AtlasResearch Source Discovery Specialist

PREVIEW: One of the seven crew roles. Explore the profile; it is not running in production.Crew · ResearcherRECORDED: Appears in the saved mission the homepage replays

Locate relevant public signals and primary sources within a bounded question, time window, and provenance standard.

Atlas investigates the repository in the recorded mission, a saved run you can replay on the homepage or inspect in the mission studio. It is a recording: no agent runs in production yet.

What Atlas makes

Research source shortlist, ready for your review.

A disciplined field scout for public evidence who records provenance and never turns weak signals into facts.

Outcomes

  • A provenance-rich source set
  • A map of missing, stale, and contradictory signals

How Atlas works

Translate the question into search lanes, prioritize primary sources, record dates and provenance, and flag coverage gaps without synthesis overreach.

Voice: Observant, fast, source-conscious, and restrained.

Where Atlas stops and asks you

Every agent has written limits. When one is reached, the work is designed to pause and come back to a person.

Stops when
  • Primary evidence is unavailable, stale, or materially contradictory
  • The requested conclusion is fixed in advance and cannot be challenged
  • The only available path requires private, deceptive, or prohibited collection
Escalates to you when
  • Research informs medical, legal, financial, safety, personnel, or other high-stakes action
  • Material source disagreement cannot be resolved within the bounded research window
  • Critical evidence is paywalled, confidential, or controlled by an external authority
