A slightly uncomfortable question:
Are we still doing product discovery - or mostly validating decisions we already made?
As teams grow, processes get heavier, but it sometimes feels like real exploration gets lost.
We ve been thinking about how Athena could push teams
back toward actual discovery - not just confirmation.
How honest do you think discovery really is today?

Hey Product Hunt 👋
Product discovery shouldn’t start from zero every single time.
So we kept building.
This release isn’t about new features - it’s about access.
We’re opening up capabilities that were previously limited to enterprise.
🎁 PH exclusive: use code PRODUCTHUNT for access to our premium features 🔥
For those new here - Athena is your living product brain.
An AI-powered platform that automates product discovery by connecting business intent with technical reality. It builds a structured understanding of your product - how it works, what constraints exist, and where real opportunities are hiding.
But this launch is about opening things up:
You asked. We unlocked.
✨ GitHub connector - so Athena understands your actual codebase, not just assumptions
📄 Document connector - PRDs turn them into structured product thinking automatically
These capabilities were previously available only to enterprise teams - and are now open to anyone on premium.
Athena works with any product! SaaS, internal tools, infrastructure and adapts to how your team actually builds.
We’re here all day - listening, answering, and learning from you 🙌
Ask us anything, challenge us, or just say hi.
Excited to build this together 🚀

Hey everyone 👋
Tal here, CTO at Athena
One thing we kept seeing again and again:
product decisions are made in partial context.
Docs say one thing, the code says another, and the gaps in between are where most mistakes happen..
This launch is a big step for us, because these capabilities were previously limited to enterprise teams.
Now they’re open to everyone.
We built Athena to work from what actually exists - not just what’s written down.
It connects to your codebase, ingests your docs, and continuously builds a structured understanding of how your product really works.
Under the hood, that means AI agents mapping architecture, flows, constraints - and keeping it all up to date.
If you’re curious about how it works (or want to go deep into the architecture) - happy to share more 👀
