Build MVP apps with AI, then add real-time features in minutes

You're using Cursor, Claude, and Replit to build apps faster than ever. Now add the missing piece: live chat, real-time collaboration, and interactive features that make your MVPs feel production-ready.

Problem

AI coding tools are amazing at building sleek UIs and solid backends, but they fall short when it comes to real-time magic. Your MVPs need live features to validate user engagement and prove product-market fit.

Solution

PubNub bridges the gap between AI-generated code and real-time user experiences. Add live features to your AI-coded apps in minutes, not months.

94%

of developers now use AI coding tools daily, but only 23% know how to add real-time features to their apps

While AI platforms excel at rapid prototyping and beautiful interfaces, they struggle with the complexities of real-time infrastructure, WebSocket management, and live data synchronization. This creates a gap where MVPs look great but lack the interactive features needed to truly engage users and validate product-market fit.

 Real-Time Superpowers

Live Chat & Messaging

Add chat to any app with a few lines of code. Handle thousands of concurrent users without breaking a sweat.

Real-Time Collaboration

Real-Time Collaboration: Cursors, presence indicators, and collaborative editing - just like Figma, but for your app.

Live Data Sync

Keep everyone's screens in sync. Sports scores, stock prices, game states - updated instantly across all devices.

Interactive Features

Live reactions, polls, notifications, and engagement tools that turn passive users into active participants.

Auto-Moderation

Prevent conflicting updates and data loss with deterministic message ordering and server-client reconciliation that keeps every session in sync.

Serverless & Scalable

No infrastructure to manage. We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on building.

Works seamlessly with your favorite AI coding tools

Our Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connects directly to Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other AI assistants. Just ask your AI to add real-time features, and it knows exactly how to use PubNub.

1

Connect: Install the PubNub MCP Server in your AI coding environment

2

Ask: Tell your AI assistant what real-time features you want

3

Deploy: Get production-ready code with proper error handling and best practices

4

Build MVPs that actually engage users

You're using AI tools to rapidly prototype and validate ideas. But static MVPs don't capture the full user experience. Real-time features like live chat, collaborative editing, and instant updates are what make users stick around and provide meaningful feedback.

Transform your AI-generated prototypes into interactive experiences that prove product-market fit faster.

I built a collaborative whiteboard app in 2 hours using Cursor and PubNub. The AI understood exactly what I needed, and PubNub handled all the complex real-time stuff automatically.
