Playground and demo workspaces

Three ways to try Sidekick: the public playground (signed-out, fixed scenarios), a demo workspace (signed-in, sample data, throwaway), and a real workspace (your data, your governance). Demo and real workspaces share the same Sidekick — the demo just isolates seeded scenarios so you can experiment without touching real systems.

Three surfaces, one Sidekick#

Public playground#

lumenflow.cloud/playground hosts a small set of demo scenarios — drafting an email, triaging an issue, summarising a contract. The playground is signed-out and read-only; nothing you do persists. Use it to see Sidekick's shape before you sign up.

Demo workspace#

When you sign up, you can create a demo workspace alongside (or instead of) your real workspace. Demo workspaces:

  • Have seeded data — sample missions, fake approvals, mock connectors
  • Land on Playground instead of Overview or Sidekick Today
  • Carry a "demo" tag in the workspace switcher
  • Don't count against your plan's billable workspace limit

Demo workspaces are real workspaces under the hood — same Sidekick, same evidence trail, same governance. They just isolate seeded data so you can run flows end-to-end without committing to a connector or a real change.

Real workspaces#

Your real workspace is where actual work happens. Connect your tools, set autonomy policy, invite teammates, and turn Sidekick loose on your backlog.

Progression#

Most teams go: playground (1 visit) → sign up → demo workspace (a few flows) → real workspace (rest of forever). You can keep a demo workspace open as long as you like — it's free to maintain.
