Setup

How to get started

01

Download Telegram (if you don't have it)

Telegram is a free messaging app on iPhone and Android. If you already have it, skip this. If not, download and sign up with your phone number — same process as WhatsApp. Takes about 60 seconds.

Download free from the App Store or Google Play. 900 million users. Not owned by Meta or Google.
02

Open the Atlas bot

Tap the link on this site. It opens Telegram directly to Atlas, like starting a conversation with a contact. Hit "Start" at the bottom of the screen.

03

Answer 8 onboarding questions

Atlas asks about your name, school and where you're working (or targeting), major, career goal, interests, market sectors, watchlist, and trading style. These are how Atlas personalizes your brief, interview prep, and news. Takes 3 to 4 minutes. You can update anything later by just telling Atlas.

04

Connect Gmail or Calendar Optional

Connect Gmail and Atlas saves cold email drafts directly to your inbox. Connect Google Calendar and events surface in your morning brief automatically. Both are completely optional and can be revoked anytime.

Type /connect in the Atlas chat to get started. See the privacy policy for exactly what access is requested.
05

Your first brief arrives tomorrow morning

That's it. Atlas sends your brief automatically every morning before you wake up. It covers your watchlist, market moves, relevant news, reminders, and specific actions for you. From then on, use Atlas however you need it — ask questions, add applications, prep for interviews, draft emails.

What's your major?

What's your career goal?
The most important one. IB, consulting, PE, VC, trading — this shapes everything.

Which market sectors do you follow?

Any tickers to add to your watchlist?
Individual stocks you want tracked. Price + percent move appears in your brief every morning.
8
