I've written agent skills for Yjs and @liveblocks.io!
45+ markdown files that help with questions like:
• How do I avoid too many re-renders?
• How do I handle Wi-Fi connections dropping?
• How do I make my Yjs document more performant?

Agent skills for Yjs & Liveblocks.
Today, we're launching two agent skills, enabling AI coding assistants to follow Yjs and Liveblocks best practices more consistently. Compatible with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more.

Python SDK for Liveblocks.
Power your collaborative back end with our new SDK for Python. Featuring 85+ methods for managing rooms, updating realtime storage, building agent workflows, and more.

We're just released a Python SDK for @liveblocks.io.
Use Python as your Liveblocks back-end. Built realtime AI agents, update sync engine data, create multiplayer rooms, more. There's 85+ methods in total.

We've just created a @liveblocks.io integration, which means your bots can now work in comment threads too! Here's I'm triggering the same bot from our React components.

Chat SDK by @vercel.com is brilliant.
It's so easy to set up cross-platform AI that can trigger from Slack, Discord, more. In this demo, a bot creates a real-time Liveblocks table in an app after being tagged.
Yep, got to say, it's very unusual!! If you download the example, I'd recommend using a more expensive model, it made quite a difference to the results.
Love how easy it is to use!
Package created by @nvie.com, @marcbouchenoire.com, @aureliendupaysdexemple.com!
Can't wait for a chance to build examples! It's so fun.
Install → $ npm install @liveblocks/react-flow

Here we can see the beauty of true conflict-resolved multiplayer.
Humans and agents can't edit documents simultaneously without overriding each other's changes. With a sync engine like Liveblocks Storage, conflicts are merged & resolved, and it just works.
Yesterday, @liveblocks.io released new APIs for integrating real-time AI agents into your app. Guess what? They work with @xyflow.com too.
Set up agents that can edit your document and render live cursors as they make changes.
Because it's powered by our battle-tested sync engine, Liveblocks Storage, you get a tonne of features for free. REST APIs, webhooks, DevTools, more.
And in React, we have 100+ hooks to take advantage of. For example, you can add multiplayer undo/redo with useUndo()/useRedo().
Add multiplayer to React Flow in 5 mins!
Our new @liveblocks.io package enables plug-and-play real-time collaboration. Powered by our open-source sync engine, edits are fully conflict-resolved, allowing multiple humans & agents to edit at once.
And there's more ↓
Introducing Feeds.
New realtime primitives for storing chat messages, workflow status, agent logs—anything that needs a live list.
Plus, new APIs that allow AI to act as native users, showing live presence and editing sync engine documents.

Super excited to share this, it enables a tonne of possibilities!
We've also added new APIs for existing product that help you add agent collaboration to Liveblocks.
Learn more about all this on our blog.

Notice the avatar stack too? 👤✨
Liveblocks now allows AI agents to show up in live presence using new back-end APIs. It's not just for avatars though, you create any presence, such as typing indicators and x/y cursors.
More on that in tomorrow's announcement…
Create real-time AI state with powerful new primitives!
Feeds by @liveblocks.io abstracts WebSockets into React hooks & REST APIs that you can use to link workflows to UI, send AI status updates, create multiplayer chats. Anything that needs a real-time list.
And that's not all ↓
AI agents are becoming native users of software.
Today, we’re kicking off Unveil Week with a broader vision than human-only collaborative features. Software itself needs to change for the age of agents.

Major Liveblocks launches starting Monday!
We're releasing new primitives for building realtime AI workflows into your app. Incredibly versatile and useful for all kinds of applications. React hooks, SDKs, REST APIs, more.
And that's just day 1.
liveblocks.io/unveil/apri...
Liveblocks Unveil.
AI agents are becoming native users of software, and apps need a new foundation. We've built it.
🗓️ April 6–10. Releases every day.
Liveblocks Unveil is next week!
We'll have announcements every day related to making AI native users of software. Apps need a new foundation, and we've built it.

Experimenting with multiplayer Konva!
Shapes are synced in real-time using @liveblocks.io, and update 60 times per second. Many users can edit at once, and all conflicts will resolve.
Would love to build a full design tool library—any interest?
Liveblocks Storage and Yjs just got better.
• Support for larger documents, preventing out of memory crashes.
• Quicker initial load times, especially for sizable documents.
• Higher limits and lower overhead.
The best thing—you're upgraded already!

What's new in Liveblocks → February 2026
• Open sourcing our dev server and HTTP router.
• Improved realtime data engine for Liveblocks Storage & Yjs.
• Programatically manage Liveblocks projects with REST APIs.
