Write to Athena in ordinary sentences. You do not need command syntax.

​
Open the conversation

Use one of these entry points: Press Cmd+J on macOS or Ctrl+J on Windows and Linux to open the utility rail.

​
Name the result

Ask for the result you need, and include the constraint that would change the answer. Use exact Project, Program, Team, or workspace names when two objects could match.

​
Ask questions before asking for changes

Athena can summarize work, find blockers, compare actual time, or explain recent activity without changing anything. For example:
  • “What is blocking Spring Gala?”
  • “Which Projects have no update in the last two weeks?”
  • “How much human and agent time did Website Rebuild use this week?”
  • “What changed in this workspace yesterday?”

​
Ask for a plan

Ask Athena to draft a plan when the order matters. For example:
  • “Plan today around the two calls already on my calendar.”
  • “Break this Project into Tasks and keep each Task under half a day.”
  • “Draft a recovery plan for the off-track Projects. Do not change any dates.”
Review the proposal before Docket applies changes.

​
Answer follow-up questions

Athena pauses when it needs information or approval. The question appears in the conversation and can also appear in Inbox. Answer it in the active conversation so the session can continue.

​
Set durable preferences

Put recurring instructions under Settings → Athena instead of repeating them in every prompt. Keep one-off constraints in the conversation where they apply.
