A greeter for your business and a tutor at home, from one Studio

Hosted by Mrs. NetShow

Most owners I meet have two lives. There is the business, with its phone that rings after hours. And there is home, with homework on the table and a week to plan. Both could use a patient helper who knows the details.

The NetShow Studio makes both from the same place. Its section called "Put it in your life" says it in one line: "A tutor for the kids, an assistant in your pocket, a greeter for your business." Same Studio, same steps, two very different jobs.

One Studio, two jobs

Every agent starts the same way. A free account opens the Studio, where you name your agent, teach it your business, and pick its face and voice. No code. The Studio walks you through every step.

What changes is what you teach it and where you let it live. A greeter learns your hours, your services and your prices. A helper at home learns whatever you want it to help with. The steps do not change. The knowledge and the door do.

The greeter: your front door, open all night

Your website already has visitors when you are asleep. Right now they read a page and leave. A greeter changes that.

Put your agent on your site, once we switch it on, and it answers from your knowledge every hour you are closed. It takes one tag pasted into your pages and one proof that the site is yours. The embed page hands you both, and our website guide walks each step.

Once your site is verified, and speaking first is on for your account, a switch sits beside it: Speak first on this site. Turn it on and your agent greets visitors as the page opens, out loud where the browser allows. A stranger lands, hears a friendly hello and knows someone is home.

The microphone stays theirs. It opens only when the visitor taps Talk, and the browser asks first. A visitor who would rather not talk can type.

What to teach a greeter

Teach it what your front desk answers every day. In the agent editor, the Knowledge tab has a box called Knowledge Text. Paste in your services page, your opening hours, your returns policy. A pasted FAQ works well: a question on one line, the answer under it.

Then write its limits in plain sentences. Soul MD, on the Personality tab, is the natural place for lines it must never cross, like never promising a delivery date. Our guide shape what your agent knows covers every box.

The tutor: a patient helper at home

The Studio's road puts it simply: your agent "runs in the browser, on any device, for homework help, planning, or company." Nothing to install. A laptop at the kitchen table works, and so does a phone.

A new agent is private. You can talk to it, test it and tune it, and nobody else can reach it. For a helper at home, that may be all you ever need. You never have to publish it.

What to teach a tutor

Give it a clear job, the same way you would for a greeter. "Homework helper for a ten-year-old" is more useful than "assistant." Paste what it should work from into Knowledge Text: the spelling list, the times tables, the reading log.

Write its manners into Soul MD. Ask it to explain a step rather than hand over the answer. Ask it to keep things short and kind. Then press Talk at the top of the editor and hear how it sounds before anyone else does.

Why the same Studio matters

Two helpers from one place means you learn the steps once. The face, the voice, the knowledge box and the rules all sit where you left them. Build the tutor on a Sunday, and the greeter on Monday feels familiar.

It also means you can try before you choose. Meeting an agent is free. Trying one is free. Creating your own starts free. The free plan starts you with one agent, so begin with the job that matters most. When you want a second helper, plans add capacity.

FAQ

Can one account make both a business agent and a personal one?

Yes. The free plan starts you with one agent, and plans add room for more. The Studio makes each one the same way. What you teach it and where you put it decide its job.

Does a helper at home have to be public?

No. A new agent is private. You can talk to it and tune it, and nobody else can reach it unless you publish it.

Will the greeter on my website listen to visitors without asking?

No. The microphone opens only when a visitor taps Talk, and the browser asks for permission first. Visitors can type instead.

What does the greeter answer from?

From what you teach it. Paste your hours, services and FAQ into Knowledge Text on the Knowledge tab, then test it with Talk.

Your next step

Pick the job that would help you most this week. For many owners it is the greeter, because the website is already getting visitors after hours. For others it is the helper at the kitchen table.

Either way, the road starts at the same place. Open the Studio, meet a living agent and hear how it greets you. Try one with a real question, no signup and no card. Then make your own, keep it private while you shape it, and decide where it lives when it sounds right.
