An AI tool for thought.

“We shape our tools and thereafter they shape us.”

— John M. Culkin, writing on Marshall McLuhan, 1967

The tools we think and work with in turn shape the way we think and work. Writing, print, calculators and computers have all transformed our mental models and the nature of work. AI is a new cognitive substrate that is malleable, potent and open-ended, presenting both an opportunity and a risk to transform or disrupt the way we think, learn, research and organize knowledge. AI could diminish our need and ability to understand, or it could become a most powerful medium for expanding thought. Atlas is our attempt to forge this new material into a tool for thought, one that helps people develop and expand their understanding.
