Getting Started

Step 1: Create Your Account

Go to claude.netshow.ai. In the top right corner of the homepage you'll see three links: Help, Sign In, and a highlighted Create free account button. Click Create free account.

You'll land on the "Get started with NetShow" registration page, with fields for:

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

Press Create Account when you're done.

Prefer one-click sign-up? You can also register with Google, Apple, Facebook, LinkedIn, GitHub, or Microsoft. Tap the button of the service you prefer and follow the prompts. Social sign-ups skip the email verification step below, since your provider has already confirmed your address.

Step 2: Verify Your Email

If you registered with an email and password, you'll see the Verify your email screen next: "One quick confirmation step unlocks your full NetShow workspace."

Open the email NetShow just sent you and click the confirmation link. Didn't receive it? Check your spam folder, then use the Resend verification email button on that same screen.

Once your email is confirmed, your workspace opens.

Step 3: Set Up Your First Agent

The first screen inside NetShow is a short setup wizard — four quick steps that build your first agent in under a minute. (In a hurry? A Skip for now button in the top corner takes you straight to your workspace; you can create an agent any time.)

1. Meet Your Agent. Give your agent a name — type your own or tap one of the suggested name chips. Then pick a personality:

• Friendly — warm & encouraging
• Professional — clear & structured
• Creative — imaginative & bold
• Direct — concise & decisive

2. What Can I Help With? Select one or more focus areas: Personal Assistant, Business Helper, Customer Support, Creative Partner, or Health & Wellness. Start with one — you can add more in settings later.

3. Let's Talk. A chat preview opens so you can say hello to your new agent before it's even finished. This is YOUR agent — it remembers you, learns your preferences, and gets better over time.

4. You're Ready! A summary card shows your agent's name, personality, and capabilities. Tap Create My Agent & Open Chat. Your agent starts building in the background and your chat opens — if setup takes a moment, you can keep exploring while NetShow finishes preparing everything.

Step 4: Your Dashboard

Your Dashboard is your home base in NetShow. Here's what you'll find:

Greeting banner at the top with a time-appropriate welcome ("Good morning, Sarah!") and one big amber button: Start Talking to Your Agent (or Create Your First Agent if you skipped the wizard). Next to it, Create New Agent starts another one.

Feature grid — tiles for everything your workspace includes: chat, phone agents, daily check-ins, agentic tasks, round tables, content creation, and more.

Your activity — stat cards showing Total Agents, Active Conversations, Agentic Tasks, and Phone Agents. These start at zero and grow as you use the platform.

Category tabs — your agents organized under Personal, Business, Entertainment, and Social Marketing. Each agent appears as a card with Chat and Edit Agent actions, and a search box helps once you have several.

Step 5: Test Drive Your Agent

Agent pages share a lifecycle breadcrumb across the top — Create → Test Drive → Deploy — so you always know where you are.

Open Test Drive and you'll enter a private chat with your agent. 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 focus area (if it's a support agent, ask a customer question)
• Test its personality — 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

Happy with how it responds? You're ready to deploy. Want to adjust its personality, knowledge, or behavior first? Open the agent editor with Edit Agent on its dashboard card.

Step 6: Add Knowledge (Optional but Powerful)

Your agent is smarter when it knows about your world. In the agent editor, find the Knowledge Base section and:

• Upload files — Drag documents and media into the upload area, or choose files manually. PDF, Word, text, Markdown, CSV, JSON, XML, images, audio, and video are all supported. Your agent reads and remembers them.
• Add a URL — Paste a public page or document link to ingest web content into your agent's memory.

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 7: Deploy Your Agent

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

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

Your deployment channels:

• Website chat 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 bubble visitors can tap. Step-by-step install instructions are included for popular site builders.
• Hosted share link — A ready-made public page for your agent. Share the link anywhere — no website needed.
• Phone and voice — Give your agent a phone number so it can answer calls.
• SMS — Let your agent hold text-message conversations.

Start with one channel. You can add more anytime.

Step 8: Watch It Work

After deploying, open the Growth Dashboard from the sidebar to monitor your agent's performance:

• Total Conversations — how many interactions your agent has had
• Leads Captured — qualified contacts collected from prospects
• Follow-Ups Sent — scheduled messages delivered on your behalf
• Average Response Time — how fast your agent replies

Mr. NetShow sums it up: "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 sources (Knowledge & Memory)
• Refine its personality — fine-tune tone, style, and behavior in the agent editor's Soul & Personality section (Configuring Your Agent)
• Choose its AI brain — pick which AI model powers your agent (Choosing Your AI Brain)
• Give it a voice — set up phone calls and voice conversations (Voice & Phone Setup)
• Build more agents — use the full creator for deeper control (Creating Your Agent)
• Explore content creation — have your agent create podcasts, images, and social posts (Content Creation)
• Browse the marketplace — find pre-built agents and skills (Marketplace Guide)

Every feature is reachable from your dashboard, and Mr. and Mrs. NetShow are always nearby with contextual suggestions for what to try next.

Welcome to NetShow. Your agent is ready to work.
