, formality, and language guidelines that the AI model follows when generating replies. These guidelines can be adjusted per thread type or project. The agent will apply these rules consistently across all responses, maintaining a cohesive voice. You can override tone for specific scenarios if needed.

The system logs the response and provides a human-review path if flagged. Escalation rules alert designated teammates for manual correction. You can block or revise responses and re-run the generation with updated context. Continuous feedback helps improve future replies.

The agent fetches the relevant portion of the thread history and metadata, then feeds it along with the mention target to the AI model. The input includes recent messages, author roles, and any relevant thread-level data. The model uses this context to craft a precise, aligned reply.

Data used to generate replies is processed in secure environments with access controls. Only the necessary thread context is included in prompts, and sensitive data handling policies apply. Logs are retained for auditing, but PII is minimized and encryption is used where appropriate. You can configure data retention settings per project.

Yes. The agent can be paused or disabled from the control panel without removing existing configurations. When paused, no new replies are generated, but the history remains for auditing. Re-enabling resumes automatic posting with the same context and rules.

Alerts trigger when the agent cannot generate a reply, when there is a webhook or API error, or when a thread context is unavailable. Notifications can be sent to a channel or assigned owner. Logs provide details to diagnose the issue, and automatic retries can be configured.
