- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
-
Yes. The service provides HTTP-based APIs and supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, available on request. Authorised users can use the API to integrate Overshow with other systems, configure organisational settings, manage access controls, and exchange data required to support AI-assisted workflows.
Through the API, users can set up aspects of the service such as configuration parameters, policy settings, and approved integrations, subject to role-based access controls. Ongoing changes, including updates to configuration, prompts or connected data sources, can also be managed via the API where enabled.
API access is restricted to authorised administrators and service components. Certain sensitive actions, such as core application installation, local device configuration or security-critical changes, are not exposed via the API and must be performed through approved service processes. API availability, scope and documentation are provided on request. - API documentation

- Customisation available
- Yes
- Description of customisation
-
Buyers can customise the service to meet organisational and operational requirements. Customisable elements include user roles and permissions, access policies, AI prompts and behaviours, approved data sources, integrations, and workflow configurations.
Customisation is primarily carried out through administrative configuration interfaces or, where enabled, via the service API. Administrators can enable or restrict features, define usage policies, manage integrations with enterprise systems, and control how AI-assisted functionality is applied within the organisation.
Authorised buyer administrators are responsible for organisational-level customisation. End users can personalise aspects of their own experience, such as interaction preferences, saved queries, or notification settings, within the limits set by administrators.
More advanced configuration, bespoke integrations, or changes to service behaviour can be delivered by San Digital as part of onboarding or through agreed change requests. All customisation is subject to role-based access controls and security policies, and does not affect the underlying platform or other customers.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- The service separates customers through a combination of buyer-managed local execution and logically isolated centrally managed service components. Centrally managed resources are monitored and controlled to prevent one organisation’s usage from adversely affecting others. Local processing is isolated per device and user. Where applicable, limits and controls are applied to centrally managed components to ensure fair usage.
Analytics
- Service usage metrics
- Yes
- Metrics types
- The service provides usage and operational metrics to help buyers understand how centrally managed service components are being used.

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- We target 99.5% monthly availability, excluding planned maintenance. Service credits may be applied where availability falls below this level, as defined in the contract.
- Approach to resilience
- The service is designed with resilience across centrally managed service components, including licensing, configuration and update services, hosted in UK-based datacentres on a hyperscale cloud platform. These components use fault-tolerant architectures, automated health checks and redundancy. Core assistant functionality runs on buyer-managed devices, where resilience depends on the buyer’s local environment and device management controls. Detailed resilience and recovery information for centrally managed components is available on request.
- Outage reporting
- Outages affecting centrally managed service components are reported via email alerts and the support ticketing system. Where relevant, infrastructure-related incidents may be referenced through the underlying cloud provider’s public service health dashboard. Local assistant functionality on buyer-managed devices is not dependent on central service availability. Major incidents are communicated until resolution, with post-incident summaries available on request.

Threat intelligence is sourced from cloud provider advisories, vendor notifications, industry best practice sources and public vulnerability databases such as CVE listings.
- Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
- The service uses logging, monitoring and alerting to identify unusual or potentially malicious activity. Logs are reviewed and alerts investigated to identify potential compromises. When a potential incident is identified, access may be restricted, affected components isolated, and investigation initiated in line with the incident management process. Incidents are prioritised by severity, with critical incidents responded to as soon as practicable. Buyers are informed of confirmed security incidents in accordance with contractual and regulatory requirements.
- Incident management type
