The Studio is where you make an agent, give it a face and a body, and get it ready to meet people. It has grown to many pages, and they do not all sit in one menu yet. The Studio hub is the one page that lists them all, sorted into groups, and tells you plainly which ones you can open today.
Open the hub
Sign in, then go to /studio/hub. The page is headed Studio and opens with one line: Every Studio page in one place. A page that is not ready yet says why.
Two habits help:
- Bookmark it. Your owner menu may not link the hub yet, and its address is always the quickest way back to it.
- If you already work in the Alive Studio, the same list sits on the Alive Studio projects page, so you can move across without typing the address.
How to read a row
Every row is one Studio page, and every row is in one of two shapes:
- A link: the page is ready for you. Click it and it opens for your account. A page that works on one agent at a time opens for the first agent you made.
- Greyed out, with a short reason under it: the page exists, but it will not open for you yet. The hub does not hide it and does not pretend it works: it tells you why.
The reasons you can meet on the hub are these three:
- Not switched on yet. The page is built but not turned on for owners. Nothing on your side changes this; when it is switched on, the same row becomes a link.
- For platform admins. The page belongs to the NetShow team's own control room. You see it listed so the map is complete, but it is not for customer accounts.
- Create an agent first. The page works on one agent, and your account has no agent yet. Make one and the row opens for it.
A link on the hub is a promise the page will open. Before it draws a link, the hub checks the same switch, sign-in and ownership the page itself checks, so it never sends you to a page that would turn you away.
The five groups
The hub always shows the same five groups, in this order. Some newer pages join a group only once they are switched on, so your hub may carry a row or two more than this guide names.
Create
Where an agent begins: Studio front door, Create an agent, Creation Stitch, Alive Studio projects and Content Studio. The creation flow takes a new agent from its name and its face to its voice and instructions in five steps; the Create an agent guide walks it step by step.
Edit bay
Pages that work on an agent you already have: Studio edit bay, Studio tools, Body tools and Alive deployments. When one is a link, it opens for your first agent. If you have no agent yet, these rows ask you to create one first.
Model library
The faces and bodies you can choose from: Live avatars, Studio characters and Open model rack.
Studio intake
Bring your own appearance: the door for a look you already own, brought in for one of your agents.
Mission Control
The NetShow team's pages: Mission Control hub, Alive agents, Model packs, Live-stage avatar uploads, Studio face jobs and 3D look bench. As an owner you see these rows greyed out with For platform admins., or Not switched on yet. while a page is still off. Nothing here needs you.
Pages that live beside the hub
A few pages you will use often are not hub rows: you reach them from your agent's own editor and deploy pages. Each has its own guide:
- Change how it looks explains where the face is chosen and where the still picture on cards is changed.
- Shape what your agent knows and says walks the editor tabs for who it is, how it talks and what it knows.
- Give it a voice that speaks first shows where its spoken voice and its first line are set. Your agent is voice-first and hands-free: it speaks first, in its own spoken voice, and a visitor's microphone opens only after the visitor taps. Typed chat sits in the small menu for people with no microphone or speaker.
- Publish it covers the visibility card on the deploy page.
What the hub never does
The hub only lists. Opening it changes no setting, switches nothing on and spends nothing. A greyed-out row stays greyed out until its page is ready, and then it becomes a link on its own; you never have to ask for the list to be updated.
