We kicked off the new year with two features you've been asking for: web search and sharing. Now you can research without leaving Atlas, and show the world what you've built.
Web Search
You're deep in research. You've uploaded your papers, you're asking questions, and then you hit a gap. Something you need to fact-check, a recent development not in your sources, a tangent worth exploring.
Previously, this meant opening a new tab, running a search, scanning results, copying links, pasting them back. A context switch that breaks your flow every time.
Now you can just ask Atlas.
Web search is built directly into chat. Ask any question and Atlas will search the web, synthesize the results, and respond with citations linking back to the original sources. It's research mode without the tab switching.
The citations matter. Atlas doesn't just summarize. It shows you where the information came from. Click through to verify. Follow threads that interest you. The web becomes another input to your knowledge workspace, not a separate destination.
Share Your Maps
Made something worth sharing? A map that visualizes a complex topic, a research synthesis that might help others, a framework you developed?
Click the share button to generate a public link. Anyone with the link can view your map. No Atlas account required. They see what you see: the nodes, the connections, the structure of your thinking.
This is great for collaborating with colleagues who aren't Atlas users yet. For publishing insights to your audience. For showing your advisor how your thesis fits together. For explaining a complex topic to anyone, anywhere.
The shared view is read-only. Your original stays yours to edit. The link is yours to revoke whenever you want.
Improved
We also shipped several quality-of-life improvements:
-
Undo and accept diffs. When Atlas suggests changes to your notes, you're in control. Don't like an edit? Undo it. Happy with a suggestion? Accept it with one click. No more all-or-nothing AI assistance.
-
Collapse and expand nodes. Maps can get complex. Click any node to collapse its children, hiding detail until you need it. Expand again when you want to dive deeper.
-
Tab navigation. Use
Cmd+[andCmd+]to move backward and forward between tabs, like a browser. Your hands stay on the keyboard. -
Favicon badges. Citations now show the source's favicon (that little website icon). At a glance, you can tell whether a citation comes from Wikipedia, a .edu domain, a news site, or your uploaded PDF.
-
Delete nodes. Right-click any node to remove it from your map. Simple, but necessary.
-
Project creation. The dialog validates inputs more smoothly. Creating new projects is friction-free.
-
Node positioning. Nodes stay where you put them after layout changes. Your careful arrangement persists.
