It connects conversations with relevant files and drafts, helping teams track projects and follow up on next steps without manual organization.

Problem
Teams lose context across scattered emails, meetings, and documents, making it difficult to track decisions, follow up on action items, and maintain a shared understanding of ongoing work. Important details from conversations get siloed in individual inboxes or buried in meeting notes, forcing people to manually piece together project histories and next steps.
Solution
Almanac provides a wiki that automatically grows with a team's work by ingesting emails, calendar events, meeting notes, and document edits into a connected knowledge base. The platform links conversations to relevant files and draft revisions, so when a user references a project, Almanac surfaces the full context—who said what, what changed, and what's pending. Users can ask Almanac natural-language questions like "Where did we leave things with Maya?" and receive a concise status summary with prepared draft replies. It supports working directly within the platform, allowing users to continue conversations, refine documents, or edit code while relevant materials appear alongside the chat interface. Almanac prepares drafts and research in the background but defaults to leaving consequential actions for user approval unless explicitly instructed otherwise.
Target Audience
Primary users are small teams and early-stage startups that juggle multiple external stakeholders, need to track deal progress or product decisions, and want a low-maintenance way to keep project knowledge current.
