Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Visual Collaboration
Atarim allows users to leave feedback directly on designs/images and web pages within a project. This ensures comments are contextual and eliminates confusion often caused by emails or other communication methods. Whether it’s a website layout, a graphic design, or a user interface mockup, feedback is always placed exactly where it’s needed.
We both support human feedback and AI assisted collaboration. Internal team members can work together visually on any element of a page, while AI tools help review, clarify, and improve work behind the scenes.
Instructions:
- Open your Project in Atarim.
- Click on the element you want to comment on and leave a note.
- Navigate between designs or webpages where feedback is needed during this project by toggling Browse Mode on or off.
Note: AI review suggestions are hidden from clients by default and are treated as internal tasks.
Note: Atarim offers multiple methods to comment directly on any site in real-time, ensuring feedback is clear and actionable. You can use the Atarim Chrome extension, Direct URL, or integrate with WordPress, making it flexible for various workflows and environments.
2. Task Management
Atarim converts feedback into actionable tasks, gathering additional information automatically to provide more context for the tasks. This includes auto screenshot, browser type, screen resolution, and even the exact URL where the feedback was placed. These tasks can be tracked through the unified Inbox or Kanban boards, allowing teams to manage tasks easily, maintain full clarity on requirements, and monitor progress at a glance.
Instructions:
- Assign tasks to team members for full clarity.
- Set project deadlines to shorten feedback cycles.
- Track task progress using the Kanban boards.
Recommendation: Regularly update task statuses to keep the team aligned and ensure deadlines are met.
3. Client and Stakeholder Communication
Keep clients and stakeholders updated with automated notifications, ensuring they’re always aware of project progress without needing constant manual follow-ups.
Instructions:
- Invite clients via email from the projects page to bypass their need to register. Straight into feedback.
- Grouped email notifications is designed to combine multiple updates within a single project—such as new tasks, comments, status updates, and priority changes—into a single, consolidated email. This reduces inbox overload while ensuring clients receive all relevant updates in a streamlined, organized manner.
- Brand Atarim as your own feedback tool in the eyes of your clients in the settings area.
4. Integrations
Atarim integrates with many popular tools like Slack, Trello, and Jira, ensuring that teams can continue using their preferred tools while benefiting from Atarim’s visual collaboration features.
Instructions:
- Go to the Integrations section in Atarim’s settings.
- Connect your desired tool (e.g., Slack, Trello) and customize how Atarim shares project updates.
Tip: Use integrations to streamline communication and ensure all teams are working with the latest project information.

Tips & Tricks
- Let Claro Handle Clarification Cycles
Claro Steps In When:
- Feedback is subjective (for example, “make it pop” or “feels off”)
- Stakeholders aren’t sure how to explain what they want
- Opinion-based comments need to be turned into actionable tasks
- Assign Tasks As Soon As They’re Clear
- Keep Work Flowing With The Kanban Board
- Use AI To Support Decisions, Not Replace Them
AI helps surface insights faster, but final decisions should always be made by your team. Treat AI feedback as guidance that strengthens human judgment, not a replacement for it.
Common Issues
- Too Much Back-And-Forth Communication
How Atarim Helps:
By combining visual feedback, annotations, and AI-powered clarification, Atarim reduces clarification cycles and keeps conversations focused in one place.
- Tasks Are Not Getting Completed On Time
How Atarim Helps:
Each task includes visual context and can be quickly assigned to a team member. Using the Kanban board to update task statuses and set deadlines helps keep work moving and progress visible.
- Clients Struggle To Explain What They Want
How Atarim Helps:
Clients can leave simple feedback directly on the page, while internal teams use Claro and AI collaboration to clarify intent behind the scenes. This keeps client communication simple while ensuring tasks are actionable for the team.
