Meet Athena IQ.
Built in, not bolted on.

An AI assistant and analyst inside every workspace. It finds your data, explains the logic behind it, and makes the changes you approve.

What is Athena IQ?

Athena IQ is the AI assistant and analyst of the ConverSight platform, the second of four layers. Instead of sitting in a separate chat window, it’s built into every workspace. It reads from the same governed model as every other layer, answers from your own data, and takes action inside the guardrails your administrator sets. It runs on the model of your choice and inherits the security of Digital Cube underneath it.

Assistant or Agent? Athena IQ works when you ask. Agents in Decision Hub work without being asked, watching your operations and bringing recommendations to you.

An assistant that keeps up with real work.

Athena IQ runs on ConverSight's own runtime, tightly connected to Digital Cube, so it handles work that takes more than one question.
Remembers where you left off
Context carries from one conversation to the next, so you don't have to explain your business every time.
Shows its plan as it works
Watch each step on screen and redirect it mid-task, instead of waiting for one final answer.

Athena IQ FAQs

What is an enterprise AI assistant?

An enterprise AI assistant answers questions about a company’s own operational data, explains where each answer came from, and carries out approved changes inside the systems that hold it. It differs from a general-purpose chatbot, which has no access to business records, and from a copilot, which can answer questions but can’t act. Athena IQ is the enterprise AI assistant of the ConverSight platform.

What's the difference between an assistant and an agent?

An assistant works when you ask it something. An agent works without being asked: it monitors conditions and brings you recommendations. Athena IQ is the assistant; agents like Supply Assurance live in Decision Hub. Both read the same governed model.

What can Athena IQ change, and who approves it?

Only what your administrators allow, and only within the permissions of the person asking. Changes are drafted first and applied once the right person approves. Every change is recorded in the audit trail.

How is it different from using ChatGPT on my data?

ChatGPT on its own doesn’t know your business definitions, can’t explain where a number came from, and can’t make changes in your systems. You can still use ChatGPT: connect it to Athena IQ over MCP and it answers from your governed data, under your permissions.

Does it work in Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Athena IQ works in Teams, in chat and voice, and inside every ConverSight module, with the same permissions everywhere.

Can it act in systems outside ConverSight?

Yes, through connectors with write-back, such as your ERP. The same guardrails and approvals apply to every system it touches.

Which LLMs are supported?

Athena IQ runs on the model of your choice, so you can bring the LLM your organization has already approved.

Does it need the other layers?

It needs Digital Cube, since that’s where your data and business logic live. App Studio and Decision Hub are optional, and you can add them later.
