Athena Sheets: Formulas, AOPs and Citations

The =AOP() function executes an Agent Operating Procedure (AOP) directly from your spreadsheet and displays the returned value in the cell. This enables you to run pre-configured AI workflows on spreadsheet data without leaving Sheets.

=AOP(AOP_ID, “var1”, “var1_value”, “var2”, “var2_value”)

AOP_ID: The asset ID of the AOP you want to execute (required)“var1”, “var1_value”: Variable name and value pairs to pass as inputs to the AOP (optional)Additional variable pairs can be added as needed

Variable values can be:

• Cell references: Reference other cells in your spreadsheet (e.g., C4, B2)
• Literal values: Provide direct string, number, or boolean values
• Formulas: Use the result of other spreadsheet formulas

​

Example Usage:

• Execute AOP without inputs
• Execute AOP with cell reference inputs
• Execute AOP with multiple inputs
• Use with literal values

1

Create or identify an AOP

First, create an AOP in the AOP Library or identify the asset ID of an existing AOP you want to execute.

2

Use =AOP() in a cell

In any cell inside the sheet, enter the AOP function with the AOP asset ID and press Enter.

Example

=AOP(“asset_55ed8502-1233-4f10-b79d-c43c2eb1b251”)

The AOP will execute and the result will be displayed in the cell.

1

Prepare your data

Organize your data in spreadsheet cells. For example, put a company name in cell A4.

2

Use =AOP() with variable inputs

Pass cell references as variable values to the AOP. The AOP will use the data from the referenced cells.

Variable Input

=AOP(“asset_55ed8502-1233-4f10-b79d-c43c2eb1b251”, “company_name”, A4)

The AOP receives company_name with the value from cell A4.

You can also use a document as an input for an AOP run.

Document Input

=AOP(“asset_55ed8502-1233-4f10-b79d-c43c2eb1b251”, “document”, A4)

In this example, the AOP receives a document input (“document”) with the value from cell A4.

1

Identify required variables

Check your AOP configuration to see what input variables it expects.

2

Pass multiple variable pairs

Provide multiple variable name and value pairs to pass multiple inputs to the AOP.

Example

=AOP(“asset_55ed8502-1233-4f10-b79d-c43c2eb1b251”, “document”, A4, “company_name”, B4)

This example passes two variables: document input (from cell A4), company_name (from cell B4).

1

Use =AOP() with direct values

You can pass literal string, number, or boolean values directly without using cell references.

Example

=AOP(“asset_55ed8502-1233-4f10-b79d-c43c2eb1b251”, “product”, “Enterprise Plan”, “price_limit”, 10000)

This example passes literal values directly to the AOP without referencing cells.

How Deep Citations Work

• Citation count: See the total number of citations extracted (e.g., 380 citations)
• Source document reference: Each citation shows the source file (e.g., Meta.pdf)
• Exact location: Page numbers and specific text excerpts from the source
• Quick navigation: Click any citation to jump directly to that location in the source document

​

Using the Data Sources Panel

• Citations tab: Lists all citations with their source references and page numbers
• Snips tab: View extracted snippets and their source locations
• Side-by-side view: Open the source document alongside your spreadsheet to verify data in context
• Source preview: Hover over citations to see the exact text that was extracted
