Atlas was built by Phillip Walsh, an economics student at the University of Tampa. Like most students trying to break into finance, Phillip spent hours every week piecing together information that should have just come to him — market moves, recruiting deadlines, networking follow-ups, relevant news.
The tools that existed were either too generic (general AI with no memory, no live data) or too professional (Bloomberg, FactSet — built for firms, not students). There was nothing in between. Nothing that knew who you were, watched the things you cared about, and actually did work on your behalf.
So he built it. Atlas started as a Telegram bot that sent him a personalized morning brief every day. Then it learned to draft cold emails, set price alerts, prep him for interviews. It grew around the actual problems a student faces when trying to compete with people who have a lot more resources.
Atlas is still in beta and still improving. If you have feedback — things that don't work, features you want, anything — reach out directly. This is being built in the open, for the people using it.
