👋 Hey Product Hunt!

Excited to share Liveblocks 3.0 with you, our biggest release yet.

Over the past few years, we’ve helped hundreds of teams make their products collaborative. Now we’re bringing AI into the mix, with the same level of depth, polish, and ease of use you’re used to.

With Liveblocks 3.0, you can turn your product into the space where people and AI collaborate.It gives you:

  • 🤖 Context-aware AI copilots that can take actions, embedded directly in your UI

  • ✨ Comments, notifications, live cursors, and multiplayer editing

  • ⚛️ Pre-built React components you can drop into your app in minutes

No backend setup. No AI expertise required. This enables you to unlock the secret sauce behind world‑class products. In just a few lines of code:

  • Multiplayer like Figma

  • Comments like Notion

  • AI companion like Microsoft Copilot

  • Annotations like Google Docs

  • Whiteboard like Miro

  • Spreadsheets like Google Sheets

  • Inbox like Linear

  • AI copilots like Notion

  • and more...

We’ll be here all day answering questions and sharing more. Would love your feedback!

@stevenfabre So excited to share this at last!

If anyone has any questions, I'll be around to answer them 👋

Big fan of liveblocks! Makes real time collab so easy. Can’t wait to try out the AI copilot!
Steven Fabre

@clairetaylor thank you Claire. It's been a pleasure working with you all at Chronicle. Fantastic product!

Adrien Gaudon

@clairetaylor Can't wait to hear about your experience with AI Copilots 🙏

Sam @CRANQ

All I'm seeing is figma-level collaboration + notion style comments w/ AI assistance in a ridiculously simple developer package - I LOVE it :) No backend headaches etc.

I look forward to seeing this reshape how teams build together!

Chris

@cranqnow thanks for the comment, we're excited to see how everyone uses it too!

Sam @CRANQ

@ctnicholas It'll be interesting - How many active users are you on currently?

Adrien Gaudon

@cranqnow Wow, I love how well you summarized it!

Sam @CRANQ

@adrien_gaudon (You can steal it off me if ya like, the price is some merch, whenever you get round to making it)

Dennis Müller

anything other than liveblocks being product of the week would make me so upset!!!

Steven Fabre

@muellaire haha. I’d only be not upset if we lost against Amie!

Chris

@muellaire Thank you 😂 same!!

Gordon Wu

Congrats on launching 3.0! I was impressed with Liveblocks in the past and recently added real-time collaboration features to my own app, so it'll be great to try out Liveblocks again

Steven Fabre

@gordon_wu3 thank you. Excited for you to give Liveblocks a try again. Here if you need anything!

Adrien Gaudon

@gordon_wu3 Thanks for your support! It's very appreciated 🚀

Antoine Descamps

Amazing! Congrats on the launch :)

Steven Fabre

@antoine2001 thank you, Antoine! Hope you're doing well!

Dave

This is awesome! Can’t wait to have a play with it

Huge congrats team

Steven Fabre

@dave_kinde thanks Dave. I feel like Kinde would benefit a lot from having an AI copilot in the dashboard: to help your customers find their keys, invite collaborators, answer questions about the product, etc.

Adrien Gaudon

@dave_kinde Let us know once you've played with it. Always looking for feedback 🙏

Maklyen May

Bring ready made AI copilots and real-time collaboration to your product. Build faster, smarter user experiences without reinventing the wheel.

Adrien Gaudon

@maklyen_may Exactly! Thanks!

Diana Kimball Berlin

Congrats!! Could you share a few of the trickiest / most nuanced tradeoffs you had to make along the way?

Chris

@dianakimball Thanks! An interesting technical choice was between HTTP and WebSockets in our AI chats. A lot of existing AI chats use HTTP, but with we went with WebSockets which enables a whole bunch of things. For example, you can refresh the page, change chats, close the tab, and the stream always finishes, whereas most existing AI apps fail in these cases!

Ellen Chisa

Awesome launch! What are some of the best copilot experiences you've seen / took inspiration from when building the tooling for 3.0?

Chris

@ellenchisa Thanks! I've personally taken inspiration from Notion's AI experience, one of the first text editor AI agents that really feels helpful, and we're looking to enable this!

Pierre Le Vaillant

@ellenchisa  @ctnicholas Notion too, definitely! They have integrated AI so seamlessly into their product that it became an essential part of it really quickly.

Supa Liu

Liveblocks makes it easy to add powerful, collaborative features without starting from scratch. With built-in AI Copilots, comments, and real-time editing, it’s a solid way to boost engagement and bring more value to your product fast.

Chris

@supa_l Thank you for the kind comment!

Yousef El-Dardiry

Congrats @stevenfabre @ctnicholas @jrowny! LiveBlocks sets such a high bar in terms of API design and easy-to-use components, looking forward to diving into v3!

Chris

@stevenfabre  @jrowny  @yousefed thank you so much! We're really pleased with AI Copilots, you can do some exciting stuff. I've set a demo that lets you edit Tiptap state from the chat, and BlockNote should be easily possible too!

Adrien Gaudon

@stevenfabre  @ctnicholas  @jrowny  @yousefed Thanks for the kind words 🫶

Grant Shaddick

Awesome launch guys - love the vibe of the video too - so sick.

Chris

@9rantys thank you, appreciate the kind words!

Steven Fabre

@9rantys thanks!

Adrien Gaudon

@9rantys Thanks! Love the video, @pierrelevaillant has been orchestrating the work on it 👑

Abdul Rehman

@stevenfabre I am impressed with LiveBlock, and the pre built React components are a huge win for devs like me who want to skip the boring setup and get straight to building.

Wishing you the very best 🙌

Steven Fabre

@abod_rehman thank you Abdul! Really kind of you.

Adrien Gaudon

@stevenfabre  @abod_rehman That's exactly why we're doing this, so happy to hear that!

Dean Hudson

Great stuff! Congrats on the launch @stevenfabre and team

Steven Fabre

@dean_hudson thanks, Dean! Much appreciated!

Abadur Rahman Imtiaz

Cant wait to try it out. Now that you have joined the AI game why not list it on Aixyz .co? It's free and welcomes game-changing tools like this. Currently we have more than 1600 tools on our site.

Chris

@arimitaz thanks!

Evgenii Zaitsev

Liveblocks 3.0 sounds like a fantastic product for making apps collaborative and AI-powered with minimal effort! How customizable are the AI copilots? Can we tailor their responses, actions, or behavior to suit the app's use case more closely?

Chris

@evgenii_zaitsev1 Absolutely! Actions are especially interesting. You can let AI autonomously edit your app's state, for example it can create new projects, redirect you, edit text documents, anything you want—even sending emails.

Pierre Le Vaillant

@evgenii_zaitsev1  @ctnicholas The possibilities are endless, that's what excites me the most 🤯

Zeno Rocha

This is great! We love using Liveblocks at @Resend ;D

Adrien Gaudon

@zenorocha We handled all our beta testers communication and launch with @resend . And we loved it 🥰

Scott Hanford

Super interesting. How customizable are the components?

Steven Fabre

@scott_hanford they’re fully customizable. It’s just react components, so you can compose your UI and style things how you’d like.

Cool!!

Chris

@ninaaaa0913 Thanks!
