Purpose

The Home page serves as the central launching pad for the Athena AI search analytics tool. It provides a clean, focused chat composer where users can immediately start asking questions about their brand’s AI search presence without navigating through complex dashboards first. By placing the AI agent front and center, this page encourages users to treat Athena as an interactive data analyst. Users can type custom queries, attach supporting documents, dictate questions via voice, or use pre-configured quick prompts to instantly generate insights, competitive comparisons, and content recommendations.

​
What’s on the page

  • Greeting Header: Displays a friendly, time-of-day greeting (e.g., “Morning, Alex”) along with a subtitle confirming the active website context (e.g., “Ask Athena anything about your brand’s AI search presence”).
  • Chat Composer: The main text input area where users construct their question for Athena. The input automatically expands as the user types.
  • Attachment Preview Strip: A row inside the composer that appears when files are staged for upload. It displays small file cards or image thumbnails for each attachment alongside a remove button.
  • Composer Action Bar: The bottom row of the composer box containing interactive icons:
    • A paperclip icon to attach files.
    • A microphone icon for voice dictation (if supported by the browser).
    • An upward-pointing arrow button to send the message.
  • Quick Prompt Chips: Four clickable suggestion buttons located directly below the composer. These offer common, high-value questions the user might want to ask.

​
What you can do here

  • Send a prompt: Type a question and click the Send (arrow-up button) or press the Enter key. This submits the prompt and any attachments to Athena AI, opens the chat window in fullscreen mode, and auto-sends the message.
  • Add files or images: Click the paperclip icon to open the operating system’s file picker. You can also drag and drop files directly onto the composer box, or paste images/files from your clipboard. The files will upload and appear as previews.
  • Remove an attachment: Click the × button on any file preview. This removes the staged file from the composer and actively deletes it from storage so it isn’t orphaned.
  • Start / Stop dictation: Click the microphone icon to toggle browser speech recognition. As you speak, transcribed text is appended to your draft. Click it again to stop listening.
  • Use a quick prompt: Click any of the four preset chips below the composer. This will auto-fill the question, immediately open the fullscreen chat window, and send the prompt. The available quick prompts are:
    • How is my brand performing? (Sends: “How is my brand performing this month?”)
    • Compare my competitors (Sends: “Compare the performance of all my competitors”)
    • Which sources cite me the most? (Sends: “Which sources cite my brand the most?”)
    • What content should I create? (Sends: “What type of content should I create?”)

​
Drilldowns

  • Athena AI chat window: Submitting any prompt (via the Send button, Enter key, or a quick-prompt chip) immediately opens the Athena AI chat window in a fullscreen popover overlay. The /home page remains mounted in the background while the chat session begins.

​
Data shown

The data on this page is personalized to the logged-in user and their selected workspace:
  • The user’s first name, retrieved from their account profile.
  • The active website’s name, retrieved from the organization’s tracked websites list.
  • Subscription and feature-access entitlements determine whether the user is allowed to view this page or if they should be redirected.

Common workflows

Ask a free-form question
  1. User lands on /home and sees the greeting and chat composer.
  2. User types a question into the “Ask Athena…” text area.
  3. User presses Enter or clicks the Send button.
  4. The Athena AI chat window opens in fullscreen mode with the question auto-sent.
  5. Athena AI streams its response directly in the chat window.
Use a quick-prompt suggestion
  1. User views the four suggestion chips displayed below the composer.
  2. User clicks a chip of interest (e.g., “How is my brand performing?”).
  3. The chat window immediately opens in fullscreen with the preset prompt auto-sent.
  4. Athena AI begins generating the response.
Attach a file before asking
  1. User clicks the paperclip icon, drags a file onto the composer, or pastes a file from their clipboard.
  2. The file uploads to secure storage, and a preview thumbnail appears inside the composer.
  3. User types an accompanying question (optional) and clicks Send.
  4. The chat window opens in fullscreen with both the file and the prompt auto-sent to the AI.
Use voice dictation
  1. User clicks the microphone icon (only visible if their browser supports audio recording).
  2. The browser prompts the user to grant microphone permissions if they haven’t already.
  3. User speaks aloud, and the transcribed text automatically appears in the composer.
  4. User clicks the microphone again to stop dictation, reviews the text, and clicks Send.

Empty, loading, and error states

  • Loading: When a user navigates to the page, it renders completely blank (no skeleton or spinner) while the system verifies their active website and feature access.
  • Empty: There is no traditional “empty” state since the core purpose of the page is an input form awaiting user interaction.
Linked from:
  • The root route (/) redirects here by default for standard users.
  • The “Home” link in the left-hand navigation sidebar.
  • Direct URL navigation to app.athenahq.ai/home.
Links to:
  • Athena AI Chat: All successful submissions open the fullscreen chat interface.
  • /olympus: Acts as a redirect destination for users who do not have access to the Ask Athena feature.

​
Common support questions

Why don’t I see the microphone button? The voice dictation feature relies on built-in browser capabilities. If you are using an older browser, or certain mobile browsers that do not fully support the Web Speech API, the microphone button is automatically hidden. I tried to drag and drop two files back-to-back, but one didn’t upload. Why? Currently, the composer blocks a second file from being added if an upload is already in progress. You will see an error toast instead of the file queueing. You must wait for the first upload to finish processing before dragging or pasting the next file. If I attach a file and then delete it, is it permanently gone? Yes. If you stage a file in the composer and then click the × button to remove it before clicking Send, the system actively deletes it from storage so it doesn’t take up space. (Note: if you send the file to the chat window and later remove it from inside the chat history, it behaves differently and may not be immediately deleted from backend storage).
