How it works inside a NetShow alive agent
Watch list Access is limited (a waitlist, a closed beta or an unidentified product) or no way in was established in the sources checked, so NetShow watches it rather than routing work to it.
- Your agent stays itself. Its face, voice and memory stay NetShow's. The harness works behind it.
- You pair the harness. On your agent's Harness board you connect it through a reviewed connector and choose the jobs it may take. An agent can hold up to five harnesses.
- The router hands it the job. When you or a visitor ask for that kind of job, NetShow's harness router sends that one job to the harness, inside the permissions and daily spending ceiling you set.
- The answer comes home. Your agent says the answer in its own voice. If the harness cannot answer, NetShow's own House harness does.
Price and access
Invite-only research preview; price not stated. (as reported by Assistant Benchmark, checked 11 September 2026)
Any cost of the harness itself is between you and its maker. NetShow never pays for or signs up to it on your behalf.
