Each complete AI response then appears as one message in the channel history while delivering live tokens in realtime. This uses [Ably Pub/Sub](/docs/basics) for realtime communication between agents and clients.
 
 This pattern is useful for chat-style applications where you want each complete AI response stored as a single message in history, making it easy to retrieve and display multi-response conversation history. Each agent response becomes a single message that grows as tokens are appended, allowing clients joining mid-stream to catch up efficiently without processing thousands of individual tokens.

 This pattern is useful when clients only care about the most recent part of a response and you are happy to treat the channel history as a short sliding window rather than a full conversation log. For example:
 
 - **Backend-stored responses**: The backend writes complete responses to a database and clients load those full responses from there, while Ably is used only to deliver live tokens for the current in-progress response.
-- **Live transcription, captioning, or translation**: A viewer who joins a live stream only needs the last few tokens for the current "frame" of subtitles, not the entire transcript so far.
+- **Live transcription, captioning, or translation**: A viewer who joins a live stream only needs sufficient tokens for the current "frame" of subtitles, not the entire transcript so far.
 - **Code assistance in an editor**: Streamed tokens become part of the file on disk as they are accepted, so past tokens do not need to be replayed from Ably.
 - **Autocomplete**: A fresh response is streamed for each change a user makes to a document, with only the latest suggestion being relevant.
