It's hard to evaluate and compare the quality of retrievals and responses.\n\n2\\. Non-technical users like PMs cannot prototype pipelines or run experiments effectively, creating a bottleneck on engineers.\n\n3\\. Managing experimenting is messy, requiring teams to maintain scripts and spreadsheets.\n\n.\n\n.\n\n### 😁 The Solution: Athina IDE\n\n**🧪 Athina IDE is a collaborative editor for AI teams to prototype, evaluate, and experiment with AI pipelines in a spreadsheet-like UI.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=81492\u0026key=user_uploads/731066/d86504e7-ba8e-4b65-a872-a0dafeabfa0b)\n\n.\n\n### 🎯 Core Philosophies\n\n\u2028**1\\. Great AI products are a team effort:** PMs, Data Scientists, SWEs, MLEs, QA teams, etc., all have to come together to build something great\u2028\u2028\n\n...so we made sure that **_non-technical users could experiment, prototype, and run tests on Athina just as easily as technical users._**\u2028\u2028\u2028\n\n**2\\. Great AI products are built around great data**\u2028\u2028\n\nThis is why the entire editor revolves around your data and gives you powerful controls like a spreadsheet.\n\n.\n\n.\n\n### _What can you do with Athina IDE?_\n\n.\n\n## **✨ Prototype Complex Pipelines with Dynamic Columns ✨**\n\n![](https://athina.ai/develop/prototype.png)\n\n**⚡️ Dynamic Columns** in Athina IDE let you prototype complex pipelines in a UI that feels like a spreadsheet. Dynamic columns can be used to:\n\n* Run prompts\n* Execute code\n* Retrieve data from a vector DB\n* Make API calls\n* Classify text / extract entities\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=81492\u0026key=user_uploads/731066/1a18b5ba-2b6a-4a41-b5d5-7c702af3bd2d)\n\n.\n\n## **Run Evaluations**\n\nPlug in any eval from our library of over **50+ preset evals**, or use custom evals. Run evaluations in seconds with just a few clicks.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=81492\u0026key=user_uploads/731066/9288258e-9ce9-4e65-9f16-8de55405807c)\n\n.\n\n## **Run Experiments**\n\nIn just a few clicks, anyone can experiment with a different prompt, model, or retriever.\n\nIf you are technical, you can run even more powerful experiments.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=81492\u0026key=user_uploads/731066/7694a57b-ab7d-4444-b568-a2eb2944d503)\n\n.\n\n##### **Compare Everything Side-by-Side**\n\n* Compare datasets side-by-side with an optional diff-view!\n* Run evaluations on multiple datasets simultaneously and compare metrics!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=81492\u0026key=user_uploads/731066/131fe29f-828d-48d5-aae7-f9f7a470c9ce)\n\n.\n\n## **How can you use it?**\n\nYou can start using Athina IDE for free!\n\n* Create an account at \u003chttps://app.athina.ai\u003e and go to the **Develop** tab.\n* For a personal demo and to learn more about how Athina IDE can accelerate your AI development, book a demo with us: \u003chttps://cal.com/shiv-athina/30min\u003e.","slug":"LCO-athina-ide-experiment-with-ai-pipelines-in-a-spreadsheet-like-ui","created_at":"2024-06-13T20:09:26.820Z","updated_at":"2026-05-24T22:29:35.392Z","total_vote_count":33,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/LCO-athina-ide-experiment-with-ai-pipelines-in-a-spreadsheet-like-ui","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=81492\u0026key=user_uploads/731066/d86504e7-ba8e-4b65-a872-a0dafeabfa0b","company":{"id":27843,"name":"Gooseworks","slug":"gooseworks","url":"https://gooseworks.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/be25b5e55711ba973cd7f6c514b56a10ab3da20e.png","batch":"Winter 2023","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Sales","Marketing","AI","AI Assistant"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/27843"}}
