Launch day, about to close out.
If you missed it: Atlas runs the small recurring things you keep meaning to do. Describe one in a sentence, pick a schedule, and the result arrives in your inbox every time it runs.
Free tier is 40 runs a month, no card, about a minute to set up.
Thanks to everyone who tried it today.
"Every weekday at 8, email me the top three headlines about my city."
Type that into Atlas. Pick the schedule. It's in your inbox tomorrow morning, and every morning after.
No flowchart to draw. No API key to bring. 40 runs a month free, no card.
It watches its own output, too. The same answer five times running usually means the source died, so it tells you instead of quietly mailing you nothing. And you can reply to any result email in plain English to change what it does next time.
Three weeks ago this was a waitlist. Atlas is open.

Atlas opens tomorrow.
What it does: you describe a recurring task in a sentence, it runs on your schedule, the results arrive in your inbox — bundled into a daily digest on the free tier. Free tier is 40 runs a month, no card.
What it doesn’t do yet: connect to your other apps. That’s next.
Months of work going out to the public tomorrow!
Atlas opens Thursday. Two days out, the honest version:
You describe a recurring task in a sentence. It runs on your schedule and sends you the results — instantly on Pro, or bundled into one daily digest on the free tier. It notices when a task goes stale or starts failing, and stops it rather than flooding you.
It does not connect to your other apps yet. That’s the next thing.
My favourite band announces things on four different platforms and I check none of them.
Now something else checks, once a week, and sends me one paragraph if anything happened. Nothing happened for three weeks. I got no emails, which is the correct behaviour.
The something else is Atlas — you describe a recurring task in a sentence and it runs on your schedule. Opens Aug 27.
Things this is good at that I didn’t specifically build it for:
What’s fresh and cheap at the market this week. Whether the pollen count is bad. Your team’s score and the next fixture. Three cheap dinners built around whatever’s actually on sale.
I mainly built it for stock prices and news. It actually works for basically any question you’d want answered again without asking again.
Atlas — one sentence, a schedule, and the answer comes to you. Opens Aug 27.
Scheduled AI tasks, compared honestly:
ChatGPT Tasks — needs a paid plan, no free tier. Go caps you at 3 active tasks, and it pauses ones you stop opening.
Atlas — describe a recurring task in a sentence, it runs on your schedule and sends you the results. 40 runs a month free, no card. No ads. Opens Aug 27.
Pick whichever fits. Just know the caps before you build on one.
Someone job-hunting doesn’t need an AI agent. They need the same three job boards checked every Monday, for the same title, without having to remember it’s Monday.
Two years of “I should really check” becomes one sentence you write once.
Most “productivity” tools hand you a list of things to go do.
I wanted the opposite: the checking already done, the answer already written, sitting in my inbox before I’m properly awake.
Not a to-do. A result.
I replied to an automated email with “shorter, just the top 3.”
It rewrote its own instructions and sent back a confirmation showing exactly what changed. With an undo link.
Tomorrow’s email will be shorter. I never opened the app.

There’s a jacket I’ve been waiting to go on sale since March.
I stopped checking. Atlas checks every morning at 7 and emails me where the price stands.
One sentence to set up. It’ll outlast my patience.
Somebody’s morning is planned around the pollen count. Somebody else’s is planned around the traffic on the way in.
Neither of them wants an app for it. They want the answer to be there when they wake up.
Atlas makes this possible. https://t.co/u9vpLsDM9p
Imagine you wake up in the morning and all of the things you check like the weather, stocks, and news are already done.
Atlas makes this possible in the simplest way.
All you do is type one sentence once and you will get a notification to your inbox every morning before you wake up with the weather, stocks, and the latest news.

A recurring task doesn’t have to be work.
It can be already done for you right when you need it.
Automate absolutely any task you can type in plain language with Atlas.

This is why I built Atlas the other way round — it pauses only when a task actually breaks, three failures in a row, and tells you when it does. Opens Soon, waitlist at https://t.co/2J7y58IMbA.
Your scheduled AI task probably stopped running and didn’t tell you.
ChatGPT Tasks auto-pauses anything you stop opening. Working task, no failure — it just goes quiet. It’s a reasonable default and almost nobody knows it’s on.
If you rely on a recurring task, go check it’s still alive.
