Liveblocks:Ready-made AI copilots and collaboration for your product

What is Liveblocks?

Liveblocks is a powerful real-time collaboration platform that enables developers to easily integrate multi-user collaboration, AI assistants, comment systems, user presence, notifications, and multiplayer editing into their apps. With JavaScript/React SDKs and a fully managed WebSocket backend, Liveblocks helps you create Figma-like collaborative experiences without building complex infrastructure from scratch.

Key Features of Liveblocks

• AI Copilot Assistants: Embed AI agents directly into your app to improve onboarding, offer intelligent suggestions, and unlock monetization opportunities.

• Comment System: Threaded, rich-text comments with mentions, attachments, and contextual placement—similar to Notion.

• Real-Time Multiplayer Editing: Supports collaborative text or canvas editing with undo/redo, and integration with editors like Lexical, ProseMirror, and Tiptap.

• Presence & Shared Cursors: Display who is online and what they are interacting with in real time, enhancing awareness and collaboration.

• Smart Notifications: Send real-time alerts for comment replies, approvals, or changes to drive user engagement.

• Hosted Backend & Admin Console: Offers a managed WebSocket infrastructure with analytics, monitoring, and regional configuration.

Technical Architecture 

• Modular “Blocks” System: Presence, Storage, Comments, and other features can be added individually based on needs.

• Hosted WebSocket Backend: Liveblocks handles syncing, auth, and data persistence so you don’t have to build your own infrastructure.

• Robust SDK Support: Integrates with popular frontend tools like React, Next.js, Yjs, Zustand, and Redux.

• CRDT-Based Syncing: Enables conflict-free, real-time data updates across users, ensuring consistency in collaborative environments.
