Almanac functions as an intelligent assistant integrated into communication platforms like Slack and iMessage. It accesses company data across tools such as Gmail, Calendar, GitHub, Attio, and AI conversation logs to maintain a continuously updated internal knowledge base. This system tracks ongoing projects, customer details, decisions made, and pending tasks, providing real-time context without requiring manual updates.
It operates with full access to web browsers, terminals, and file systems, enabling it to perform actions like running code, creating documents, and navigating websites. When required, it can take direct action across connected accounts. However, for sensitive operations involving logins, payments, or critical choices, it alerts the user or hands control over to them through a live browser interface.
