Live Assist

Real-time video, screen-share and POV remote-expert sessions woven into work objects — a field worker taps "Get help" on a work order and a remote expert sees what they see, guides them live, and the session is recorded against the record. Built on a WebRTC SFU (LiveKit).

Overview

Live Assist puts real-time video help exactly where the work happens — not in a separate meeting app. A frontline worker stuck on a fault taps "Get help" from the work order, an inspection, or a lone-worker alert, and a remote expert joins over live video to see their point-of-view camera or shared screen and guide them through the fix. Because every session is launched from a work object and recorded against it, the video becomes part of the record — an inspection's evidence, a work order's resolution, an incident's response — not a file lost in a meeting tool. Sessions are asymmetric and mobile-first: the worker shares POV, the expert directs. Recordings are captured to your media library, transcribed, and summarized by AI so a written record lands on the work object automatically. An admin monitoring wall shows live and recent sessions across the organization — consensual only, never covert capture. Built on the open LiveKit WebRTC stack: run on the managed account or bring your own server for data residency. Turn it on per app, per tenant.

Highlights

"Get help" on a work order opens a live video session — a remote expert sees the field worker's phone-camera POV and guides them through the fix
Live remote inspections & audits without travel — an observer directs the camera and captures evidence in real time
Woven into the work, not a meeting app — every session is stapled to its work order / inspection / shift and recorded against the record
Built on an open WebRTC SFU (LiveKit) — managed by default, or bring your own self-hosted server for data residency

FAQ

Livestreaming is one-to-many broadcast (town halls). Zoom is scheduled peer meetings. Live Assist is interactive, asymmetric, work-embedded video — launched from a work object, mobile/POV-first, and recorded against the record — for frontline remote help and inspections.

No. Live Assist runs on managed LiveKit Cloud by default. Enterprise tenants can bring their own (cloud or self-hosted in-VPC) LiveKit under Admin → Integrations for data residency.

Each consuming app surfaces it in context — in Field Service, a "Get help" button on the work order. Turn it on per app under that app's settings; the Live Assist license + a LiveKit provider must both be configured.

No. Live Assist is consensual and work-context only — a worker invites help, an auditor is granted a session. There is no covert or always-on employee monitoring.
