Getting Started

Getting Started with Skylight Assistant

  • Updated

Sign up for Skylight Assistant

Start your free trial of Skylight Assistant using the Skylight Mobile App.

After starting your trial, you'll be prompted to enter your phone number and accept the Terms of Service. You'll then receive an introductory text from Skylight Assistant that walks you through setup, including whether you'd like other family members to receive the daily rundown and what time you'd like to receive it each evening.

Text-based Onboarding

Once your phone number is confirmed, Skylight Assistant will text you to:

  • Introduce itself and explain what it can do.
  • Ask if you'd like other family members to receive the nightly rundown.
    Assistant will ask you for their names and phone numbers.
  • Ask what time you'd like to receive the nightly rundown each evening.

After setup is complete, you can text Skylight Assistant at any time.

If you don't receive an onboarding text, open the app and tap the Go to the Assistant tile. You'll see a button to prompt Skylight Assistant to text you.
