Getting started

Sign in, connect your first source and ask your first question, in about five minutes.

1. Sign in

  1. Go to louvain.ai and choose Sign in.
  2. Sign in with your work email or with Google, whichever your workspace uses. If your company uses single sign-on, entering your work address takes you to your company's sign-in page.
  3. Invited by a colleague? Open the link in the invitation email instead. It shows the workspace and your role before it asks you for anything, and adds you once you sign in with the invited address.

2. Connect your first source

  1. Open Connections in the sidebar.
  2. Louvain suggests one app to start with, usually the one you signed in with, such as Gmail or Outlook. Choose Connect, or or choose another.
  3. Sign in to that app in the window that opens and approve.

What you connect yourself is private to you. Your workspace admin can also connect the company's apps for everyone: see Connecting your apps.

While your first source fills, Today shows how much has been read so far. You can ask straight away; the answer says what it could and couldn't read yet.

3. Ask your first question

  1. Open Ask.
  2. Type a question in ordinary words, or tap one of the suggestions.
  3. Read the answer. Each sentence ends with a number: select it to see the message or document it came from.

See Asking questions for more.

4. See what's on your plate

Open Plate to see what people asked of you, what you promised and what you are waiting on, in their words. See What's on your plate.
