Short answer

How can my AI track live users and threads?

Your AI uses Liveblocks to see who is active in a room and pull up existing discussion threads. You can then tell your agent to resolve specific threads once they are handled. This setup gives you a clear view of real-time collaboration.

Where every update lands.

Real-time collaboration outcomes

The AI organizes live data into these specific areas.

PRESENCE

Live user tracking

The AI identifies exactly who is currently in a room. You get a clear list of active participants.

THREADS

Discussion management

Your agent pulls up all active conversation threads. This keeps your collaborative notes organized.

RESOLUTION

Thread cleanup

The AI marks discussions as finished. This keeps your workspace clean and prevents old threads from cluttering your view.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI cannot create new threads or change user permissions. You must handle those actions yourself in the Liveblocks dashboard.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your live sessions and your chat interface.

  1. Identify active users

    The agent checks the current room state to see who is online and participating.

    list_active_users

  2. Fetch discussions

    Your AI scans the room to find all existing collaborative threads.

    list_threads

  3. Close out threads

    Once a discussion is finished, the agent marks the thread as resolved.

    resolve_thread

  4. Monitor changes

    The AI keeps track of the user list and thread status as they update.

    list_active_userslist_threads
