This guide walks you from your first sign-in to your first answer in Aracor. About ten minutes end to end.
If a teammate sent you an invite, follow Accept an invite to a workspace instead. This guide is for the first person on a fresh workspace.
1. Sign in
Go to app.aracor.ai and click Sign in. If you don't have an account yet, click Create account and follow the email verification steps. See Sign up for Aracor for the full flow.
After sign-in you land on Home.
2. Create your first project
A new workspace starts empty, so your first step is to create a project. Projects keep each deal's documents, conversations, and workflows separate.
Open the project selector in the top navigation and click New project. You can also click New project on Home, in the header of the Recent projects section.
Give it a name. For example, "Atlas Acquisition".
Pick a color. It helps you spot the project in lists at a glance.
Click Create. You will be taken into the project.
3. Add documents
Three ways to add documents, depending on where they live:
Connect a cloud drive (recommended for active deals). If your documents already live in SharePoint or another cloud drive, connect once and Aracor mirrors the folder. Adds, edits, and deletions in the source flow into Aracor automatically, so your team always sees the current set without re-uploading anything. See Connect SharePoint to sync files.
Drag and drop. Drop files onto Home or onto a message input. They upload directly into the project. Fastest path for a handful of files.
Documents page. Open Documents, click Add Documents, then Upload files. From here you can also Browse files or Select a folder to upload a folder structure.
The Documents page is where you'll manage every document later, however it got in: search, organize, see versions, and delete.
Documents move through several stages before they are fully processed, and a progress ring in the app header tracks them. A few files complete in seconds; a five-thousand-file data room can take a while. A document becomes available to Aracor Partner once it reaches Indexing, so you can start asking questions before the whole data room finishes. If Aracor cannot see something you added, see Why can't Aracor find or read a document?
Tip: if you need answers before a large sync completes, drag in the one or two documents you need most. They'll be ready in seconds.
4. Ask your first question
Home has a message input you can use without changing pages. Type into the Ask anything... box and send.
Or open a new conversation with Aracor Partner from the left sidebar for a dedicated view.
Try something like:
"What's the termination notice period in the master agreement?"
"List every payment obligation with the page each one is on."
"What changed between v3 and v4 of the SPA?"
Every answer includes citations linking each claim back to the exact passage in the source. Click a citation to jump to it. For more patterns, see What can I ask Aracor Partner?.
5. Run a due diligence pass on your data room
Once you have documents in the project, run the due diligence workflow to get a structured review of the whole data room. Aracor reads every document, works through a checklist, and produces a report summarizing its findings.
See Run a due diligence checklist workflow for what it accepts, how long it takes, and what you get back.
6. Share what you found
Click Share in the conversation header, then set General access or add specific people by name or email. See Share a conversation.
