Registration takes 2 minutes. The organization is created on the Free plan, and after a short survey you get a Pro trial — no payment and no card.
#Step 1 — Create an account
Go to lynkora.pro and click "Start for Free" (or "Try free" in the site header), or open lynkora.pro/auth.html#register directly.
The first screen has an "Account name" field, a required consent checkbox for the terms, and two ways to create an account: via Google (fast, one click) or via email and password.
#Option A — Create an account with Google (recommended)
The fastest path — under 30 seconds to a working admin panel.
- Enter your account name (for example, "Acme Corp" or "John Smith")
- Tick the consent checkbox for the terms — the Google button is inactive without it
- Click "Create account with Google"
- Choose a Google account and confirm the sign-in on the Google screen
- LiKE creates your organization automatically:
- Owner — that's you (email and name from the Google account)
- Organization address — built from the account name (Cyrillic is transliterated); if it is taken, you return to the form and pick a free one (see "Organization address" below)
- Email is already verified by Google — no code from an email is needed
- A short survey opens — your choice in it determines the Pro trial: 30 days if you answer the questions, 14 if you skip them (see Step 3)
Why it's faster. The email is verified by Google (
email_verified=true), so LiKE skips the code step. An address that Google has not verified is not accepted — register by email instead. No password is set this way — you sign in through Google. If you also want to sign in with your email and a password, click Forgot password? on the sign-in page, enter the same address and set a password using the code from the email.
#Option B — Register with email
Enter the account name, tick the consent checkbox and click "Register with email" — the second step of the form opens:
#Form fields
| Field | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Account name | Acme Corp | Entered on the first screen. Shown in the admin panel and in the header for all members; the organization address is built from it |
| First name, Last name | John Smith | How your colleagues will see you |
| Work email | [email protected] | The organization owner's email. Confirmed with a code from the email (see Step 2). A personal email works too |
| Password | — | 8 to 64 characters: an uppercase and a lowercase letter, a digit and one of @ # $ % & * - _ !; other characters are allowed too. The eye button in the field shows the password you typed, and the bar under the field shows its strength |
One rule for every password. It applies wherever a password is set: at registration, on password reset, when changing the password in your profile or in Settings → Security, and when accepting an invitation. Only a new password is checked — existing passwords do not need to be changed.
Names without addresses. The account name, first name and last name cannot contain a website or email address (
https://,www., text likename.domain,@) or be longer than 100 characters: email programs turn such text into a link in our emails. If the rule is broken, the field is highlighted and a hint appears.
If an account already exists for this address. The form responds the same way as for a new address — it cannot be used to find out whether someone's email is registered. The owner of the address receives an email: if the account is confirmed, it has a "Sign in" button and a hint that a new organization can be created after signing in (in the left menu, click the organization name → "Create organization"); if it is not confirmed, a new confirmation code.
#Organization address
The portal address like acme-corp.lynkora.pro is built automatically from the account name (Cyrillic is transliterated) — you do not need to enter it.
- Lowercase Latin letters, digits and hyphens only
- Length: 3–40 characters
- Cannot start or end with a hyphen
- Reserved names are unavailable:
admin,api,app,billing,cdn,demo,dev,like,lynkora,lynkora-demo,mail,platform,root,staging,static,status,support,system,www, as well as addresses starting withdeleted- - If the address is taken or reserved, a message appears above the form: "This address is taken. Pick a free one or enter your own." — with free options (for example,
acme-corp-1,acme-corp1,acme-corp2026) and an "Your own address" field. The address does not change without your choice. This works the same for registration via Google and via email
#Consents in the form
The first screen has one required checkbox: "I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy". Without it the Google button is inactive, and "Register with email" will not let you continue and will highlight the checkbox.
At registration, the acceptance date, the document versions and a fingerprint of the checkbox text you were shown are recorded — this is proof of exactly what you agreed to.
Links in the checkbox open in a new tab — a filled-in form is not lost.
There is no separate checkbox for the newsletter at registration: product emails are not sent by default. You can enable or withdraw consent for them in My Profile → Security → Consents.
Which option to choose. If your team already has a working Google Workspace (Gmail for business), choose Google: you can invite colleagues through the same provider and everyone has a single login. If your email is on your own domain but not via Google, choose email: the classic password flow; on the Business plan and above you can connect corporate SSO in Settings.
#Cookie consent
When you first open the site and the portal, a cookie banner with two buttons appears at the bottom:
- Accept — necessary cookies and analytics (helps us improve the product)
- Essential only — only the cookies without which sign-in and settings do not work
Until you sign in, your choice is remembered only in this browser. A choice made after signing in is saved in your profile — then the banner will not appear on other devices either. If a new version of the cookie policy is released, the banner appears again. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
#Step 2 — Verify your email
An email with a 6-digit code arrives in your inbox. The code is valid for 24 hours.
