Getting started

The Gatlas help center. Begin with the onboarding guide, or go straight to the step you are on.

Start with the onboarding guide

The onboarding guide takes a portfolio group from a new account to its first answer in Claude. Each step says who does it, and none of it needs anyone from Gatlas. In short:

  1. Sign up at gatlas.ai/signup and name your organization, usually your holding company or fund.
  2. Add your companies on Entities, grouped the way your portfolio is.
  3. Connect each company's tools, or send a setup link to the person who can. The first sync starts by itself within about five minutes; nobody has to start it.
  4. Shape the synced data into views, and publish the ones AI assistants should use.
  5. Give people access with a Gatlas login, an MCP connection, or both. An MCP connection is how AI assistants such as Claude connect to Gatlas.

  • Connect each company's tools

    Connect the tools a company keeps its numbers in yourself, or send a setup link to the person at the company who can sign in to them.

    Connecting sourcesConnect them step by step

  • Turn raw data into views

    A view is a named dataset with a description that every AI answer about it starts from. Build one in the app, or ask Claude to build it.

    Views and SQLGuides

  • Give people access

    Invite colleagues with the role they need, and choose which companies each of them sees. Someone without a Gatlas login can get an MCP connection instead.

    Team and accessMCP connections

  • Ask questions in Claude

    Connect Claude or Cursor to Gatlas, then ask about revenue or receivables across your companies in plain language.

    Using your MCP connectionFirst questions to ask

  • Keep every source healthy

    Sources shows each connection's status; Error or Reconnect needed means a sync failed or access to the tool ran out. Entities rolls this up per company, showing the worst of its sources, so Stale means one of them has not synced in 48 hours. Slack alerts tell you before anyone asks.

Learn one feature at a time

Each guide walks through one feature or use case, with prompts you can copy into Claude.

  • Views in 3 minutes

    Have you ever found yourself checking the same data or rebuilding the same analysis over and over? Views help you turn raw source data into reusable business datasets, so Claude can answer recurring questions without reconstructing the logic every time.
