01 Three ways to talk to it

One assistant, three modes.

R
Chat

Rex

Fast, streaming answers from a local model, with markdown, code blocks and a Stop button for when you change your mind.

“Hey Rex”
A
Screen

Atlas

Looks at the display under your cursor and answers about it: read this text, summarize this page, what is this error. It only looks when you ask.

“Hey Atlas”
J
Voice

Jarvis

Spoken answers. Open apps, add tasks, and optionally run shell commands, each one shown for your approval first.

“Hey Jarvis”
02 Voice

Just say its name.

Say “Hey Jarvis” and ask. It answers out loud, opens apps, adds tasks and can even pull a place up on a holographic globe.

  • “Open Safari”
  • “Add a task: call the dentist”
  • “What is on my screen right now?”
03 Private by default

Nothing leaves your Mac.

100%local models

The models run through Ollama on your own machine, with llama3.2 for chat and moondream for vision. No telemetry. Your conversations are stored locally in Application Support.

04 Install

Ready in four steps.

  1. 01

    Install Ollama

    Download it from ollama.com and open it once. It runs the models on your Mac.

  2. 02

    Open the DMG

    Drag Atlas AI into Applications.

  3. 03

    Allow it once

    macOS will say it can't verify the app, because it isn't notarized yet. Open System Settings, Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway.

  4. 04

    Finish setup

    Atlas AI checks Ollama and downloads the chat model (2.0 GB) and the vision model (1.7 GB). Voice and screen access are optional.

Not notarized yet, so macOS asks you to approve it once. Verify the download with shasum -a 256 Atlas-AI-1.0.dmg.

05 Good to know

Small, fast models

A 3B text model and a 1.7B vision model, so it runs on any recent Mac. Great for everyday help, not frontier-level reasoning.

Optional neural voice

Spoken replies use the macOS voice by default. A higher-quality neural voice can be added separately.

The holographic globe works, but pin placement is still approximate while I finish it.
