Welcome to LiveQ Documentation

LiveQ is an AI invisible assistant designed to help you manage meetings and tasks through voice-driven interaction. This documentation will guide you through every aspect of the platform, from installation to advanced agent configuration.

Desktop Agent

Your companion app for screen recording, audio capture, and real-time AI assistance during sessions.

Web Dashboard

The command center for managing agents, reviewing session analytics, and configuring your workspace.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up your LiveQ environment and start your first AI-assisted session.

1. Create an Account

Sign up on the web platform. You'll start with a free tier that includes 10 credits to explore the capabilities of our AI agents.

2. Download the Desktop App

The desktop application is required to capture audio and screen context for the AI.

3. Install & Permissions

After installation, launch the app. You will need to grant permissions for:

  • Screen Recording: To see what you see.
  • Microphone: To hear the conversation.
  • Accessibility: For global hotkeys.

Desktop Application

The LiveQ Desktop App sits quietly in your background, ready to assist you whenever you need it.

Core Features

Global Shortcuts

  • Hide/Show WindowCmd + H
  • Toggle ThemeCmd + T
  • Move WindowCmd + Arrows
  • Adjust OpacityCmd + [ / ]
  • Switch MonitorCmd + Shift + M

Smart Context

The app intelligently captures screen content and audio to provide context-aware suggestions without you having to type a prompt.

Session Management

When you start a session, the desktop app streams encrypted audio and visual data to our secure processing engine. You can pause or stop the session at any time from the floating control bar.

Note: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We prioritize client confidentiality above all else.

Zoom Settings

Zoom needs one extra setting before LiveQ is fully hidden from your screen share. It takes about 30 seconds and only has to be done once.

Why this is needed: Zoom's default screen capture mode ignores window filtering, so excluded windows can still appear in the shared picture. Switching to advanced capture makes Zoom respect the filter and keeps the LiveQ window out of the share.

1Open your Zoom profile menu

In the Zoom desktop app, click your profile picture in the top-right corner.
