Onboarding Guide
Onboarding Guide
A short, guided walkthrough of how to log in, complete onboarding, and start using the features built for clearer thinking, more consistent performance and intentional growth.
You will receive an email from Nlighten with your username and a temporary password. The first time you sign in, you will be prompted to create a new password.
Look for the email from Nlighten with your username and a temporary password.
The temporary password expires after 24 hours, so log in promptly.
You will be prompted to set a new password the first time you sign in.
If you do not see the email in your inbox, please check your spam or junk folder. Some email security settings may filter it there.
Once you have signed in for the first time, the app introduces itself before any setup begins.
You will be shown a one-time introductory video before anything else. It sets the tone for what Nlighten is and how to use it.
After the video, the app guides you directly into the Onboarding Agent, who walks you through the next steps of your personalised setup.
Onboarding is structured as a reflective question-and-answer conversation. Rather than ticking boxes, you are guided through a series of questions designed to personalise your experience.
The process helps the system understand who you are, how you think, your values, your ultimate goals, and the type of support you may need.
The questions are led by your in-app coach, who guides the discussion and provides clarification whenever needed. You can ask questions at any point if you are unsure or need help understanding what is being asked.
Once onboarding is complete, you will be taken directly to the main app.
The Home screen is the first screen you see after onboarding. It gives you a clear view of your journey and an easy way to pick up where you left off.
From here, you can access your coach and a quick view of your progress, including your streak, your percentage progress toward your North Star, and your Mastery Challenge level.
✦ Your North Star ✦The Your North Star button guides you through a series of deeper questions designed to help define your Super North Star — your bigger personal direction and long-term focus. Completing this makes guidance, coaching and challenges even more tailored to your goals.
The Load section helps you track your cognitive load — the amount of mental effort your brain is using at any given moment.
When cognitive load becomes too high, it can be harder to think clearly, learn effectively or make decisions. Monitoring your load helps you understand your current mental state and recognise when you may need to reset or recover.
Get a clear read on your current cognitive load and how it is shifting through the day.
Better understand your mental state, including the conditions shaping how you are operating right now.
Recognise when you are moving away from your optimal state, before performance starts to slip.
Your coach can explain your cognitive load, what your current status means, and answer any questions you may have. It can also offer practical guidance to help you reset and return to a more optimal state.
The Coach is available throughout the app and can be accessed at any time. It acts as a flexible soundboard, offering guidance, clarification and support whenever you need it.
All advice and responses are personalised to you, based on your unique personality, motivations and goals. This means the guidance you receive is tailored specifically to your needs — making it relevant, practical and individual to your journey.
When you are unsure of the next step, your coach helps you cut through the noise and find a clear move.
Talk through a setback, decision or moment of pressure with someone trained on who you are.
Ask the coach to break down something you are wrestling with and help you see it from a new angle.
Use the coach as a sounding board to step outside your usual frame and see the situation differently.
Aim to speak at least 200 words so the agent has enough natural language to track your cognitive load accurately. The more you speak as you would in real conversation, the more useful the response.
AMN helps you understand how you think, communicate and perform — turning personality insight into practical self-awareness you can actually use.
Understand your top three Networks and how they shape the way you think, work and make decisions — a clearer view of your natural advantages.
See how you typically come across — tone, pace, assertiveness — and one small behavioural shift that can improve how others experience you.
Learn the conditions that help you feel clear, confident and in flow, based on your personality, motivations and natural working style.
See which situations energise you most, and structure your day so your work stays aligned with your values, purpose and North Star.
Mastery Challenges are where profile becomes practice. Shaped by your Adaptive Mind Network, personality traits and motivations, they are designed to help you understand how your networks operate, learn how to access them more deliberately, and apply them more effectively in daily life.
Each challenge transforms insight into real behavioural growth — helping you build stronger habits, communicate more effectively, and perform with greater consistency, adaptability and intention.
The Profile page provides a clear breakdown of your personality, including key motivations, behavioural drivers and OCEAN personality scores.
The OCEAN model reflects five core personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and emotional sensitivity. Together, these traits offer insight into how you typically think, communicate, make decisions and respond to challenge or change.
This profile is used throughout the app to personalise your experience. When interacting with the Coach, and when generating Mastery Challenges or recommendations, the system takes into account your traits, motivations and behavioural patterns to ensure guidance is relevant and tailored.
You can also explore any aspect of your profile in more depth by asking the Coach for further explanation. This supports a more detailed understanding of individual traits and how they show up in real-life behaviour — building greater self-awareness and intentional development over time.
Personality is not a label. It is a performance pattern. Understanding yours makes guidance more precise, communication more effective, and growth more deliberate.
A handful of starting points to get the most out of your conversations.
You now have everything you need to log in, complete onboarding and start using Nlighten Pro with intent. Open the app and continue your journey.
