Overview
Atlas is an opinionated writing tool that treats AI as a collaborator, not an overlay. Every surface is reachable by keyboard and tuned for long-form thinking.
Problem
Most AI writing tools feel bolted on - modal dialogs, sluggish streams, and a loss of authorial voice. I wanted something closer to a good editor than a chat window.
Approach
Built on a custom Plate-based editor with command-driven AI actions, streamed inline at the caret. Draft history is a first-class object you can diff and restore.
Selected details
- Caret-inline streaming with abort-on-edit semantics
- Draft history with diff view and one-click restore
- Keyboard-first: every action reachable without the mouse
Outcome
A focused writing environment that feels immediate, with the AI doing less and the writer doing more.
