Getting started
Thout is your AI Chief of Staff for meetings — it captures conversations, turns them into decisions and actions, and pushes the follow-through into your tools. To use any Thout feature, you first need an account. This guide covers everything from sign-up to logging out.
How to create a new account
On Thout, you sign up with your work email, or continue with Google, Microsoft, or Apple. Creating an account takes about two minutes and requires a quick email verification.
Create your account
- Go to app.thout.ai.
- Click Continue with Email > Sign up.
- Enter your First Name, Last Name, and Work Email.
- Create a Password and confirm it. Passwords must be at least 8 characters and include 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, 1 number, and 1 special character. The Create Account button stays disabled until every field is valid and both passwords match.
- Click Create Account.
- Review the AI Processing Notice, then click I Agree. If you click Cancel, your account won't be created — see About the AI Processing Notice.
- Enter the 6-digit code sent to your email. The form submits automatically once all 6 digits are entered — no button needed. The code expires after 5 minutes.
Didn't get the verification code?
- Wait 30 seconds — the Resend code button becomes active.
- Click Resend code to get a new code at the same email address. The timer resets to 30 seconds after each resend.
- Check your spam or junk folder if the email doesn't arrive within a minute.
Check your email
Enter the 6-digit code we sent to maya@glowlabs.co
Didn't get it? Resend code in 0:24
Note: any valid email address works, but Thout is built for professional use — we recommend signing up with your work email.
How to log in to Thout
You can log in with your email and password, or continue with Google, Microsoft, or Apple. All options are available on the same welcome screen.
Log in with email and password
- Go to app.thout.ai.
- Click Continue with Email.
- Enter your Work Email and Password.
- Click Sign In. Click the eye icon next to the password field to show or hide your password.
Log in with Google, Microsoft, or Apple
- Go to app.thout.ai.
- Click Sign In with Google, Sign In with Microsoft, or Continue with Apple.
- Complete the provider's authentication in the pop-up window.
- You're redirected into Thout automatically.
Note: Microsoft Teams users can also open Thout directly inside Teams via the Teams tab integration.
After you log in
You land on the Meetings page — your main dashboard showing captured meetings, upcoming meetings, and quick-access tools. See the Meetings guide for a tour.
How to reset a forgotten password
If you've forgotten your password, you can reset it in a few steps: enter your email, verify with a one-time code, then set a new password.
Reset your password
- On the email login form, click Forgot password?.
- Enter your registered Work Email > Continue. Thout emails you a 6-digit verification code.
- Enter the 6-digit code. It submits automatically when complete. The code expires after 5 minutes; after 30 seconds you can click Resend code.
- Enter your new password, confirm it, then click Reset Password. New passwords follow the same rules: 8+ characters with 1 uppercase, 1 lowercase, 1 number, and 1 special character.
- A success dialog confirms the change — log in with your new password.
Tip: sign in with your new password right away to confirm it works.
How your login session works
Thout keeps you signed in automatically, so you rarely need to log in again.
- Your session is stored securely in your browser and refreshes automatically in the background.
- You can be logged in on multiple browsers or devices at the same time — sessions are stored per browser.
- Closing the browser without logging out keeps you signed in the next time you open Thout in the same browser.
- If your session expires or becomes invalid, Thout automatically redirects you to the login page.
- Protected pages (such as Meetings, Pulse, and Actions) can't be opened without logging in — you'll be redirected to the login page.
Note: don't clear your browser cookies or site storage while actively working in Thout — this will end your session.

Troubleshoot sign-in issues
I didn't receive the verification code email.
Wait 30 seconds for the Resend code button to activate, then click it. Check your spam or junk folder. If the problem persists, try registering with a different email address.
The Create Account button is greyed out.
All fields must be valid: the password must meet the strength rules, both passwords must match, and the email format must be correct. Check each field.
Can I use a personal Gmail instead of a work email?
Yes — any valid email works. But Thout is designed for professional and team use, so a work email is recommended.
Can I be logged in on two browsers at once?
Yes. Sessions are stored per browser, so you can stay signed in on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously.
What happens if I close the browser without logging out?
You stay signed in. Your session persists and refreshes automatically the next time you open Thout in the same browser.
