PubNub Unveils AI-Native Features for Faster, Smarter Real-Time App Development

PubNub Evolves Its Platform with AI-Native Development, Real-Time Moderation, and Decision Intelligence SAN FRANCISCO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—PubNub, a pioneer in real-time interactive applications, has announced significant enhancements to its platform. These updates include AI-native development, real-time decision intelligence, and in-network content moderation, designed to empower developers to build and scale more efficiently while accessing the full capabilities of PubNub. "The world now expects real-time, intelligent experiences," Todd Greene, CEO of PubNub, remarked. "Our evolved platform integrates AI, analytics, and moderation directly into the developer workflow, enabling the creation of safer, smarter apps with reduced latency and increased impact." These new capabilities allow developers to create engaging, real-time applications such as multiplayer games, collaborative tools, and healthcare platforms more swiftly and with greater control. New Capabilities That Redefine Real-Time Generative AI Coding with MCP Server PubNub’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server bridges the gap between large language models (LLMs) and live software development kits (SDKs). This integration enables developers to generate real-time features like chat, presence, and synchronization using a simple prompt, eliminating the need to leave their integrated development environment (IDE) or sift through documentation. For example, popular AI-powered IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf can now be seamlessly linked to PubNub, streamlining the development process. AI-Powered Auto-Moderation The BizOps Workspace introduces built-in content filtering that operates within the network cluster itself. This serverless module can scan messages for profanity, abuse, and spam in less than 500 milliseconds, ensuring a safe user experience. Developers benefit from a no-code interface, allowing them to implement preset rules or integrate third-party tools without any backend setup. Decision Intelligence with PubNub Illuminate & Insights PubNub’s decision-making tools, Illuminate and Insights, offer product and engineering teams the ability to monitor and optimize live applications in real time. Through no-code dashboards, these tools provide real-time anomaly detection and automate rules for optimizing user flows and testing changes. This enables teams to respond dynamically to user behavior without the need for redeployment, enhancing the overall application performance and user satisfaction. "By integrating generative coding, real-time decision engines, and in-network moderation, we are closing the gap between ideation and execution," said Stephen Blum, CTO of PubNub. "Developers can now build better applications faster and scale with confidence."
