ThornThe AI chief of staff for founders
Atlas holds everything you know about your business. Thorn won't let you ignore what matters.
Built by founders, for founders · Open source
You pitch a half-baked idea and your AI says "love it." You need someone who tells you when it's bad.
Your strategy is in Notion, competitors in a spreadsheet, the rest is in your head. Good luck getting useful advice from that.
"I'll do it this week" was three weeks ago. Nobody called you out. Your projects quietly died while you were answering emails.
Every new chat starts from zero. You explain your business, your goals and your team again. It's like hiring an intern every morning.
You've tried five AI tools this year. They all did one thing well and nothing else. Now you have five dashboards and zero system.

Thorn
Heads up. Your competitor doc is 3 weeks old. I went ahead and refreshed it.
What changed?

One of them shipped a new integration layer. I added it to the comparison table. You might want to look at pricing too.
Later. What else?

The blog post draft has been sitting for 12 days. I cleaned it up and its ready now. Ship it or kill it.
Ship it.

Done. You can see it on your website.
Your calendar, deadlines, and priorities show up on WhatsApp before your first coffee. No checking three apps.
Tell Thorn something once. It remembers next week, next month, next quarter. No more repeating yourself.
Go from rough idea to published post without leaving the conversation. Research, write, edit, ship.
Who launched what, who raised how much, who's coming for your market. Structured and always up to date.
WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, CLI. Thorn lives where you already work. Not another tab to check.
One file defines who Thorn is. How it talks, what it cares about, when it pushes back. Your AI, your rules.
Nothing you don't.
A human chief of staff costs $8,000/month. Not having one? That's the expensive part.
Free to self-host. Paid plans start at $40/mo.
