What is a real-time AI copilot?
Most AI tools work after the fact: you paste context into a chatbot, or you read a transcript when the meeting is over. A real-time AI copilot is different — it shares the moment with you.
The difference from a chatbot
A chatbot waits for you to explain your situation. A copilot already knows it — it can see your screen and hear what's going on, so you skip the part where you re-explain everything and go straight to the question that matters.
That difference is everything in live work. When a customer asks about a number on your slide, or a stack trace scrolls past, you don't have time to paste screenshots into a chat window. The copilot is already looking.
The difference from a transcription tool
Meeting tools that record and summarize are useful after the call. A real-time copilot is useful during it — it answers questions, catches what you missed, and flags things while there's still time to act.
LivePair keeps a running model of the session — what you're trying to do, what it believes so far, and where it's uncertain — instead of starting every message cold.
Why it runs on a dedicated machine
A copilot you can't glance at is a copilot you stop using. LivePair's machine puts the assistant on a second screen that mounts to your laptop and repositions itself silently, so help stays in your eyeline instead of hiding behind fifteen tabs.
The full parts list — monitor, mount, motor, controller — is on the hardware page. The custom mounts are $10 STEP files; everything else is off the shelf.
What it costs
The agent runs on prepaid credits — top up from $5, pay only for what you use. Live sessions bill by the hour, $10/hour for 1 to 5 hours. Details are on the pricing section.
