How it works

Your materials become
expert answers.

How Athena works — your benefits materials become expert answers and actionable workforce intelligence
Trust & accuracy

Built on your plans.
Not generic information.

Athena is trained exclusively on your actual benefits materials. Every answer references real plan information — not internet generics or hallucinated coverage details.

Source-grounded responses

Every answer traces directly to your uploaded benefits documents — references visible to employees.

Trained by our team

Our implementation team trains Athena on your plan documents, OE materials, and FAQs — you provide the materials, we do the work.

No PHI required

Employees ask questions in plain language. No protected health information is collected or stored.

Employer-governed communication

Every response stays within your approved standards. Your benefits team retains full visibility and control.

Workforce intelligence

Understand what your workforce
needs most.

Athena transforms employee benefits questions into anonymized workforce intelligence. Monthly reporting helps employers and brokers identify recurring topics, communication gaps, and emerging trends so they can better support their workforce.
