Live Presence
Live presence is an AI interface design pattern that surfaces who else is viewing or editing the same conversation, document, or workspace in real time. This UX pattern uses avatars, cursor colors, “typing” or “reviewing” states, and optional focus indicators so collaborators do not step on each other’s edits. It reduces ambiguity in shared AI workflows - such as co-editing a spec the model drafted or reviewing a plan - by making simultaneous activity visible. The pattern is essential for team products where AI outputs are negotiated, not consumed alone.
Use Case
Ideal for collaborative docs, team chat with shared threads, and enterprise assistants where multiple people iterate on the same AI-generated artifact.
