How it scores
Assistant Benchmark lists Ka, 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 only: ka publishes no task endpoint today, so there is nothing to pair yet.
- Keep using your own ka account; NetShow does not act as ka or sign in for you. It lives in your Messages thread.
- Ask the maker for a supported integration; when one exists, or you run a permitted bridge, expose it 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.
HireAlpha
HireAlpha also lives in iMessage but splits help into three $19 personas; ka is one assistant with a free plan that also plans with friends' ka assistants.
Checked 1 October 2026. Source 1 Source 2
Maxi
Maxi is also an iMessage assistant, focused on money (spending, bills, split costs); ka covers email, docs, calendar and plans with friends.
Price and access
$14.99/mo. (as reported by Assistant Benchmark, checked 16 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.
