Overview

Overview

Atom is an AI‑driven assistant that brings together your personal and professional digital life. By connecting calendars, email, chat platforms, project‑management tools, and financial services, it offers a single conversational interface for scheduling, communication, task tracking, and small‑business operations.

Capabilities & Deployment

You can interact with Atom via voice or text, asking it to find meeting slots, summarize meetings, draft replies, or generate financial insights. All data processing can run locally on your machine or in a private cloud, ensuring privacy. Installation requires Node.js 16+, 2 GB storage, and 8 GB RAM for optimal performance, and works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
