How can we help?
Search the docs, browse a topic, or jump straight to a guide.
Getting started
Install Atlas, update it, and run your first task.
Models and agents
Use hosted, local, or approved models with purpose-built agents.
Private workflows
Keep client and company work behind permissions and local context.
Plugins & MCP
Extend Atlas with plugins and Model Context Protocol servers.
Keys & commands
Drive every surface keyboard-first, no mouse required.
Resource hubs
Category pages keep thousands of guides discoverable without overloading this index.
Private AI development
Run AI coding workflows without giving client code, notes, or internal context to hosted training systems.
