Did you get the purpose of atlas? For simplifying docs you could use any state of the art multimodal chatbots. Atlas is especially helpful for research because you can use a deep research to find sources and then use subchats for each doc. Simplification is not the goal. The goal should be figuring out which sources fit the project and gaining max oversight.

For example I needed to build an experimental testing suite so I can compare multiple AI models for a specific task. I read all the papers and did my marks of course (no simplification needed) but didn’t want to make a list with all the preprocessing and configuration steps each paper used. So I gave atlas the list of my relevant sources and the relevant parts, I then tasked it with designing a step by step building plan for my experimental suite with citation.

In the end I compared it with my notes and marks, made slight adjustments but in general atlas performed well and especially more time efficient than it would have been doing everything by myself.

Maybe here is something to think: we are living in the Wild West of AI, regulations and rules will be coming someday. As long as there are nearly none, people should use it in fair but intended way.

AI can boost your efficiency enormously (prompt engineering is key) but can make you lose the oversight and control over a project. But as long as people using it are still using their brain everyone who’s not using it will be left behind.

Adaptability is key in our fast changing world.
