Installation & Setup

Create your account#

1. Visit lumenflow.cloud and click Start free
2. Sign up with your email or Google account
3. Verify your email address

That's it — you're in the dashboard.

Create a workspace#

Workspaces are isolated environments for teams or projects. Each workspace has its own:

• Sidekick conversations
• Approval rules
• API keys and connections
• Usage metering

To create one, click New Workspace in the dashboard and give it a name.

Start with managed inference#

Every new workspace can start on managed inference. You do not need to create a provider account or paste an API key before trying Sidekick.

1. Open your workspace and launch Sidekick
2. Ask Sidekick to draft an email, summarize a thread, or plan a task
3. Review the proposal and approve the first action
4. Check Observe to see the action, cost, and proof trail

Free workspaces include managed inference credit so you can evaluate the product without extra setup.

Optional: bring your own model key#

If you need a specific provider, model, or enterprise agreement, you can connect a bring your own model key in workspace settings.

1. Go to Settings → Model Configuration
2. Select a provider and model
3. Paste your API key
4. Save the configuration for the workspace

success Your API key is encrypted and stored securely. LumenFlow never sends your key to any service other than the provider you selected.

Next step#

With your workspace configured, you're ready to run your first workflow.
