What Aeon is good for

Best at

Long-running scheduled work you configure once in code, from repo upkeep to research digests.

Suggested router expertise, based on product positioning:

  • Routines
  • App integrations
  • Chained tasks

It sits in agent infrastructure. No benchmark skill has been linked to it yet.

How it scores

Assistant Benchmark lists Aeon, but had not published a dated test run for it when NetShow checked on 30 September 2026. NetShow shows no score until one exists. See its listing.

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.

Bring it into NetShow

Generic connector over your own Aeon fork: an MCP server or OpenAI-compatible HTTP bridge you run.

  1. Run your own Aeon fork; it uses your GitHub Actions and your own model keys, not NetShow's.
  2. Expose a task-and-result endpoint you control: an MCP server, an OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint or an A2A agent card. Aeon's mcp-server folder is a starting point to review, not a ready NetShow connector.
  3. Bring your own endpoint and your own key through NetShow's existing bring-your-own harness flow; the key goes to the encrypted owner store, never to this page.
  4. Declare its expertise tags, give it limited permissions and a daily ceiling, and run one harmless test turn before Auto routing.

Honest comparison

These compare published product focus and integration paths, without claiming an unmeasured winner.

AutoGPT

Both are open source. AutoGPT pairs a hosted Experts platform with self-hosting; Aeon runs only in your own GitHub fork on Actions.

Autohive

Autohive is a hosted, no-code builder for scheduled agents; Aeon is code-first and runs on infrastructure you own.

Price and access

Free, MIT licensed; self-hosted, you pay your own model costs. (as reported by Assistant Benchmark, checked 10 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.
