In the article, German Velasco highlights the capabilities of the new `start_async/3` function included in LiveView 0.20, which is part of the Phoenix framework. This function allows developers to perform asynchronous operations easily. Unlike the previously discussed `assign_async` helper, `start_async/3` can be used for more general async tasks, offering process isolation and error handling akin to `assign_async`. Developers can define a task using `start_async/3` and then manage the outcomes of these tasks with the `handle_async/3` function. Velasco emphasises the ease of use provided by these helpers and points towards the async operations documentation for more detailed information.
