Eight looks, one voice
Whichever face a visitor's phone or computer draws, your agent speaks in the same voice, knows the same answers and says hello first.
-
Speaks first, and drives the page
Why a NetShow Alive avatar opens the conversation instead of waiting behind a button, what that looks like on our pages today, and what comes next.
-
Bring your agent home
One place where your agent's model, tools, memory and connections come together, with a face that greets people first.
-
The Studio shapes it, the Harness runs it
Studio is where you shape your agent and the Harness is the working layer that brings those choices together when it works; here is the difference on one page.
-
Five answers your talking website needs on day one
Before your agent greets a single visitor, teach it the five things nearly everyone asks first, in one box of the agent editor.
-
The Kinetic Typography look: the words are the face
Look 3 of 8 in NetShow Alive. No drawn face at all: what the agent says is what you watch, moving on the page as it speaks.
-
Change your look without rebuilding your agent
Your agent and its look are stored apart, so its picture, voice, rules and knowledge change on one screen while its face adapts to each visitor's device.
-
Picture story: a walk through the NetShow Studio
Six screens from the Studio page, top to bottom: the three doors, the four rooms, the six faces, the five-step road and the plans.
-
Why per-minute faces punish a busy day
When a talking face is billed by the minute, your busiest hour is your most expensive hour; a face drawn in the visitor's browser has no such meter.
-
A talking website or a contact form?
An honest look at when a contact form is enough for your business, and when a face that answers visitors right now is worth adding.
-
A greeter for your business and a tutor at home, from one Studio
The same Studio makes an agent that greets your customers and one that helps at your kitchen table.
-
Which look fits your business?
A short picker for the eight NetShow looks, by the kind of business you run and the phones and computers your visitors carry.
-
What a visitor sees in the first ten seconds
The panel, the face, the greeting caption, the first tap and the browser asking before the microphone opens, one moment at a time.
-
The Sketch-Line look: living ink
Look 2 of 8 in NetShow Alive. A hand-drawn line that listens, blinks and answers, and moves like ink on the page.
-
Try it before anyone else sees it
A new NetShow agent is private. How to try it in private, what the publish button switches on, and how to find your agent on the public shelf.
-
The lobby screen that talks all day
Put a talking face full screen on a TV, a kiosk or a projector, and keep it there all day at $0 a minute.
-
From your own FAQ to an agent that answers it
Turn the FAQ, pages and documents you already have into what your NetShow agent knows, check what it learned, and decide what it says when a question is outside it.
-
Does a NetShow Alive avatar cost anything per minute?
No. The face is drawn in your visitor's own browser, so it costs $0.00 per minute to run. The thinking and the voice are separate, and this is how they are counted.
-
Shape an agent in an afternoon
From a blank NetShow agent to one that does one job well: its name and role, its instructions, what it must never do, a face and a voice that speaks first.
-
A day with an agentic employee
What an agent with a job, a face and your knowledge does from the first visitor of the morning to the last one at night, and the edges it still has.
-
What a talking website knows, and what it says when it does not
Your agent answers from the knowledge you give it, follows the rule you write for the edge of what it knows, and does not answer on your site until you publish it and verify the site.
-
Give your agent a voice that fits your business
The voice is the first thing a stranger hears from you, so choose it the way you would choose your sign.
-
Paste one snippet and your website talks
One tag pasted into your site and one proof that the site is yours: the embed page step by step, speaking first per site, and how to take it off again.
-
The ASCII look: a face made of characters
Look 1 of 8 in NetShow Alive. A living face drawn in text glyphs that loads in kilobytes and runs anywhere text runs.
-
Your website should say hello first
A silent page waits for the visitor. A NetShow agent on your site shows its face, greets them in words you choose, speaks from their first tap and listens only if they allow it.
-
Every agent harness, brought home to one Alive avatar
The harness is what makes an agent work: its instructions, knowledge, memory and tools. NetShow Alive gives whatever runs your agent one face and one voice that greet people first.
-
A talking website for a one-person business
When you are the owner and the receptionist, the agent on your site takes the first conversation and you decide what comes back to you.
-
Twelve questions to ask before you hire an AI employee (and our straight answers)
What it can do without asking, what it may never do, where your data lives, what it costs, how it speaks, and how you stop it. Twelve questions, each with an answer that is true today.
-
An hour on screen costs what a minute costs

One face, many brains: the NetShow Harness and its router, explained without jargon
You talk to one avatar. It hands each job to the right AI model and tool, keeps spend under a daily ceiling, asks before it spends or acts, and keeps the receipts.
-
Your website works nights now
The visitor who arrives after you close is greeted by a face that speaks first and answers from what you taught it.
-
Voice-first: why a NetShow Alive avatar talks before you type
A NetShow Alive avatar is built to be spoken with. Tap to talk and use your voice; typing stays there for the moments you cannot speak.

The $0.00-per-minute face: the economics of NetShow Alive

-
