How it works inside a NetShow alive agent
Bridge candidate It is reachable through an everyday channel such as text, a chat app or the web, but no public programmatic interface was found, so it would join through a bridge the owner runs and NetShow reviews.
- 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
Free to start; paid plans. (as reported by Assistant Benchmark, checked 9 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.
