Organizations

Organizations let you track the companies, teams, and groups you interact with. Link people to organizations and Atlas can give you a fuller picture of your professional relationships — “who do I know at Acme Corp?” becomes an instant query rather than a mental exercise.

What You Can Store for Each Organization

Field	Description
Name	Organization name
Type	Category (e.g., “company”, “nonprofit”, “team”, “community”)
Industry	Sector or vertical (e.g., “healthcare”, “fintech”, “education”)
Website	URL
Location	Headquarters or primary location
Tags	Labels for grouping and filtering
Linked People	Contacts associated with this organization
Notes	Free-form notes — history, context, anything useful

Adding Organizations

Through the UI: Open the Organizations tab and click the + button.

Through chat: Tell Atlas — “add Acme Corp as a client company in the SaaS industry” — and it will create the record.

Tip

When you add a person and mention their company, Atlas can automatically create or link the organization for you. Try: “add Sarah Lee to my contacts — she’s VP of Sales at Cloudify, a B2B software company.”

Linking People to Organizations

Open an organization record and use the Linked People field to associate contacts. You can also link from the person’s record by editing their Company or using the relationships section. Once linked, the network graph shows the connection visually.

Where Organization Data Is Stored

Each organization is stored as a markdown file at:

<vault>/atlas/network/organizations/{id}.md

Like all Atlas data, this is plain text — you can edit these files directly or read them in any markdown editor.

Asking Atlas About Organizations

Because organization records are in your vault, you can ask Atlas questions like:

• “What do I know about Cloudify?”
• “Who do I know at Acme Corp?”
• “Show me all companies tagged ‘investor’”
• “Update Cloudify’s notes — they just closed a Series B”
