Do I need an account to talk to a NetShow Alive avatar?

No, not to meet one and not to take a first conversation.

On our front door, Mrs. NetShow greets you before you have signed up for anything, and the note under the box says it directly: a free, metered trial, no signup. The NetShow Alive agent page says the same about its own agent: no signup is needed for a trial conversation. The Alive page draws its faces in your browser as you scroll, and the Meet page introduces Mr. and Mrs. NetShow in preview, faces moving, at no cost to you.

An account comes in at three specific points, and each one is there for a reason.

Keeping the conversation. On the front door, the button says "Keep Mrs. NetShow": a free account keeps the conversation and what she has learned so far, so the next visit starts where this one ended. If you would rather not be remembered, the link "Ask me to forget you" is on the same page.

Live voice on the stage. The hosts on the Meet page say it plainly: live voice is not open to visitors yet. A free account opens the live stage, where you can talk with both of them.

Making your own. Meeting and trying need no account. Saving an agent of your own, so that it remembers you and answers on your site, opens with a free account, and the Studio says that is the only door on its page that asks for one.

A free account needs no credit card. The plans page shows what it includes, and our article on what a day with an agentic employee looks like shows what the agent does once you have one.
