Already built an agent somewhere else?

Hosted by Mr. NetShow

Maybe you already have an agent. You built it in a workflow tool, or you run a coding agent on your own computer, or someone wrote you a script that does one job well. It works. What it lacks is a face, a voice and a front door where strangers can meet it.

The NetShow Harness page has a section for you. It is headed Bring your own harness, and it opens with one plain instruction: "Start with a connection recipe for the harness you use."

This post walks through those recipe cards, what each label means, and what connecting looks like once you sign in.

What a connection recipe is

A recipe is a card for one kind of agent setup. It names the setup and says, in its own words, whether NetShow can pair with it today.

When we wrote this, the page listed fifteen cards: BetterClaw, CellCog, Claude Code, Headless CLI agent, Codex, CrewAI, DeepSeek Harness, Grok, Hermes, Instinct, LangGraph, Muse, n8n, OpenClaw and True Forge. The list can grow, and each card's readiness can change, so the page is the place to check.

Read the label first

Every card carries one of two labels. They are the most honest part of the page, so read them before anything else.

• Recipe ready. The card tells you how to connect. The Codex card, for example, reads: "Connect Codex using your private code. It signs in with your own subscription." The LangGraph card reads: "Connect your own LangGraph agent using your private code. It runs on your computer with the model account you choose."
• Not connectable yet. The card says what is missing. The CrewAI card says: "This family still needs a reviewed connection path." The BetterClaw card explains: "Not connectable until the owner chooses a paid account and supplies BetterClaw's inbound task and answer contract."
• The Grok card is blunt: "Grok Bot works on xAI's own cloud computer and takes no tasks from outside programs. It can add NetShow as a connector. That door is not open yet."

One sentence on the page sits above every card, and it matters most: "a listed recipe does not mean its connection is enabled for your account." A card is a recipe. It is not a switch that is already on.

Why so many cards say no

Several cards tell you plainly that they cannot connect. We think that is the right call.

The CellCog card says: "CellCog is a paid media service, not a pairing harness." The Muse card says: "Meta Muse works in Meta's cloud and takes no tasks from outside programs." An honest no on a card saves you an afternoon of trying.

What connecting looks like

The page is clear about where the real work happens: "Pairing happens privately after you sign in." Our owner guide walks the steps.

1. Open your agent's page and find the Harness agents link. Its line reads: "Bring your own agent home to your avatar."
2. Under Attach your agent, give it an Agent name and choose its Agent family.
3. Press Attach. The board shows a one-time code, with the line "Enter this code in the connector on your own machine. It is shown only here."
4. Run the connector on your own computer and enter the code there.

When it connects, your agent appears under Your harness home, with Reconnect and Detach beside it. Detach sends it home again.

What your agent does once it is home

Your own agent joins as a helper, not as the boss. The board says so in its first line: "Your avatar coordinates. Your own harness agent comes home as an observer."

A few rules follow from that, all from our guides:

• Your agent receives only the text you choose to send it. The board's question box says: "Only this question goes to your harness. Its answer stays here for you to read."
• Connecting does not share your avatar's memory or let a harness spend through NetShow.
• Only one of your own agents can be home with an avatar at a time.
• If your agent stops answering, your NetShow agent keeps going. The Harness card says it "falls back to House" after a few seconds.

Your visitors still meet your NetShow agent, voice-first and hands-free. It speaks first in NetShow's own voice. A visitor's microphone opens only after the visitor taps.

Coding agents on your own subscription

Claude Code and Codex are coding agents that run on your own computer. Their cards both say the same thing about sign-in: "It signs in with your own subscription." Our guide adds that NetShow does not sell or provide either one.

If you use one of them, Connect Claude Code or Codex walks each step. If you run n8n, OpenClaw or a script of your own, read Connect n8n, OpenClaw or your own script.

FAQ

Does "Recipe ready" mean my agent is already connected?

No. The page says a listed recipe does not mean its connection is enabled for your account. Nothing is paired until you press Attach and enter the one-time code on your own computer.

My agent runs from the command line. Is there a card for it?

Yes. The Headless CLI agent card is for that case. Our guide for n8n, OpenClaw and your own script covers a script you call from the command line.

Will my own agent hear my visitors' conversations?

Only what you send it. It receives only the text you choose to send, and its answer stays on the board for you to read.

What happens if my agent goes offline?

Your NetShow agent keeps answering. The Harness card says so in plain words: "The saved harness is not connected right now, so House answers until you reconnect it or pick again."

Find your recipe

You have already done the hard part: you built an agent that works. The Harness page is where you find out, card by card, whether it can come home to a face today. Read the label on your card before anything else. If it says Recipe ready, sign in and follow the steps on your agent's Harness agents board. If it says Not connectable yet, the card tells you why in one honest line. Your visitors keep meeting one agent that speaks first, and your own agent works quietly behind it.
