TL;DR
- We are launching an integration marketplace so you can connect MCP servers for CRM, data warehouses, and analytics without custom code.
- Knowledge automation gains timeline views and auto-summaries to fuel rituals like /blog/founder-weekly-operating-review-ai.
- Approvals workflows will include contextual risk scoring, drawing on the logic in /blog/athenic-approvals-guardrails-ga.

Athenic Product Roadmap for Q1 2025
We promised to build a generalised AI assistant that adapts to your business. Here is what is shipping through Q1 2025 and how it supports the growth playbooks across /blog/community-growth-plan-ai-agents, /blog/organic-social-flywheel-ai-agents, and /blog/pricing-experiment-framework-ai-agents.
Key takeaways
- Integrations expand rapidly without sacrificing security.
- Knowledge workflows become more visual and searchable.
- Approvals add contextual guardrails to keep regulators calm.

Integration marketplace beta
| Integration type | Status | Notes | CTA |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive) | Private beta | MCP servers available for early testers | Apply via support |
| Data warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake) | In development | Read-only scopes first | Join waitlist |
| Knowledge tools (Notion, Confluence) | Design phase | Syncs decisions + transcripts | Vote on priorities |
We are following guidance from the OpenAI Agents MCP specification to keep integrations permissioned and auditable (OpenAI, 2024). Expect a staged rollout with approval checkpoints.
How can you get involved?
- Share your primary integration needs.
- Volunteer for sandbox testing; we provide dedicated support.
- Use the approvals workflow to ensure your security team is comfortable.
Knowledge automation upgrades
- Timeline view: Visualise research, interviews, and approvals across weeks.
- Auto-summaries: Research agents summarise multi-hour interviews, tagging opportunities for /blog/customer-research-sprint-five-days.
- Search filters: Filter by persona, product area, or decision ID.
We are aligning with the UK National Archives’ 2024 digital recordkeeping guidance to ensure long-term auditability (National Archives, 2024). That means richer metadata, retention rules, and export options.
What mini story should you know?
In January pilots, a climate-tech startup surfaced a buried insight: investors wanted lifecycle analytics in board packs. Within a week, the team shipped an analysis using our knowledge timeline, secured a second meeting, and added the story to their /blog/organic-social-flywheel-ai-agents content cadence.
Approvals and risk scoring
| Feature | Why it matters | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Contextual risk score | Prioritises reviews for sensitive changes | Building |
| FCA-friendly templates | Supports UK financial services customers | Testing with advisors |
| Audit exports | One-click bundles for regulators | Live for beta cohort |
We are referencing the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s 2024 AI update to make sure templates meet sector expectations (FCA, 2024). Risk scoring combines agent-derived signals and human classification.
Community and support
- Founder circles: Monthly sessions sharing wins from /blog/community-growth-plan-ai-agents.
- Office hours: Bi-weekly drop-ins covering integrations and approvals.
- Knowledge base: Expanded guides and troubleshooting driven by user feedback.
We continue to follow the UK Government’s Service Standard for accessible support (GOV.UK, 2024). That means shorter wait times, transcripts on demand, and transparent status updates.
Counterpoint: are we prioritising enterprise over early-stage teams?
No. Each feature ships with lightweight defaults for early teams. Integrations start read-only, knowledge timelines operate with simple templates, and approvals scale from single-founder workflows to regulated firms. We will keep shipping product-neutral guides -see /blog/customer-research-sprint-five-days -so every founder benefits, regardless of plan.
Summary and next steps
We are building the connective tissue your AI-led business needs: integrations, evidence vaults, and approvals. Join the integration beta, test the timeline view, and send feedback straight from the product. Your input directs what ships next quarter.
