My name is Simon Dupont-Gellert (ceo & head of design at 2.13), and as a developer and designer, I’ve often encountered a major frustration: searching on the internet. While traditional search engines exist, their efficiency, interface, and ability to precisely meet users’ needs often fall short. That's why I decided to create atlas, a meta search engine that I built primarily for the pleasure of simplifying the search process and enhancing the user experience.
Why atlas (by 2.13)?
The idea behind atlas is to solve a problem I’ve always felt personally: searching on the internet can be complicated, cluttered with options and irrelevant results. By simplifying the search process, I wanted to provide a tool that is both powerful and intuitive, combining traditional search engines with innovative features. atlas enables users to navigate the web in a smoother, faster, and more efficient way. This project was driven by my desire to make searching enjoyable without sacrificing the quality of the results.

You can simply activate the microphone and ask a question or speak a search term to get immediate relevant results. This feature is an asset for those who prefer voice interaction, providing a faster and more natural experience.
