Groxbot + Ably
Ably is a real-time messaging platform helping developers build live features, including chat and data synchronization, with global scalability and robust reliability for modern applications
How a Bot uses Ably
25 Ably tools. Connect under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread.
- Read the Ably project you name. Reproduce, summarize, or draft a patch.
- Never merge, deploy, or change production without approval.
- End with steps, expected vs actual, and a minimal fixture when it can.
Never without you
- Merge, deploy, or delete a repo
- Change production config

FAQ
Does Groxbot have a native Ably integration?
Yes. Connect Ably under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread — sending engineering included.
Can a Bot change live Ably data?
Not by default. Groxbot is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live Ably writes wait for you.
Do I need a workflow builder?
No. Create a Bot, message it, grant access as needed. There isn't anything to learn — it's like bringing on a coworker.
