Atelos
Your AI tools are smart. They just don't know your projects.
Atelos is a desktop app that remembers your work — your projects, your clients, your decisions, your voice — so every AI session starts where the last one left off. Your files stay on your machine.
Local-first. Your files never leave your machine.
Atelos learns your voice in minutes — not months.
The Fragmentation Tax
$210K
per year at a 42-person Series A company
Decisions in Slack. Strategy across Notion docs. Context in AI chats that expire in 24 hours. Your institutional knowledge is scattered across tools that don't talk to each other — and someone pays to reassemble it every single time.
The Bottleneck Is You
Everything important lives in your head.
Your pricing rationale, your client history, your competitive intel. Your team asks and you answer from memory. AI could help, but it doesn't know any of this. You are the institutional memory of your company, and there's no backup.
The Cold Session Problem
Session 1 of ∞
You explained your business to Claude last Tuesday. Today it has no idea. Four projects, four blank slates. Or worse: you're a human RAG system — pasting context from five tools into every prompt, then doing it again tomorrow. Every AI session starts from zero because nothing transfers between sessions — ever.
The Trust Problem
Your real work can't live on someone else's server.
Client NDAs. Unreleased strategy. Personnel decisions. The work that matters most can't be uploaded anywhere — not ChatGPT, not Claude projects, not Notion AI. Once it's on someone else's cloud, you've lost control of how it's stored, who trains on it, and who owns the company that holds it next year.

4 tools. 4 partial answers. No single source of truth.
You are the API. There is no backup.
Remember last week — we were working on the Stratford pitch?
I don't have access to previous conversations. Each session starts fresh. Could you give me some context?

A morning with Atelos
Your day starts differently.
8:02 AM
You open the app.
One click. No browser tab. No prompt to write. The vault is local — it was there all along.
8:03 AM
Your to-do list is already built.
Atelos read your files overnight. By the time you sit down, the day is already mapped — across every project, every client, every open thread.
8:04 AM
Three things to move today.
Pulled from open threads across all your projects. Each one cited. Each one linked back to the file it came from.
8:05 AM
The one you almost forgot.
Stratford renewal in 60 days. Last touchpoint 6 weeks ago. You didn't search for this. It found you.
8:07 AM
You're ready.
Before your first coffee. Without touching a tool. Without explaining yourself to an AI that doesn't know you.

Why this is hard
We did the heavy lifting so you don't have to.
Making AI know your business takes real work — work that's hidden, recurring, and never the work you're trying to do. Most people who try to piece it together eventually give up. Atelos ships it already done.
Keeping the AI from forgetting you
On your own, every new chat starts from zero. You re-explain your projects, your clients, your voice — every single time.
Picks up where you left off — every session.
Wiring your tools together
On your own, you stitch a note app to a search tool to an AI layer. Fix one, break another. The setup becomes its own job.
One app. No plugins. No glue.
Telling the AI where to look
On your own, you write the instructions, organize the files, and debug why the AI keeps reading the wrong ones.
Arrives configured. You drop in files and run a skill.
Getting answers you can actually use
On your own, accuracy lands around 30–60%. "Almost right" doesn't ship to your VP.
Reads only the files that matter — and cites every source.
What's already built in
Five things every “AI that knows your business” needs. All five are in Atelos.
- An index that stays current as your files change — without you maintaining it
- AI that opens the 5–10 files it actually needs — not all 200
- Skills that get sharper every time you run them — not stale
- A vault that organizes itself as you add to it
- Your files stay on your machine — no cloud relay, no vendor lock-in
Atelos is the desktop app that ships all five. No setup. No plumbing. No prompt engineering. Drop your files in. Pick a skill. Get output that sounds like you, cites your work, and lands the first time.
Teach Atelos your voice in 2–3 minutes per topic. No prompt engineering.
