Create an Account

Getting started with Kavanah takes a couple of minutes: create an account, confirm your email, name your workspace, and invite your team.

Sign up

1Visit /signup and enter your first name, last name, work email and a password. Or skip the form entirely with Continue with Google, Continue with GitHub or Continue with 1Profile.
2Click Create Account. You are signed in straight away and Kavanah emails you a confirmation link.
3Open the link to confirm your email. Until you do, the app keeps you on the /verify-emailscreen, which has a button to resend the link if it didn't arrive.

Password requirements

At least 8 characters.
At least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter and one number.
Forgot your password? Use the reset flow on the login page; a reset link is sent if the email is on file.
Once you're in, turn on two-factor authentication (an authenticator app, or a passkey / security key) under Settings → Security & 2FA.

Set up your workspace

Your workspace is the container for projects, tasks, clients, people and your AI agent. After signing up, a two-step setup runs:

1Name your workspace: the name people will see across projects, files and updates.
2Invite your team: add teammate emails and give each one a role (Member, Admin or Guest). You can skip this and invite people later from the People page.

You then land on the dashboard. You'll be asked to pick a plan (you can start on the free Starter Plan), and a short tour shows where the time tracker, your most urgent tasks, the AI morning briefing and workspace activity live. You can replay the tour any time from the Help Center (/help). To find anything later, press Cmd+K(Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux) — the command palette is the app's search. New accounts also receive 250 free AI credits to try the agent.

If your company has verified its email domain in Kavanah, signing up with an address on that domain adds you to the company workspace automatically.

See Kavanah with data in it

A brand-new workspace is empty. Two ways to see a populated one:

Sample data: in Settings → Workspace, click Add sample datato install a sample project and board, a client list and a knowledge page. Everything it adds is named “Sample” and can be removed in one click without touching anything else.
The demo workspace: sign in as demo@kavanah.ai / Demo1234!. It has three projects, about 150 tasks, four clients, discussions and time entries, and is refreshed every week. Five teammates share the password Team1234!. Log in as Sarah, Marcus, Priya, James or Elena to see the role-based views.

Create an account via API

const res = await fetch("/api/auth/signup", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    firstName: "Ada",
    lastName: "Lovelace",
    email: "ada@example.com",
    password: "Analytical1843", // 8+ chars, upper, lower, number
  }),
});

const data = await res.json();
// { ok: true, signedIn: true, redirectPath: "/verify-email",
//   user: { email, emailVerified: false } }

On signup the server sets an HTTP-only kavanah_session cookie (plus a refresh cookie), so the browser sends it automatically on later requests. For scripts and integrations, use a workspace API key instead; see the API Reference.