- Didn't get it? Check your "Spam" folder — the email comes from [email protected] — or click "Resend": a new code arrives and the previous one stops working. You can also "Sign in with Google" on the same screen
- The code is entered in a single field — you can paste all 6 digits at once; then click "Verify" or press Enter
- Closed the page without confirming your email? Sign in with the same address and password — the code will arrive again
After confirmation you land in your organization, and the survey opens (Step 3).
#Step 3 — Survey and the Pro trial
On the owner's first sign-in, a short survey opens: a "Get Pro for 30 days in just 1 minute" screen and 4 quick questions. The Pro trial requires no payment and no card; its length depends on your choice on the first screen:
- "Set up and get Pro 30 days" and answer the questions → 30 days of Pro; the trial activates once you answer the last question
- "Skip (Pro 14 days)" → 14 days of Pro; the trial activates immediately, without questions
- Close the survey with the ✕ and choose "Stay on Free" → the organization stays on Free, with no trial. For 30 days after registration you can return to the survey with the Pro-Trial button in the top menu and get the trial; after that the button disappears along with the right to a trial
Only the organization owner can get the trial, and only once; organizations on a paid plan are not offered it. It may also be unavailable if you have already had a trial before, including in another organization. If the trial is unavailable, the first screen shows the "Set up" and "Skip" buttons, and the organization stays on Free. All Pro features are available during the trial. When it ends, the organization automatically moves to Free.
If you skipped the questions, a banner appears on the "Home" page:
#What the survey asks
| Step | Question |
|---|---|
| 1 | What's your role? |
| 2 | What do you want to solve? |
| 3 | Tell us about your company — company name and team size |
| 4 | How did you hear about LiKE? |
After the questions comes the "Languages" screen: the interface language and the AI answer language (you can change them later in your profile, see Step 6).
While the 14 days of the trial are running, you can answer the questions later — from the banner on "Home" — and the term will extend to 30 days from the start of the trial. Once the 14 days are over, it can no longer be extended.
#Trial summary
When the trial ends, the organization automatically moves to Free with its limits. Your data is kept. You can pay for Pro at any time — plans, limits and payment are described in detail in the Plans and billing article.
#Step 4 — Onboarding checklist
An interactive "Getting started with LiKE" checklist appears in the left panel, with progress in percent:
4 steps for the owner:
- Connect knowledge source — connect Notion or Confluence; if articles are kept in the built-in LiKE editor, the step is already marked after the survey
- Add first article — via the editor or AI Writer (see AI assistants)
- Try AI search — ask your first question via
⌘Kor the AI search in the sidebar - Invite a colleague — add at least one member to the team
For invited members the checklist is shorter: for an editor — "Join the team", "Add first article", "Try AI search"; for everyone else — "Join the team" and "Try AI search".
You can collapse the checklist with the arrow or hide it with the "Hide" button; when all steps are done, it hides itself.
#Step 5 — Invite your team
- Go to Team in the sidebar
- Click "Invite"
- Enter an email and choose a role
- Copy the invitation link (valid for 7 days) or send it by email
| Role | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full access: team, spaces, articles, plan and billing. The last owner cannot be removed or demoted — the role is first transferred to another member. Not assigned by invitation. |
| Admin | Manages the team, spaces, articles and integrations. The plan and billing are changed by the owner. |
| Editor | Creates and edits articles, imports. |
| User | Searches and reads articles. Does not manage the team or integrations; can edit articles and see analytics in spaces where they have the Editor or Admin role. |
| Guest | For external members: search and reading in the spaces that have been granted to them, their own bookmarks and notifications. Does not invite to an article, export, comment or edit. |
Access is built from two axes: your role in the organization (Owner / Admin / Editor / User / Guest) and your role in the space (Admin / Editor / Viewer). One person can be an Admin in one space and a Viewer in another. Details are in Roles and access permissions.
#Step 6 — Choose your interface language
LiKE supports 25+ languages for AI search and 13 interface languages (ru, en, de, es, fr, it, pt, ko, sr, sr-Cyrl, ar, zh, et).
- You can choose the interface language in the survey (Step 3) and change it in the language list in the top bar; your choice is saved in your profile and applied on later sign-ins, including on other devices
- The language of AI answers can be pinned in "My Profile" → "AI Answer Language". By default it is set to "Follow the question". If the language cannot be recognized (a very short or ambiguous query), the answer is given in the interface language. Language detection is a helper feature and may be inaccurate on short queries
- An RTL interface mode is available for Arabic
#Where to see consent status
Under My Profile → Security → Consents you can see:
- Accepted documents — name, version and acceptance date, with a link to the text
- I want to receive product news and updates by email — a checkbox with the consent date; clear it to withdraw consent
The cookie choice is made in the cookie banner (see Step 1). Until you sign in, you can make it again: clear the site data in your browser — the banner will appear again.
Changes to the newsletter consent and to the cookie choice are recorded in your organization's Activity log.
