SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Streams agent responses in real-time, reducing perceived latency and keeping users engaged during long-running generations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time streaming: deliver tokens or deltas as they are generated.
  • Multi-client support: stream to multiple clients from a single generation.
  • Progressive UI integration: enable live updates in front-end frameworks like React.
  • Use Case: build chat interfaces with live typing indicators and faster feedback loops.

Quick Start

Start streaming by wiring your agent's streaming API in your project. Call the streaming function with the threadId and prompt to begin progressive responses. Use this Skill to enable live UI updates while a generation runs; connect your frontend to receive deltas and render them as they arrive.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stream agent responses in real-time to a UI without blocking the client?

Real-time streaming sends incremental deltas to clients as they generate, preventing UI blockage. This skill uses Convex thread streaming APIs to progressively deliver long agent generations and enable live frontend updates.

Can I stream a single agent generation to multiple clients simultaneously?

Yes, multi-client streaming supports feeding incremental deltas from a single generation to multiple frontends. This skill leverages Convex agent streaming APIs to broadcast real-time responses to connected clients.

How do I enable live typing indicators for a chat interface using Convex?

Live typing indicators are enabled by connecting your frontend to receive streaming deltas. This skill feeds incremental generation updates to UI frameworks like React, rendering tokens as they arrive for faster feedback loops.

What do I need to set up progressive delivery for long-running agent generations?

Progressive delivery requires wiring your agent's streaming API with a threadId and prompt. This skill uses Convex agent streaming and thread streaming capabilities to feed incremental deltas to frontends during generation.

Why does my UI freeze during long agent text generations?

UI freezes occur when waiting for entire generations to complete before rendering. Real-time streaming solves this by delivering tokens progressively, reducing perceived latency and keeping users engaged during long-running tasks.
