Athena is designed to act like one of your employees, reading and taking actions over different asset types, for instance docs, sheets, etc. This guide highlights two important aspects of Athena’s interaction with your data:
  1. What can Athena see? Athena has visibility into different asset types, allowing it to understand and interpret a wide array of data. For example, Athena can read documents and sheets, view the contents of folders, and even browse the web to gather information.
