How it works inside a NetShow alive agent

Bring your own harness NetShow connects to the Ollie harness you run, through your own HTTPS endpoint and key; while pairing is in build, we connect it for you on a build call. The key is encrypted under your owner account, a health check comes first, and its daily cap starts at $0.

Bring it into NetShow

Generic connector through a permitted owner-run bridge; no published task endpoint verified

  1. Keep your own Ollie account or working runtime. The checked official pages do not establish a public delegate-to-assistant task endpoint.
  2. Ask the maker for a supported integration, or use a permitted owner-run bridge exposing an MCP server, OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint or A2A agent card. A website URL, connected app or consumer message thread is not that endpoint.
  3. Provide your own bridge endpoint and private authorization on your NetShow agent’s Harness board. Keep model/provider keys on your runtime; no automatic signup or paid deployment happens here.
  4. Declare only the expertise and permissions you allow, complete the connector review and verify a harmless answer before routing work. Without a supported bridge this entry remains research.

Honest comparison

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

Orbits includes shared calendars, chores, meals and approved calls in its home app; Ollie emphasizes text-based family email and calendar assistance.

Norton Family Assistant advertises an App Store experience and requires Gmail at setup; Ollie presents a text-first way to organize calendars and to-dos.

Price and access

Free to start; optional paid plans based on message usage, according to the official FAQ. (official page, checked 1 October 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.
