The biggest UX mistake with AI agents: Making the user stare at a spinner for 60 seconds. Even if the job is running in the background, your UI should feel 'Realtime'. Here is how to stream background updates to the frontend 🧵

Standard background jobs are 'Fire and Forget'. frontend -> POST /api/job backend -> Job ID: 123 frontend -> Polls /api/job/123 every 5s... This feels slow and clunky.

We built 'Realtime' streams to bridge this gap. Your background agent can 'emit' updates as it thinks: "Reading file..." "Analyzing data..." "Drafting response..." Your React frontend subscribes to these events instantly.
