Velt×
PlateJSAdd comments and co-editing, plus live presence, to your Plate editor, for your users and your AI agents. Threads stay pinned to the node tree as blocks move, and every agent edit lands as a suggestion your users approve, so a note on the callout block stays on the callout, not the paragraph that replaced it.
Free tier. No credit card. First comment in 5 minutes.

live cursors + a comment anchored to the selection · Yjs merges every keystroke
The problem
Your users expect to comment and co-edit in Plate, and your AI agents need that same editor with a human approving before they touch user work. Comments that survive Plate's block moves are a multi-quarter build, and the moment anchoring breaks, feedback lands on the wrong block. Co-editing is the harder half: rolled by hand it means overwrites, lost work, and merge conflicts, the "my changes disappeared" bug reports, plus a websocket fleet and offline merge to keep alive. And the harder question is your agents: a useful agent needs to change the work, but an agent with write access to user content is what your buyers' security review blocks, so without a consent step you choose between an agent that is useful and an agent that is safe. Every quarter spent on this is a quarter not spent on your own product.
Velt is the review and collaboration layer built for Plate: your users and your AI agents work the same editor, with comment threads anchored to the block, and every agent suggestion is a change a human approves before it lands.

Liveblocks syncs people and agents into your app's state; Velt adds the step Liveblocks does not, every agent change on Plate is a suggestion your user approves or rejects, on the record.

Adding Velt to PlateJS does not move that surface's content off your stack. Per-feature data providers keep comment content, attachments, and user PII on your own infrastructure; Velt stores only minimal identifiers.

Let's lead with this. Strongest angle we have, @Ethan can you tighten the wording?
