Short answer

How can my AI manage Liveblocks rooms?

Your AI uses specific tools to spin up new collaborative rooms, change room metadata, and manage who can join. It handles the heavy lifting of user authorization and identity management. You get full programmatic control over your real-time environments.

Where every action lands.

Room orchestration outcomes

The AI directs its actions into these specific Liveblocks states.

SESSION

New room creation

The AI uses create_room to launch fresh collaborative spaces. You get a ready-to-use environment for real-time interaction.

ACCESS

User permission control

Your agent uses authorize_user to grant or revoke entry. This keeps your collaborative sessions secure and private.

DATA

Metadata updates

The AI uses update_room to change room settings on the fly. This keeps your session state in sync with your application logic.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You retain the ability to manually override any room settings. The AI handles the repetitive setup, but you stay in control of the high-level architecture.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

Your agent follows a logical sequence to move from a request to a live, secured room.

  1. Initialize the space

    The AI starts by spinning up a new collaborative environment with the necessary parameters.

    create_room

  2. Set room properties

    Once the room exists, the AI adjusts the metadata to match your specific session needs.

    update_room

  3. Verify user identity

    The agent identifies the user to ensure the session data maps to the right person.

    identify_user

  4. Grant entry

    The AI finalizes access by confirming the user has the right permissions to join the room.

    authorize_user

  • 02

    Does the AI manage my billing?

    No. The AI only interacts with room orchestration and user permissions.

  • 03

    Can I restrict a user from a room?

    Yes. You can tell your agent to use the authorization tool to manage user access.

  • 04

    Can the AI change room names?
