Almanac on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Almanac is the agent that knows you. You message it in Slack or iMessage; it knows what is happening across your company and can use your accounts to get real tasks done for you. It has a full computer, browser and terminal. It takes your Gmail, Calendar, Attio, GitHub, AI convos, docs and meeting notes and compiles them into a Wiki that keeps itself up to date. It keeps a current understanding of what you’re building, who your customers are, what was decided, and what still needs to happen. It can use websites, run code, create files and take actions across your accounts. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "An agent on its own computer, signed into your tools, with a wiki of everything your company knows. You text it work. It texts you when it's done." (source)
