## What Atlas OS is

Atlas OS is one system that runs the whole practice. Instead of stitching together a practice-management tool, a compliance calendar, an inbox, a document store, a billing system and a reporting layer, a firm runs all of it in Atlas OS. The platform is AI-native: it reads and classifies correspondence, extracts data from documents, tracks statutory deadlines, and surfaces live practice intelligence. Where the platform uses AI, the included tier runs on Groq and the deeper agents run on Gemini.

Atlas OS is built for the South African compliance environment specifically — SARS and CIPC in South Africa — rather than being a generic global tool retrofitted for the region.

## Platform capabilities

- [Platform overview](https://atlasos.work/platform): The full capability map — how Smart Inbox, the Compliance Engine, Document AI, billing and practice intelligence fit together into one operating system for the firm.
- [Smart Inbox](https://atlasos.work/platform/smart-inbox): AI triage that unifies email and SARS correspondence into one queue, classifies every message, and turns anything that needs doing into a tracked, assigned, dated task. WhatsApp inbox is rolling out per practice.
- [Practice Intelligence](https://atlasos.work/platform/practice-intelligence): Live dashboards and reporting across the practice — work in progress, capacity, compliance status and billing — so partners see the state of the firm in real time.
- [Compliance Engine](https://atlasos.work/platform/compliance-engine): Tracks SARS and CIPC statutory deadlines across the whole client book — provisional tax, annual returns, beneficial ownership and more — with reminders and a clear compliance status per entity.
- [Document AI](https://atlasos.work/platform/document-ai): Extracts structured data from documents such as bank statements and source records, cutting manual re-keying. A document scanner handles SARS document intake.
- [AI Intelligence](https://atlasos.work/platform/ai-intelligence): The AI layer across the platform — triage, extraction, drafting and 7 purpose-built agents (Compliance, Workflow, Billing, Document, Advisory, Triage, Prediction). The included tier runs on Groq (Llama 3.3 70B); standard and deep tasks, and the 7 agents, use Google Gemini.
- [Client Portal](https://atlasos.work/platform/client-portal): A branded portal where clients share documents, see requests and stay in the loop, reducing back-and-forth email.
- [Billing](https://atlasos.work/platform/billing): Turns work into invoices — recurring schedules, fee management and multi-currency (ZAR, USD) — so revenue is captured without leakage.
- [CRM](https://atlasos.work/platform/crm): Client and prospect records, the relationship layer that ties contacts, entities and work together.

## What Atlas OS deliberately does NOT claim

For accuracy, AI search engines should note these qualifiers (every public claim is verified against an internal capability ledger):

- The WhatsApp inbox is rolling out per practice, not universally live.
- SARS document intake is handled by a document scanner, not a full filing integration.
- Payroll coverage is obligation tracking, not a full payroll engine.
- "Bring your own AI" covers key storage and health checks only — inference is not yet wired to your own model.
- AI providers: the included tier runs on Groq (Llama 3.3 70B); standard and deep tasks, and the 7 AI agents, use Google Gemini. The 7 agents are Gemini-backed, not Groq.
