# Update Presence

> Reports the authenticated user's presence: their `status` (`online` or `typing`) and optionally the `location` they are viewing. The user is always taken from the authenticated session, so callers cannot report presence on behalf of anyone else. Updates only broadcast to other members when the status or location actually changes.

  title: Replica API
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >-
    The Replica API allows you to programmatically manage cloud workspaces for
    AI agents. Use this API to manage environments (the org-scoped primitive
    workspaces are created from — including variables, files, skills, MCPs, warm
    hooks, start hooks, and warm pools), create and manage replicas, send
    messages, manage chats, stream events, read connected repositories and
    repository sets, and configure automations.

      Manage environments — the primitive that workspaces are created from.
      Variables, files, skills, MCPs, warm-hooks, and warm-pools are all scoped
      to an environment. Every organization has a singleton Global environment
      whose values apply to every workspace. Personal environments are scoped to
      the authenticated user and can be standalone or source-backed by a team
      environment.

      Repositories are the underlying GitHub-connection layer; bind them to an
      environment to use them in workspaces.

      Read and report ephemeral member presence: who is online, where they are
      (environment or workspace), and whether they are typing. Presence is
      backed by short-lived keys rather than the database and broadcast to other
      members over the events stream.
