What Almanac does

Almanac is an AI agent that deeply understands your work. Today people rely on a stack of productivity tools to hold the context of their work including todo lists, issue trackers, wikis, and CRMs. All of them have to be updated by hand, and none were built for AI. Almanac maintains its own self-updating productivity suite for you. This gives it an absurdly good understanding of your work, based on which it proactively gets things done for you. Almanac starts with individuals, but it's built for teams. As more of a team connects their work, the agent gains shared context across everyone, so it understands not just what you're doing but how the whole team's work fits together.

Organizing company knowledge

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building Almanac, an AI agent that acts as a self-updating productivity suite. Almanac connects to the tools you use - todo lists, wikis, issue trackers, CRMs - and builds an evolving map of what you and your team are working on, then proactively takes actions for you. The real difference is Almanac doesn't need to be manually updated, because it understands context across your stack, both for individuals and teams.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

San Francisco, CA, USA. The company will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is based and the ecosystem for SaaS and AI startups is strongest here.
