Athena Browser: Automate Chrome Web Tasks

The Browser toolkit lets Athena operate a Chrome browser from plain-language instructions: navigate sites, click buttons, fill in forms, download files and extract data across pages. Browser profiles keep logins and cookies between runs, so Athena can work in vendor portals, competitor sites and older systems that have no API.

​

Key Features

​

Automated Web Navigation

Navigate through websites and follow links automatically based on your instructions. Browser intelligently traverses web pages, finding and accessing the information you need without manual clicking.

See the legal research walkthrough.

​

Browser Profiles

Create and manage persistent browser profiles that maintain login sessions, cookies, and browsing state across multiple automation runs. Browser profiles enable you to automate workflows on websites that require authentication without repeatedly logging in, making it ideal for accessing vendor portals, internal systems, or any authenticated web applications.

​

Browser Profile Configuration

When you create or edit a browser profile, you’ll see a configuration interface that allows you to customize how Athena interacts with specific websites on your behalf. The browser profile configuration interface contains several key sections: Profile Header displays the profile name, unique Asset ID, and timestamps for when the profile was created and last updated. Action Buttons let you use the profile via “Load in Chat” (opens within your chat session) or “Start Browse Session” (launches a standalone browser). Links specifies URLs where this profile’s saved credentials should be used. Add multiple URLs if your authentication covers several subdomains or related applications. Use Description to explain the profile’s purpose and the system it accesses. This helps team members understand when to use this profile. Guidelines sets operational rules for how Athena should behave, such as actions to avoid or security reminders. These guardrails ensure safe use of authenticated sessions. Profile fields save collaboratively as you edit; there is no Save Changes button. Metadata (Debug) shows technical information in JSON format, including profile ID and source session ID, useful for troubleshooting or API integration.

​

Profile execution preferences

You need edit access to the profile to change these preferences.

1. Open the profile’s Browse Profile tab.
2. Under Proxy, Stealth & Captcha, set Proxy, Stealth, and Captcha to On, Off, or No preference.
3. Start a new session from the profile, mention it in chat, or ask Athena to use it with the Web Browser toolkit. The saved preferences apply to those sessions.

No preference keeps the system default and allows an explicit request to choose the setting. The system defaults are proxy off, stealth on, and captcha off.

Related chats in Athena in Chrome

1. Open Athena in Chrome on the page you are browsing.
2. Select Related chats.
3. Select a conversation to reopen it.

The list shows accessible conversations associated with the page. This requires an extension connection that supports related chats.

​

Content Download

Automatically download files, reports, and documents from websites. Files downloaded during Browser sessions are automatically stored in your drive, ensuring easy access and organization of your collected data.

See the SEC filing download walkthrough.

​

Integration with Athena Ecosystem

Use information collected in a browser session in documents and spreadsheets in Olympus.

See the regulatory research walkthrough.

​

Interactive Element Control

Click buttons, fill forms, select dropdowns, and interact with any UI elements on web pages. Automate form submissions, login workflows, and complex multi-step interactions across websites.

​

Data Extraction

Extract and structure data from web pages automatically. Browser can identify, collect, and organize information from tables, lists, and text content into structured formats ready for analysis.

​

Session Recording and Playback

Browser automatically records session activities, enabling you to review what actions were taken during automation. Session recordings provide transparency and help troubleshoot issues, while also serving as documentation for compliance and audit purposes. Session recordings capture:

• Page Navigation: Complete history of visited URLs and navigation paths
• User Interactions: Clicks, form fills, and element interactions
• Screenshots: Visual documentation of key steps and results
• Timing Information: Duration of each action and overall workflow execution time
