Workflow automation - Athena Intelligence

An Agent Operating Procedure (AOP) defines reusable work for an agent in Olympus. It contains instructions, input parameters, and an agent configuration. A trigger determines when a run starts. Tools give the agent actions it can use during that run.

Choose the starting point

You need to	Use
Try a task and refine its instructions	A session with Athena
Repeat a task with different inputs	An AOP
Run a procedure at a set time	A Schedule trigger on the AOP
Start when an email arrives	An Email trigger on the AOP
Start after a meeting transcript is ready	A Meeting trigger on the AOP
Give an agent an action such as reading a file	A tool or toolkit

Choose an Automation when you need explicit steps, approvals, and budgets around repeatable work. Automations are separate assets from sessions and AOPs. An Automation can include an AOP run as one step.

Build a procedure

Describe the source material, steps, and expected output.
Configure the agent and its tools. Add input parameters for values that change.
Run a test and review the output and external actions.
Add a trigger when the procedure is ready to run unattended. Check account access, timing, and notification settings.
Review run results. Check completed actions before retrying a failed run; a retry starts a new execution.
