Getting Started

Step 1: Create Your Account

Go to netshow.ai and click "Get Your Agent" — the amber button in the top right corner.

You'll see the registration form with fields for:

• First name and Last name — how NetShow addresses you
• Email — this becomes your login (use an email you check regularly)
• Password — choose something secure

You can also sign up with one click using Google, LinkedIn, GitHub, or Apple. Tap the logo of the service you prefer and follow the prompts.

Once you submit, you'll land in your new NetShow workspace. That was the hard part — and it took 30 seconds.

Step 2: Choose Your Path

The first screen you see is the Segment Selector. It asks a simple question: "What would you like your AI agent to help with?"

You'll see cards representing different paths. Each card is large and tappable — no tiny buttons to hunt for. Pick the one that fits your needs best.

Don't overthink this — it just tailors your initial experience. You can access everything regardless of what you choose here.

Step 3: Meet the Templates

Next, you'll see the Welcome screen with agent templates. These are pre-built starting points:

• Customer Support — Answers FAQs, routes issues, captures contact info
• Sales Representative — Qualifies leads, books demos, follows up
• Personal Assistant — Manages your day, reminds you about tasks, handles email
• Content Creator — Writes posts, generates images, creates social content
• Booking Agent — Schedules appointments, sends confirmations, handles calendars
• Custom — Start from scratch with full control

Our recommendation for your first agent: Pick the template closest to what you need. You can customize everything later. The template just gives you a smart starting point.

Tap your choice. You'll be taken to the agent creation form.

Step 4: Create Your Agent

This is where the magic starts. The creation form asks for just a few things:

Agent Name: Give your agent a name. This is how it introduces itself to you and others. Pick something that feels right — "Alex" for a business assistant, "Luna" for a creative partner, "Sam" for a family helper. Anything you like.

Category: Choose where this agent fits — Personal, Business, Pleasure, or Social. This helps organize your dashboard if you create multiple agents later.

AI Brain (Provider): This is NetShow's signature feature. Choose which AI model powers your agent:

• OpenAI (GPT) — Best voice quality, widest capabilities. The safe default.
• Claude (Anthropic) — Deepest reasoning. Great for analysis and writing.
• Gemini (Google) — Most affordable. 70+ languages. Google Search built in.
• Grok (xAI) — Most personality. Real-time X/Twitter data.

Not sure which to pick? Start with OpenAI. It's the most versatile. You can always switch later — your agent's memory and knowledge stay the same when you change models.

Tap Create Agent and your agent comes to life.

Step 5: Your Dashboard

After creating your agent, you land on your Dashboard — your home base in NetShow.

Here's what you'll see:

Welcome banner at the top with a time-appropriate greeting ("Good morning, Sarah!") and a context-aware suggestion from Mrs. NetShow. If you just created your first agent, she'll suggest testing it.

Stat cards showing your total agents, conversations, active agents, and leads captured. These start at zero and grow as you use the platform.

Your agent card — a visual card showing your agent's name, status (Draft), and quick action buttons for editing, testing, and deploying.

Onboarding checklist — a progress tracker showing your journey: Created account ✓ → Created agent ✓ → Add knowledge → Test drive → Deploy. Follow this path and you'll have a fully operational agent in minutes.

Step 6: Test Drive Your Agent

This is the fun part. Tap the Test Drive button on your agent's card (or follow the lifecycle breadcrumb at the top of the screen).

You'll enter a private chat interface — just you and your agent. This is a sandbox. Nobody else can see it. Nothing goes live. You can't break anything.

Mr. NetShow appears with a reassuring message: "This is a safe sandbox. Chat naturally with your agent to see how it responds. Nothing here goes live until you deploy."

Try these conversations:

• Say hello and see how your agent introduces itself
• Ask it about something related to its role (if it's a support agent, ask a customer question)
• Test its personality — is it too formal? Too casual? You can adjust this later in the editor
• Ask it something it doesn't know — a good agent gracefully handles uncertainty

If you're happy with how it responds, you're ready to deploy. If you want to adjust its personality, knowledge, or behavior, head to the Agent Editor (tap "Edit" on the agent card).

Step 7: Add Knowledge (Optional but Powerful)

Your agent is smarter when it knows about your world. In the Agent Editor, find the Knowledge tab and:

• Paste text — Copy your FAQ, product descriptions, services list, or any relevant information and paste it directly
• Upload files — Drag PDF, Word, or text files into the upload area. Your agent reads and remembers them.
• Add URLs — Point your agent to web pages it should know about

The more relevant knowledge you provide, the more helpful your agent becomes. A real estate agent's AI with your complete property listings is far more useful than one that has to guess.

Step 8: Deploy Your Agent

When you're ready for your agent to meet the world, tap Deploy in the lifecycle breadcrumb.

Mrs. NetShow appears: "Choose one or more channels for your agent. You can always change these settings later — nothing is permanent."

Your deployment options:

• Website Widget — Get a code snippet to embed a chat widget on your website. Copy the code, paste it into your site's HTML, and your agent appears as a chat icon visitors can tap.
• Phone Number — Choose a local or toll-free number. Your agent answers calls on this number 24/7.
• SMS — Enable text messaging on your phone number.

Start with one channel. You can add more anytime.

Step 9: Watch It Work

After deploying, visit the Growth section to monitor your agent's performance:

• Conversations handled — How many interactions your agent has had
• Leads captured — Contact information collected from new prospects
• Response quality — How well your agent is handling questions

Mr. NetShow appears: "These numbers update as your agent handles real conversations. Higher engagement means your agent is earning trust."

What's Next?

You now have a working AI agent. From here, you can:

• Deepen its knowledge — Upload more documents, add more context
• Refine its personality — Adjust its tone, style, and communication approach in the Soul section
• Add capabilities — Enable web search, calendar integration, email handling in the Tools section
• Explore content creation — Have your agent create videos, images, and social posts
• Browse the marketplace — Find pre-built agents for specific use cases
• Set up automation — Configure daily check-ins and workflow triggers

Every feature is accessible from your dashboard sidebar. And Mr. and Mrs. NetShow are always there with contextual suggestions for what to try next.

Welcome to NetShow. Your agent is ready to work.
