About atmon
Models got good at deciding.
Doing stayed hard.
The gap this closes is not intelligence. Your assistant can already work out what needs doing in your accounts. What it cannot do is act in them safely, at the size real work comes in, and leave you something you can check afterwards. That part is engineering, and this is the engineering.
Why this exists
Everyone has now had the same afternoon. You ask an assistant for something that would actually save you a day, it writes back something clever, and then the two of you sit there.
It cannot open the drive, cannot read the invoice, cannot send the email. The reasoning was never the bottleneck. Reaching the accounts was.
You can hand an assistant the keys to your accounts and hope. Plenty of tools do. But hope does not survive the first time a piece of software holding your login does something at scale that nobody asked for.
It does not survive the person in your company whose job is to ask where the passwords are kept, either.
So the work is a layer underneath. It holds the keys, takes the plain-words request, checks what you allowed before it opens anything, and writes down every action. The assistant gets the ability to act. You keep the accounts, the limits, and the record.
What we believe
Three things this is built on
The limit is not how clever the model is
Ask an assistant to do a real piece of work and it stops at the first place it would have to act. A better model stops at the same place, faster. What is missing is not reasoning.
Permission belongs outside the model
A rule written into a prompt is advice, and advice is something a model can be talked out of. The same rule checked underneath, before the key comes out of the store, is a limit. Every limit here sits where the model cannot argue with it.
A record beats a promise
Anything can claim it finished. We would rather hand you the list of what it read, what it changed, what it skipped and what it is still waiting on, and let you check it yourself.
Where this stands
The honest boundary, in full
atmon is in beta. Here is the whole of what that means, in the same words we would use on a call.
- Live accounts are beginning GitHub has approved us as an app its users can connect, and it is the only one so far. Every other path has been proven against stand-in services rather than against a real Gmail or a real Salesforce, and until each provider approves us in turn, nothing on this site should be read as a live integration for that app.
- Designed, not built One thing is designed and not built, and we say so in those words rather than in the future tense: a general channel for your assistant to ask you a question that is not an approval. Approvals themselves are built, and so is work that starts on its own, on a schedule or when something happens in another app.
- No outside audit There is no third-party security audit and no certification to point at. The safety page says what we claim, how each part is enforced, and what we are not claiming, and that last list stays on the page for as long as it is true.
- No numbers published We measure how often the system picks the right action, on every change we make. Those numbers are measured against stand-in services rather than live accounts, so they are engineering numbers and we do not publish them as product claims. Ask us and we will walk you through the harness that produces them.
How we build
The team
atmon is built by a small team, and two habits explain most of what you have read on this site.
We build against real work
Not against a feature list. Tell us what your week actually looks like and which apps it happens in, and that shapes what gets built next.
The fastest way to change this product right now is to describe a job you would hand over if you trusted it.
We draw rather than photograph
Everything on this site is drawn, and every drawing is written as code, so the page loads nothing from anywhere else and every reader sees the same thing.
We would rather show you a drawing of something that works than a screenshot of something that does not exist yet.
