# Accessing Atlas

Learn how to access Atlas, which is included with every AlgoAlpha plan, and sign in through app.algoalpha.io/atlas.

### Access

Atlas is included with **every AlgoAlpha plan**. This includes the **Indicators Plan, Signals Plan, and VIP Bundle**. You do not need to purchase Atlas separately.

Your Atlas access remains active for as long as you have an active AlgoAlpha subscription.

### Logging In

1. Visit the [site](https://app.algoalpha.io/atlas) and click **Login** in the top navigation.
2. Sign in with the AlgoAlpha account linked to your active subscription.
3. Once authenticated, you will be redirected to the **Atlas** chat.

You'll be taken directly to the Atlas chat interface, ready to start searching.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don't have an AlgoAlpha plan yet, you can create one at [www.algoalpha.io](https://www.algoalpha.io/). **Any AlgoAlpha plan includes access to Atlas.**
{% endhint %}

### What You'll See

After logging in, Atlas opens to a clean chat interface with:

* A greeting: **"Hi, I'm Atlas."**
* A prompt: **"What strategy are we building today?"**
* A text input at the bottom for your message
* Your credit balance in the top-right corner
