# Athena Intelligence
> Athena Intelligence is an enterprise platform for building and running AI agents that do multi-step work across a company's systems: researching, analyzing data, drafting documents and decks, running recurring workflows, and powering internal applications. Every action is attributed and reversible, agents inherit each user's permissions, and the platform runs in Athena's cloud, a customer's VPC, on-premises, or air-gapped.
Key facts:
- Agents work with the permissions of the person or service they run for; access is inherited live from source systems.
- Workflows (Agent Operating Procedures) are written procedures with approval steps, run on a schedule or trigger.
- Applications built with agents are published with versions, staging, rollback, and single sign-on; access is included in Athena services.
- Data stays in the customer's own storage in open formats; customer data is not used to train models.
- Deployment: managed cloud, customer VPC, on-premises, or air-gapped.
