Word, PowerPoint, and Excel rebuilt as collaborative spaces where agents work in your files—full fidelity, track changes on every edit, byte-stable export.
Proven at scale: 1M-row CSV compared in about 7 seconds, 95 sub-agents editing one workbook without conflict.
When Office files are handled as attachments, you send one in, you get one back, and you have three options: use the old one, trust the new one, or rebuild by hand. None of that is review.
Meanwhile the work of every finance, audit, legal, and operations team still lives in.xlsx,.docx, and.pptx. That is not going to change.
The document is the workspace. Treat it like one.
Open the file in a Studio. Upload or connect from SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, or iManage. Fonts, masters, macros, and formulas survive import.
Ask for the work. In the side panel, in chat, from an AOP, or by email. "Build the deck from this sheet." "Turn these six partner files into the template." "Draft the memo with citations."
Watch it happen. Athena edits through three Python SDKs, Athena's Python library for PowerPoint, athena-openpyxl, and athena-python-docx, that flush every change into the live document. Collaborators see it as it lands.
Review, not redo. Compare in Editor. Track changes attributed to the person or the agent. Roll back a range, a slide, or a paragraph. Export byte-stable (identical binary output).
Studios. Word, PowerPoint, and Sheets as live documents. Full-fidelity import and export, your templates, track changes, Compare. Sheets handle 1M+ rows with =ATHENA(), =ATHENAQUERY(), =AOP() in the cell.
| Capability | People can | Agents can | Together |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studios | Edit as you always have, in the browser or through the Office add-in. | Build the deck, draft the memo, fill the model, in the same file. | Live co-editing; every change signed; accept or roll back by range. |
Anything a person can do here, an agent can do with the same permissions, and both land in the same audit trail.
The most common first-week request on Athena. Attach the sheet, name the template, get slides with the right numbers in the right places and a citation chip on each figure. Brand kits import from your website or an existing deck.
Draft from your firm's templates with citations attached to the supporting passage, so a reviewer inspects rather than reconstructs. Comments and track changes work across human and agent edits. iManage and SharePoint connectors keep the file where it lives.
Over a million rows. =ATHENA, =ATHENAQUERY, and =AOP in the cell. Attribution on every save. Sheet Queries that preserve your existing Power Query connections. Deep dive on the child page: Athena Sheets.
Byte-stable round-tripping, template adherence, brand kits from a URL, template editing. Data-to-deck from Excel, Databricks, or Snowflake.
A fully self-hosted Office system that never touches Microsoft. Some customers need exactly that. It is the same product.
“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.”
“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.”
“Man, this is by far the biggest value every AI is presentations. Gosh. The amount of time that's been wasted building charts. It's just incredible.”
“Does look pretty much very impressive compared to everything else that we're exploring.”
“Essentially the Office suite of products with an AI directly embedded in it.”
“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.”
“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.”
Verbatim from customer calls. Customers anonymized.
Studios are the surfaces. Agents work in them ad hoc. Workflows (Agent Operating Procedures) produce them on schedule. Applications put them in front of the many.
Every save attributed to a human or an agent, with session and message context.
Compare in Editor before anyone presents. Selective rollback.
Restrict an agent to specific ranges of a sheet.
Version history; time-travel to the version a reviewer saw.
Studios are digital twins, not Microsoft Office. Standard documents, formulas, masters, and most macros round-trip cleanly. Exotic embedded objects sometimes do not. We flag what did not import; we do not drop it silently.
Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations that people and agents edit together.
Yes. Studios work with standard Office files and your templates.
Yes. Every edit is attributed and can be rolled back.
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.
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.
Build, Work, and Data on top; 150+ connectors and every surface in and out; one map of the whole platform.
We will build it from your data, in your template, while you watch. Then hand you the workflow.
