Using 'in the current moment' or 'at the living moment'?

Question

I'm having a discussion with someone online and it takes each of us a day to respond, so I told him 
'We should converse at the current moment instead of after a few days', would there have been a better way to say this?

The expression you're looking for is real time:

[Merriam-Webster]
  : the actual time during which something takes place
  // the computer may partly analyze the data in real time (as it comes in)
  — R. H. March
  // chatted online in real time

So:

"This is taking too long. We should have a real-time conversation."
"I don't like waiting to hear from you. We should talk in real time."
