Hercules’ Athena streamlines email filing to the firm’s document management system. By leveraging advanced algorithms, Athena predicts the correct filing destination for emails within Outlook inboxes and iManage/NetDocuments. By automating this process, Athena enables firms to maintain compliance standards while allowing their lawyers to concentrate on more meaningful, high-value tasks.

Lawyers can sync Outlook folders to iManage/ NetDoucments. Additionally, the minimal footprint of Athena’s toolbar and ribbon enables seamless layering into users' existing Outlook workflow. 

Key Features of Athena include:

Intuitive Interface
Easily file with one-click, auto file, batch file, and send-and-file your emails

DMS Integration 
Sync filing to the DMS and witness seamless integration

User Review & Control 
Modify suggested assignments before filing, giving 100% user control

Mobile Time Capture
Minimizes the risk of sending emails to unintended recipients.

Error Detection
Smartly link time with clients and matters, boosting overall efficiency

This was formerly a solution from Hercules AI.  In August 2025, Aderant signed an agreement to purchase the legal tech assets of HerculesAI, including Apollo, Verify, and Athena. HerculesAI was fomerly known as ZERO.
