# Consumer-Built Bridges, Private Bridges, and Live Updates

> Consumers can now build Bridges with the agent, Bridges and sequences can be private, and Live updates control whether a Bridge keeps adding new rows.

## Overview

Reps can now build the Bridges they need themselves, keep them private while they work, and share them when they're ready. Builders and Admins also get a new **Live updates** setting to choose whether a Bridge keeps adding new rows or stays a snapshot.

## Consumers can build Bridges with the agent

Consumers can now build Bridges in order to enable large scale ad-hoc analysis by asking [Ask Starbridge](https://hc.starbridge.ai/consumers/ask-starbridge-chat.md) or through the [Starbridge MCP](https://hc.starbridge.ai/research/starbridge-mcp.md). Describe what you're looking for, and the agent builds the Bridge for you.

* Bridges a Consumer builds start private.
* Live updates stay off, so the Bridge keeps the rows it found. A Builder or Admin can turn Live updates on.
* Consumers can edit and delete the Bridges they built.

## Private or shared Bridges

Every Bridge now has a **Who can see this bridge** setting in its **Share** dialog:

* **Only me**: the Bridge is private. Only the creator can see it, including Admins and Builders.
* **Shared**: the usual sharing rules apply.

Consumers' Bridges start private by default, while Builders can continue to build bridges for the entire organization.

## Private or visible-to-everyone sequences

Sequences have their own setting: **Only me** keeps a sequence private, and **Everyone in my organization** makes it visible to everyone. See [Who can see a sequence](https://hc.starbridge.ai/sequences/managing-sequences.md#who-can-see-a-sequence).

## Live updates

A Bridge with **Live updates** on keeps looking for new rows every night. With Live updates off, the Bridge keeps its current rows and stops adding new ones, while its data, CRM, and scoring columns stay up to date. You'll see **Live**, **Off**, or **Manual** in the new **Updates** column of the Bridges table.

Turn Live updates on or off when you save a Bridge, or later from the Bridge's menu. Only Admins and Builders can change it.
