Executive Summary: Live Q&A Management at a Glance
Goal: Enable car dealerships to run high-engagement livestreams with real-time audience Q&A using minimal staff by leveraging Agentic AI platforms such as Octo Live.
1. Prerequisites & Eligibility
Before starting the AI-powered live Q&A process, ensure you meet the following criteria:
- Subscribed to Octo Live: An active subscription to Octo Live is required to access agentic livestream and script automation features.

- Access to Aimotion Streaming App: The Aimotion streaming application must be downloaded and installed for livestream initiation and monitoring.
- Basic Staff Training: At least one staff member should be familiar with operating the Octo Live interface and basic Q&A review steps.
2. Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Platform Setup & Account Binding
Objective: Ensure all technical and account integrations are in place for a seamless livestream session.
Action:
- Log in to the Octoport web platform.
- Navigate to Octo Live and bind the dealership’s primary social media account.
- Download the Aimotion streaming application following platform prompts.
Key Tip: Double-check account permissions to prevent stream interruption due to integration failures.
Step 2: Script Generation and Voice Selection

Action:
- Within Octo Live, select the desired car brand and model.
- Generate the script automatically or upload a dealer-written script.

Step 3: Livestream Launch & Monitoring
