Help bring Athena to life.
Athena does more than answer questions. It helps get real tasks done.
Meet Athena, a smart assistant designed to make phone calls, handle conversations, and follow up for people and businesses.
We've built an early working version. Our Kickstarter campaign is live, and we're inviting people who believe in the idea to help take it further.
Pledges are handled securely on Kickstarter.
Good intentions don't make the call.
A lead never gets followed up with. An appointment stays empty. A service issue drags on. A task sits on someone's list for another week.
The problem isn't always that people don't know what to do. Often, they simply don't have the time to do it.
Athena is being built for that gap between knowing what needs to happen and making it happen.
One mission. Real conversations. Useful outcomes.
Tell Athena what you're trying to achieve. With the right setup, it can handle the conversations and steps involved, then report back on what happened.
Keep appointments moving
Handle routine inquiries, collect scheduling preferences, and pass requests to the right workflow or team.
Handle the calls you put off
Work toward everyday goals that involve calling a service provider, asking questions, or gathering information.
Availability depends on the use case, integrations, permissions, and workflow configuration. Athena does not guarantee bookings, negotiations, or task completion.
Don't take our word for it. Hear the demo.
Athena is more than a concept. We've built an early working version that can carry out voice-based conversations in configured workflows. Here's what that sounds like.
Demo conversation · 38 seconds
Finding a restaurant table
Lena asks about another available time and confirms a table after clarifying the short wait.
Read the demo summary
The restaurant is fully booked at 6. Lena asks for the next available time and hears that a 6:45 table may have a short wait on arrival. Once that works, Lena books a table for four on Friday at 6:45 under Emma.

We're open to conversations with people who can help Athena reach the market through introductions, distribution, advice, or potential investment.
Let's Talk A conversation, not an offer of securities or published investment terms.What your support helps us build.
The first version proves the direction. The next stage is about making Athena useful, dependable, and ready for real customers.
More practical workflows
Improve the tasks and integrations businesses can actually use.
A more reliable experience
Invest in testing, monitoring, and handling real-world edge cases.
A path to market
Work closely with early customers, gather feedback, and develop a repeatable way to bring Athena to more people.
These are intended priorities, not a formal allocation of raised funds.
The person behind Athena.
I'm the founder of Athena, and I've spent more than a decade building software products and leading engineering teams.
I started Athena around a simple belief: intelligent assistants should do more than tell us what to do. They should help us finish the work.
I've built the initial product. Now I'm looking for people who want to help turn it into something customers use every day.
