Five things worth doing first — after that, Lyyli is ready for daily use. Return anytime to the
easy setup overview.
1. Create your workspace
A workspace is the home base for your communications. Sign in with email or Google. You can change the interface language from the settings in the top right.
- Choose Create workspace from the start view (Overview in the left menu). If the menu is hidden, open it from the Lyyli icon.
- Name the workspace clearly — for example after yourself, your team, or your project.
- Choose visibility: private is a good default if content is invite-only.
- Choose the workspace language — it guides the language Lyyli primarily replies in. The UI language is a separate setting.
- Invite teammates if needed: Workspace settings → Management. Give edit rights only to people who produce content.
2. Tell Lyyli who you are talking to
This is one of the most important setup steps. The better Lyyli understands the audience, the better topics and texts it suggests. Avoid vague descriptions.
Too general
"Customers" or "anyone interested" is not enough — Lyyli does not know who to write for.
Better
"Professionals aged 30–45 in growing cities who care about smooth everyday service, reliable delivery, and clear communication."
Audience examples: current customers, prospects, members, employees, partners, decision-makers in a sector, or a local community. One message should usually speak to one audience at a time.
3. Define goals and key themes
Tell Lyyli 3–5 themes you communicate about, and what you want to achieve. Theme examples: expertise and timely insights, customer stories, product or service updates, recruiting, sustainability, or events.
- Goal example: "Make our expertise easy to understand in everyday language and guide the reader to get in touch."
- Goal example: "Be known as constructive, practical, and solution-oriented — without unnecessary jargon."
4. Tell Lyyli how you want to sound
With clear instructions, Lyyli writes in your style. Do not invent a full communications strategy yet — describe who you are and who you do not want to sound like.
Tone of voice example
"Write clearly and concisely. Use plain language. I am knowledgeable, but I do not want to sound bureaucratic. Humor is fine, but do not force it. Avoid jargon and overly long sentences."
You can also give specific rules, for example: do not attack competitors by name, back claims with facts, use official sources for laws and decisions, and do not overuse exclamation marks.
You can change all settings later. If you already have a website, you can use it as a source (introduction, themes, earlier writing). If Lyyli cannot read the site correctly, the cause is often technical — ask your webmaster if needed.
5. Create your first test post
When the basics are in place, try it in practice right away. You can write to Lyyli, for example:
Example prompt
"Write a LinkedIn post about how clear communication saves the customer's time. The audience is professionals aged 30–45. I want to emphasize that a complex topic can be said simply without losing expertise."
Read the draft and ask yourself: Does this sound like me? If yes, the basics are in good shape. If not, tell Lyyli what feels wrong — for example "This sounds too formal. Write more casually." or "I am usually more direct. Make this about a third shorter."
You can also update the workspace's standing communication instructions. More on producing text:

Remember throughout this guide
You always approve the content yourself before publishing — more in the ground rules.
