Terminology
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Minute pool | Prepaid session time. Every live session draws from it, per minute of wall-clock session time |
| Credits | Prepaid micro-USD balance for agent chat and generation. Never expires |
| Pack | A fixed bundle of minutes (30–300) bought at once |
| HUD | The overlay shown during a live session — transcript, agent state, status |
| Card | A public prompt card on the hub: prompt text, model, result media |
Live session modes
| Mode | URL | Inputs | Use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task | /live | Screen or camera + mic | Meetings, coding, debugging, live calls |
| Joy Alive | /live?mode=alive | Rear camera + mic | On the move — hazard calls, wayfinding, reading signs |
| Duo | /live?mode=fun | Mic only | Two voices riffing — entertainment surface |
All modes draw the same minute pool. Work sessions need the 60-minute tier or more in the pool.

Credits
Credits are a separate prepaid balance used for the agent chat and image or video generation. Top-ups start at $5. Every charge is itemized on the billing page — each message and each generation shows its cost.
Charges and refunds
- Fulfillment is automatic. A completed payment lands minutes or credits on the balance within about a minute.
- Refunded spend reverses the associated usage share on any creator card that caused it.
- Payment went through but nothing landed? Refresh the dashboard. If the balance is unchanged after 10 minutes, email support@livepairai.com with the order id.
Using the agent
Open the playground and type. The agent keeps a running model of the conversation — goal, conclusions, open questions — and the HUD shows when it is guessing versus when it is confident.
Two habits that change answer quality:
- State the goal, not just the question. "We're deciding whether to rebuild this" gets a better answer than a pasted error alone.
- Treat low-confidence answers as leads. The HUD exposes the agent's uncertainty; use it.
Sessions remember the whole conversation — "like I said earlier" works.
Phone as camera
A laptop webcam sees your face. A phone on the desk sees the work — for live sessions, the second is what matters.
- Install DroidCam on the phone (App Store / Play Store) and the DroidCam client on the PC.
- Connect both to the same network (Wi-Fi), or use USB for a stable feed.
- Mount the phone facing the workspace — desk, whiteboard, bench.
- In a live session, select DroidCam as the camera source.
Data handling
- Session audio and video are processed live to run the session — we do not store recordings of you.
- We do not sell your data and do not train models on it.
- Ad measurement on the marketing site never touches session content.

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Payment completed, balance unchanged | Fulfillment lag | Refresh; email support after 10 min with order id |
| Camera not detected | DroidCam offline or wrong network | Confirm both devices run DroidCam on the same network |
| Session ended early | Meter runs on wall-clock | Closing the tab does not pause — end the session explicitly |
| iOS camera works, screen share missing | iOS Safari runs camera-only in beta | Use a desktop browser or Android host for screen share |
