Meet the alive agents
Open the page and a face looks up. It moves while it answers: it thinks, speaks, and gestures with the words. Every face on that page renders live in your browser right now.
That is the whole idea behind NetShow Alive. Most agents you have met are a text box with a name on it. An alive agent has presence — something that looks back and holds its side of the exchange. And the demonstration is the product. You do not have to believe a description of it, because it renders in front of you before you sign up for anything.
Ten agents, already at work
The cast on Meet the Agents is not a mood board. Every face there belongs to an agent with a job.
Caden works the front desk. He is an inbound receptionist, and the line on his card is the whole specification: the calm first hello, answers before the second ring. Christina points the other direction. She is an outbound caller who fronts a busy booth and keeps a full call list moving without losing warmth. Eli Syntax is a WordPress whisperer, a teacher at heart, happiest when the person on the other end is learning. Mr. NetShow is the company companion, built to be good company when what you need is a guide rather than an answer.
Four jobs, four temperaments. None of them is a demo of AI in general. Each one is a person-shaped answer to a situation somebody actually has: a phone nobody picks up, a call list nobody has time for, a customer who is stuck at step three, a visitor who cannot tell which button is the one for them.
The face is the uniform
Here is the part that usually gets buried, so it goes first: some agents share a cast face. The chip on each card says which one, so the sharing is visible on the shelf rather than discovered later.
That is not a shortcut. It is a wardrobe. The page puts it plainly: the face is the uniform, and the job and the voice are the agent's own. Two receptionists at two different companies can wear the same shirt and still be two different people, because the job, the voice, the instructions and the knowledge belong to the agent. What you choose when you pick a face is presentation, not personality.
The avatar has no meter
The embed kit prints the number in its own type: $0/min, $0/sec. The avatar has no meter. That page runs entirely in your browser.
So the presence layer adds no per-minute cost on top of your plan. What your plan buys is capacity — conversations a month, and voice minutes from Creator up. If you would rather run the thinking on your own model, the use door lets you: an agent's persona on your key, and the keys never touch NetShow. Voice minutes are the next section.
Putting a face on your own site is one .alive.json package and two lines to paste. The
embed kit preflights that package through
the estate's real gate, importing the same renderer code the product itself uses rather than a
second copy that could drift.
Voice is where the meter starts
Plainly, because this is the easiest place to be slippery: Free and Starter carry zero voice minutes. Voice begins at Creator, $29 a month, with 30 minutes a month. Professional, at $79, carries 120 minutes. Business, at $149, carries 500.
So a free account gives you a real agent having real conversations in web chat, and that agent will not speak. The face still renders. The text still works. Speech waits for $29, and the plans page shows every line of that ladder before you decide.
Talk to one first
Go meet the cast before you build anything. The faces render live, and you will know quickly whether presence is worth anything to your front desk or your call list: Meet the Agents. When one of them clicks, the Studio is where you pick a face and give it a job — the same two steps every agent on that page started with.
