How it scores
Assistant Benchmark lists Iris, 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 through the vendor: ask Iris for an endpoint for the agents it builds for your company.
- Keep your own Iris deployment and its approval rules; NetShow does not replace them.
- Ask Iris for a task endpoint for your agents, offered as an MCP server, an OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint or an A2A agent card.
- 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.
- 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.
