How Connected AI works: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or Cursor, connected to Live Producer over MCP, works with your shows as you, with your role, in the company you chose, traceably. What it may do on the platform and in the Studio, what it never does, and how to end it.
Connected AI is your own AI, Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or Cursor, connected to your Live Producer account so it can work with your shows for you. You ask in your own words; it reads and writes the show as you would, and says so when something is not yours to change.
Under the hood, Live Producer is a remote MCP server: the Model Context Protocol is the open standard the AI apps use to reach tools, and the platform speaks it over HTTPS behind the same sign-in as the web. The Studio on the show Mac is a second MCP server, local to that Mac. Every tool says whether it only reads, so the app runs a read without asking and asks you before a change.
Why connect your own AI
Section titled “Why connect your own AI”A showrunner plans in a chat where the notes already are. A contributor writes their part where they write everything else. The operator has Claude Code open on the show Mac. Connected AI brings Live Producer to them, so nobody copies text between windows or asks a second person for the routine: “start the November town hall with these four sections”, “put this talk track in my section and upload the clip”, “what does the show still need”, “set the Studio up for it”. Your AI’s own subscription does the thinking, so none of it counts against the company’s Spelvin actions.
The AI is you
Section titled “The AI is you”A connected app works through your account. On the consent screen you choose the company it works in and tick what it may do; from then on it can do what you can do there, with your role, and no more:
| You are | Your AI can |
|---|---|
| Admin | everything below, and invite members or change their roles |
| Showrunner | read every show, write and publish the script, start shows, give sections to people, bring files, keep the script skill, have Spelvin read a text |
| Contributor | read the shows you edit a section in, write and publish your own sections, bring the files for the parts in them, send feedback |
| Billing | nothing with the shows: there is nothing to connect |
What you did not tick, it cannot do; untick everything but reading for a read-only connection. What the list hides, the platform refuses anyway, in the words the web uses: “You edit Product only. Lucas or Maya can change Welcome.”
Every change is traceable to you and to the app. A version published from a chat says who published it and through which app; the show’s activity names both; Account › Connected AI shows when each app last worked. The app asks you before it changes anything.
What your AI can do on the platform
Section titled “What your AI can do on the platform”Your AI app lists the tools under Live Producer. In words; every tool with what it takes is in Connected AI tools:
| Ask it to | It uses | Who |
|---|---|---|
| List the shows and say where one stands: its sections and who edits them, what is still missing, the published version | show_list, show_get |
everyone; a contributor sees the shows they edit a section in |
| Read the script, or one section, and learn how your company writes | script_get, script_conventions |
everyone |
| Write the script, or one section, into the draft; publish the next version | script_send, script_publish |
whoever may edit the section, as on the web |
| Start a show from a script, or empty; give a section to someone and invite them | show_create, section_editors_set |
showrunners and admins |
| List the company’s files; upload the file for a part | file_list, file_upload |
everyone; a contributor for the parts in their own sections |
| See the company, its plan and this week’s Spelvin use; invite a member or change a role; keep the script skill | company_get, member_set, skill_update |
everyone sees the company; admins change roles; showrunners and admins keep the skill |
| Read the public Feedback or your own reports; send a problem or an idea | feedback_list, feedback_send |
everyone |
| Have Spelvin read a text in any shape into the show | spelvin_read_script |
showrunners and admins; 10 of the company’s Spelvin actions, only when you ask for it |
Your AI writes a script in the house format, which it learns from your company’s script skill and the conventions it is handed: sections as headings, a stage direction in brackets for every part, slide marks, notes and script tags in brackets. See Script structure. Sections and parts that match keep their identity, so a section sent again keeps its files and notes, and whoever has the page open sees the words land.
Your AI app may also offer three ready-made prompts: Write a script in the house format, What is missing before the show and What do I need to prepare.
What it can do in the Studio
Section titled “What it can do in the Studio”An AI tool on the same Mac as the Studio needs no sign-in: a tool on your Mac is you. It lists the tools under Live Producer Studio:
| Ask it to | It uses |
|---|---|
| Say what the open show looks like: the sources and their health, the layers and shots, what is on the program and in preview, recording and streams, the script and the prompter’s place, the Stream Deck’s pages | studio_state |
| Look at the program, the preview or the multiview | studio_picture |
| Put a shot in preview, by its name, ready for your Take | shot_preview |
| Pull the newest version of the web show into the show folder | script_pull |
| Propose the setup: stand-ins, layers and shots, Auto Out, Brings Along, a graphic’s fields | setup_propose |
| Propose the keys of a Stream Deck page | stream_deck_layout_propose |
Taking, recording, streaming, the prompter’s moves and the Stream Deck’s keys are the operator’s during the show: no connected app can do them, and a shot goes to preview only while Auto Live is off. A proposal never changes the show by itself: it opens in the Spelvin window under the app’s name, with Apply and Discard, as Spelvin’s own suggestions do, and applies as one edit you can undo. A proposal never removes anything. See Ask Spelvin to change the show.
Your AI and Spelvin
Section titled “Your AI and Spelvin”Spelvin is Live Producer’s own AI, in the subscription; a connected AI is yours. They work side by side. Your AI does what the tools above allow, free in actions. Spelvin does what needs Live Producer’s own side: it listens to the audio, looks at pictures, builds lower thirds and transitions, files feedback, and reads a text in any shape into the show. Your AI can ask Spelvin for that reading by name, at Spelvin’s usual price, only when you ask for it. See Spelvin.
Ending it
Section titled “Ending it”Account › Connected AI on the platform lists every connected app with its company, what it may do, since when and when it was last used; Revoke ends its access at once. In the Studio there is nothing to revoke: a tool on this Mac is you, and a tool on another device holds the Mac’s remote token, so a new token under Settings › This Mac › Remote shuts it out.
