About LiveAgent
LiveAgent runs a heavy maintenance cadence while quietly wiring in AI-agent billing
LiveAgent ships frequent, dense point releases dominated by bug fixes, security hardening, and performance work across its ticketing, chat, and call surfaces. Underneath the maintenance stream, it is standing up the plumbing for AI agents: credit-pool provisioning, AI budgets and top-ups, recent LLM model support, and signed MCP download links so agents can reach ticket attachments. A parallel API v3-to-v4 transition is underway, with datetime standardization and relabeled API keys.
