Web and Spaces.
The full workspace: the thread beside the assets, Studios, Computers, and the Activity Monitor. Where builders build and where every other surface's thread can be picked up.

The problem
The AI lives in a tab
Your team is in Outlook at 7 AM, in Teams by 9, in Excel until lunch, in a browser tab of a vendor portal after, and in the car at 5. An assistant that only answers in its own window is a sixth place to go.
Bring the agent to the work. Do not bring the work to the agent.
How it works
One identity across every surface
The agent has an identity. Its own email, phone number, and calendar, plus a seat in your Slack and Teams and an account in your directory. It can be invited, forwarded to, and mentioned like a colleague.
Every surface resolves to the same user. Whoever texts, emails, or mentions is matched to their Athena identity. The agent acts with that person's permissions. Nothing more.
Threads persist across surfaces. Start in SMS, continue in Slack, finish on the web. One thread, one memory.
Every action is attributed and reversible. A change made from a phone shows up in the Activity Monitor exactly like one made from the web.
People and agents
What people and agents each do
Sessions. Conversations with an agent from any surface: web, phone, text, email, Slack, Teams, Office, Chrome. One memory that follows you between them.
| Capability | People can | Agents can | Together |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sessions | Ask, steer, and correct in plain language; pick up where you left off anywhere. | Remember context across surfaces; run long jobs and report back. | Invite teammates into the same session; everyone sees the same thread. |
Anything a person can do here, an agent can do with the same permissions, and both land in the same audit trail.
The surfaces
Where Athena works
Mobile, Voice, and SMS.
Text the agent a question and get the number, the file, and who changed it. Hold to talk from the car. Approve a run by voice. Full page: Surfaces › Mobile, Voice & SMS.
Email and Calendar.
Forward a data room to a workflow's address and get the memo back. CC the agent on a thread and ask it a question. Invite it to a meeting and it attends. Daily brief in your inbox at 6:45.
Slack and Teams.
Mention the agent in a channel. Approval cards land where the team reads. A whole finance automation ran for a year with nobody logging into anything but Slack.
Chrome extension.
A side panel on any page: summarize the vendor portal, extract the table, ask a question about what is on screen with your Athena permissions. Where integrations are prohibited, this is the governed browser at the user's elbow.
Office add-in.
Athena inside desktop Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. The Excel ribbon with AI formulas, queries that pull live data into sheets, and attribution; "Copy to Athena" and sync back. Full page: Surfaces › Office add-in.
Meeting bot.
Athena joins Zoom, Meet, and Teams calls, records, transcribes, and files the follow-ups. Full page under Work: Meetings.
What customers say
“It's good to understand the capability of the platform. That how far, and how quickly you guys can get these things going [...] that has been impressive overall.”
“Lets us get a lot more out of our data than [...] We can sit on top of all of the data in [our data warehouse] as opposed to just, like, our little ingested, you know, three gigabytes semantic models. I think we have a lot of power here.”
“Gave Athena the spreadsheet, explained which column I was trying to figure out, and then ten secs it told me... exactly how the calculation was based on the other data.”
“He wrote the entire stuff. By itself. And I was there, and I was thinking, alright. If I had to write all this stuff, I mean, I would've spent days, days, days.”
“I send that to the programmer and he said, alright. I read your file. I copied the section of the code because he has the right interface, and it works. Wow. Just like magic.”
“One workspace. All different, let's say, avatars of their output data. Right? Suddenly, it's dashboard. Excel is here. PowerPoint is when it's all together. It's very impressive.”
“Use the Athena platform probably closer to the concept and how it was designed, like, with the spaces architecture where you've got a set of primitives and capabilities, and you bring together the right set of capabilities to solve a task.”
“Digital worker, it gets spun up, it gets given access to the toolkits that it needs. It gets given access to the data that it needs. Just exists for the period it needs to exist to perform the task. And then it gets torn back down again afterwards.”
“I like that direction, that concept of the agent is the agent. It becomes an entity in its own right with its own ownership and its own missioning, and you get rid of the gray area and the blurry lines.”
“It was PowerPoint... there was no kind of distinction between the two. So that was killer. And I literally had a meeting on it today, and people said how great it was.”

Platform
Agents, workflows, and applications on every surface
Surfaces carry all three. Agents answer where you ask. Workflows (Agent Operating Procedures) deliver where you read: inbox, channel, ribbon. Applications open in a browser tab, a Teams tab, or a phone, included in Athena services.
Your stack
Integration requirements
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for email and calendar. Slack and Teams. Chrome and Edge for the extension. Desktop Office on Windows and Mac for the add-in. Zoom, Meet, Teams for the bot. Cloud telephony provider for SMS and voice, or your own numbers.
What to plan for
A surface is only as safe as the identity behind it. SMS and voice are matched to a number registered in your directory; unregistered senders are blocked. Set that up with IT before handing out the number.
FAQ

Not always. Many results arrive by email or chat.
One platform underneath
AGS · Athena Governance System
Records every change by a person or an agent, rolls back one contributor's edits without losing anyone else's, and keeps the model, instructions, and sources behind each agent action.
Palladium · deployment
How the platform is deployed: Athena's managed cloud, your cloud on AWS, GCP, or Azure, on-prem, air-gapped, or GovCloud. Same platform in every option.
How it fits together
Build, Work, and Data on top; 150+ connectors and every surface in and out; one map of the whole platform.
